Michigan @ Wisconsin

Current Records: Michigan 14-10; Wisconsin 20-5

What to Know

The #15 Wisconsin Badgers lost both of their matches to the Michigan Wolverines last season on scores of 54-77 and 59-67, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season. Wisconsin and Michigan will face off in a Big Ten battle at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at Kohl Center. The contest is expected to be a close one, with the Badgers going off at just a 2.5-point favorite.

The Indiana Hoosiers typically have all the answers at home, but last week Wisconsin proved too difficult a challenge. Wisconsin snuck past IU with a 74-69 win. Guard Jonathan Davis took over for Wisconsin, finishing with 30 points (a whopping 41% of their total) in addition to 12 rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Wolverines didn't have too much breathing room in their game with the Iowa Hawkeyes this past Thursday, but they still walked away with an 84-79 victory. Michigan's forward Moussa Diabate looked sharp as he had 28 points along with eight boards.

Wisconsin is now 20-5 while Michigan sits at 14-10. Two stats to keep an eye on: Wisconsin enters the matchup with only 8.6 turnovers per game on average, good for second best in college basketball. Less enviably, the Wolverines are stumbling into the contest with the fifth fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 10.1 on average.
