You may remember these from last year, but if you don’t here’s a quick refresher. We will be going over each non-conference basketball opponent in a quick, fun post. As the games get closer, we will go more into depth, but for now, start to get excited for the most hyped Badger season in school history.
First up is Northern Kentucky, who visit the Kohl Center on November 14 at 8 p.m.
School: Northern Kentucky Norse
Location: Highland Heights, Kentucky
Conference: Atlantic Sun Conference
Undergrad Enrollment: 13,206
2013-14 record: (9-21, 5-13 Atlantic Sun)
Top returning players: Jordan Jackson (13.5 pts, 2.9 assists); Jalen Billups (9.8 pts); Tyler White (10.8 pt).
Who’d win in a mascot fight?:As much as it pains me to admit as a Packer fan, the Norse were some pretty badass people. I don’t think they’d have much trouble with a Badger.
One interesting major: Library Informatics
One fact to help you win your local trivia night: George Clooney attended Northern Kentucky.
Prediction: The Atlantic Sun has had made their mark in the NCAA tournament the last couple years with Florida Gulf Coast and Mercer. I don’t see Northern Kentucky, who is predicted to finish fifth in the conference, to be much of a deterrent to the Badgers start. The Badgers win this won by at least 20.
