MADISON (WKOW) — Badger fans bundled up and set up tents outside of the Kohl Center ahead of the Wisconsin versus Purdue matchup. 

Fans were confident the Badgers were going to come up on top. However, the team fell short, 75-69.

“You know, I’m biased. But you know, the past four, huge, top 10 matchups in the Kohl Center have gone pretty favorably,” one fan said. 

Ahead of the game, fans waiting said they didn’t think it was too cold. But, as the night went on, they said they we’re just trying to stay warm.

“Just the setups that people bring up here, I’d say these are people right over here that have a ice fishing tent. I wish we had thought of that,” another fan said.
