•    Under Bo Ryan, the Badgers are 20-7 (.741) at the Kohl Center vs. ranked foes.

•    This is the Badgers second win over a top-10 opponent this season (UW beat #6 Duke 73-69 on Dec. 2). It marks the first time since the 2006-07 season that Wisconsin knocked off two top-10 teams in one season (89-75 over #2 Pittsburgh and 72-69 over #5 Ohio State).
•    Wisconsin extends its home-winning streak to 15 games, including a 10-0 mark this year.
•    With Jordan Taylor scoring 23 points and Jason Bohannon adding 20, the Badgers had two 20-point scorers in the same game for the first time since earlier this year at Green Bay when Trevon Hughes had 27 and Jon Leuer poured in 26.
•    The Badgers had eight turnovers in the game and two in the second half. Purdue was forcing 18.4 turnovers per game coming into the contest.
•    Wisconsin's 43 points in the second half were the most the Badgers scored in a half versus a Big Ten opponent since scoring 45 against Indiana on March 8, 2009.
•    The Badgers' win snapped a four-game losing streak to the Boilermakers dating back to the 2006-07 season.
•    Wisconsin's 73 points were the most Purdue has given up this season and the 66 points scored by the Boilermakers was their second-lowest output of the season. Purdue had 64 in a win over Central Michigan on Nov. 28.
