Up next, the Badgers travel for a game at Minnesota on Feb. 6. Wisconsin has won in each of its last three trips to Williams Arena.

1. RESUME BUILDING: The Badgers checked in at No. 12 in the Jan. 30 NET rankings and No. 10 according to KenPom.com. Wisconsin is 10-5 against the KenPom Top 100 with five Quadrant 1 wins. UW has played the seventh-longest schedule in the NCAA (per KenPom.com).

2. LOOKING TO EVEN THE SCORE: Wisconsin and Maryland are meeting for the eighth time since the Terrapins joined the Big Ten, as UM holds a 4-3 lead in the series since joining the league. The Terps topped the Badgers earlier this season, 64-60, at the XFINITY Center.

3. GETTING DEFENSIVE: During its current four-game winning streak, Wisconsin has held each of its last four opponents to a season-low scoring total. Overall, the Badgers rank fifth in defensive efficiency (KenPom.com) and 11th in the NCAA allowing 61.5 ppg.

4. TRIPLE THREAT: Senior Ethan Happ is the only player in the NCAA with two triple-doubles this season. He is one of just five major conference players in the last 10 years to post multiple triple-doubles in a season.

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.
