La Crosse native Jonathan Davis and the 13th-ranked Wisconsin men’s basketball team are back in action Wednesday afternoon.

Davis is coming off a career-high 12 points, but in a heartbreaking loss to Marquette at the buzzer. The freshman played the second-most minutes on the team in the loss.

Davis, a 6-foot-5 guard, is averaging 7.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.0 assist and a combined 1.3 steals/blocks in 22.3 minutes per game — tied for fourth on the team.

The 3-1 Badgers were originally supposed to play Louisville, but because of COVID-19 protocols, the Cardinals had to postpone.

Instead, Wisconsin picked up a game against Rhode Island, which tips off at 3:30 p.m. from the Kohl Center and can be seen on the Big Ten Network.
