PHOTO GALLERY: Wisconsin stays perfect to start the season, takes down winless Chicago State
In their final tune-up before conference play, the No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers won their eighth straight to continue their perfect start to the season. Sixth-year transfer John Tonje led the way again, putting up 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Next is Big Ten rival Michigan, before a trip to Milwaukee to take on undefeated No. 10 Marquette next week.
