MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin got back on the winning track with senior forward Frank Kaminksy’s return to the lineup Thursday.
Kaminsky scored 22 points to lead No. 7 Wisconsin to a 70-55 Big Ten win against Nebraska at Kohl Center.
Kaminsky suffered a concussion last week at Purdue and sat out Sunday as the Badgers’ eight-game winning streak came to an end in a 67-62 loss at Rutgers.
On Thursday, Kaminsky scored 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the first half.
Junior guard Terran Petteway scored a game-high 27 points on 11-of-20 shooting for Nebraska.
