They Said It
Head Coach Craig Kennedy
On the game
"I was really proud of how we battled in this game. Central State has been surging and playing really well. At one point the fouls were 7-1 in the first half and yet we stayed within striking distance. In the second half, we played well but give the Marauders credit, they got some key offensive rebounds that hurt us. Rocco Lamuno played some great defense off the bench for us. We head to Kentucky tomorrow for what should be a good matchup with Kentucky State on Monday."
 
Up Next
The Badgers finish the road trip at Kentucky State on Monday at 7:30 p.m. (ET).
