Who won SIU Edwardsville Cougars vs Wisconsin Badgers?

Wisconsin Badgers beat SIU Edwardsville Cougars 94-69 at Kohl Center on November 17, 2025.

The Wisconsin Badgers showcased their strength at home with a decisive 94-69 victory over the SIU Edwardsville Cougars at the Kohl Center. This win marks the Badgers' fifth consecutive victory at home, improving their home record to 4-0 this season and extending their overall winning streak to three games. The Badgers have been particularly impressive in their recent form, boasting a record of 7-3 over their last ten games, with an average of 77.6 points scored and only 68.1 points allowed. Their last five games have seen them average 81.8 points while allowing just 64.8, indicating a solid defensive effort alongside their offensive prowess.

On the other hand, the Cougars, who entered the game with a 3-2 record, have also shown promise, winning three of their last five games. They averaged 74.1 points scored and 64.2 points allowed over their last ten games. However, their recent performance has been less consistent, as they struggled against tougher opponents, including a loss to Indiana State prior to their matchup with Wisconsin. The Cougars' away record stands at 4-1, showcasing their ability to perform on the road, but they faced a significant challenge against the Badgers.

In their previous meetings, the two teams had not faced each other recently, making this matchup particularly intriguing as both sought to establish dominance. The Badgers' home advantage at the Kohl Center has historically been a factor in their success, and they capitalized on this once again.

In terms of player performances, the Badgers were led by a well-rounded effort, with multiple players contributing to the scoring. The scoring plays in the second half highlighted the Badgers' offensive efficiency, including a three-point jumper by Braeden Carrington and a series of free throws by Darrion Baker and Iwo Baganc, which helped to extend their lead as the game progressed.

The Cougars did manage to keep the game competitive for stretches, with Aleksas Bieliauskas and Harrison Alexander making key plays, but they ultimately could not match the Badgers' firepower. As the game wore on, the Badgers' defense tightened, limiting the Cougars' scoring opportunities and allowing Wisconsin to pull away in the second half.

The conditions at the Kohl Center were favorable for the home team, with a supportive crowd that energized the Badgers throughout the game. The market had priced the Badgers as strong favorites, reflecting their home dominance and recent form, with a home win probability of 1.0.

Overall, the Badgers' victory solidifies their position as a formidable force in the NCAAB landscape this season, while the Cougars will need to regroup and address their inconsistencies as they move forward.
