However, since then, Michigan destroyed teams in the Fort Myers Tip-Off, including Xavier, en route to a 6-1 record. But Tuesday night saw a different battle — playing on the road against a ranked Big Ten team. And that team being a pesky Wisconsin squad at the Kohl Center.

Vladislav Goldin scored a career-high 24 points — including three straight baskets inside down the stretch — and Michigan defeated No. 11 Wisconsin 67-64 in the Big Ten opener for both teams.

Michigan’s twin towers were too much for the Wisconsin men's basketball team Tuesday night. The Wolverines handed the 11th-ranked Badgers their first loss of the season, 67-64, at the Kohl Center with 7-footers Danny Wolf and Vladislav Goldin leading the way.
