MADISON, Wis. — Winners of three straight, Wisconsin travels to Nebraska for a game on Tuesday looking for its fifth true road win of the season. The Badgers are 8-4 against the Huskers since they joined the Big Ten.

3. REUVERS ON THE RISE: Sophomore Nate Reuvers has tallied career highs in two of his last four games, scoring 18 points at Maryland and then posting 22 points and 10 rebounds at Illinois.

4. GETTING DEFENSIVE: The Badgers are ranked ninth in defensive efficiency according to KenPom.com. UW is allowing 62.0 points per game and ranks sixth in the NCAA with just 9.9 turnovers per contest.

5. TOP-FIVE TAKEDOWNS: With last weekend's win over No. 2 Michigan, Greg Gard has now led the Badgers to four top-five wins (and seven top-10 wins) in his four seasons at the helm. That's the most in the Big Ten during that timespan.
