Current Records: Wisconsin 11-4; Indiana 10-6

What to Know

The Indiana Hoosiers are 2-10 against the #18 Wisconsin Badgers since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Saturday. The Hoosiers and Wisconsin will face off in a Big Ten battle at 1 p.m. ET at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

IU received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 85-66 to the Penn State Nittany Lions. Guard Jalen Hood-Schifino wasn't much of a difference maker for IU; Hood-Schifino finished with 11 points on 5-for-15 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin was close but no cigar on Tuesday as they fell 69-65 to the Michigan State Spartans. The top scorer for Wisconsin was forward Steven Crowl (19 points).

The Hoosiers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. Now might not be the best time to take IU against the spread since they've let down bettors for the past seven consecutive games.

The losses put IU at 10-6 and Wisconsin at 11-4. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: IU enters the game with 79.9 points per game on average, good for 32nd best in college basketball. But Wisconsin comes into the matchup boasting the 33rd fewest points allowed per game in college basketball at 62.9. We'll see which of these strengths -- offense or defense -- will win out.
