What to Know

The Wisconsin Badgers will be returning home after a two-game road trip. Wisconsin and the Michigan Wolverines will face off in a Big Ten battle at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday at Kohl Center. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Badgers came up short against the Nebraska Cornhuskers this past Saturday, falling 73-63. One thing holding Wisconsin back was the mediocre play of guard Max Klesmit, who did not have his best game: he played for 35 minutes with.

Meanwhile, Michigan was just a bucket shy of a win this past Saturday and fell 62-61 to the Indiana Hoosiers. Center Hunter Dickinson put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 16 points in addition to seven boards and three blocks.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Wisconsin is expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 4-8 against the spread when favored.

Wisconsin is now 14-10 while the Wolverines sit at 14-11. A couple stats to keep an eye on: The Badgers enter the matchup with only nine turnovers per game on average, good for third best in college basketball.
