Game Coverage

Feb. 26 | 8 p.m. | Assembly Hall | Bloomington, Ind.


MADISON, Wis. — Winners in eight of their last 10 Big Ten road games, Wisconsin travels to Indiana for a game on Tuesday. The Badgers are seeking their seventh Big Ten road win of the season. UW has won six of its last eight games at Assembly Hall.

Up next, the Badgers return home to a two-game homestand with Penn State visiting the Kohl Center on Saturday, then Iowa on March 7.

1. RESUME BUILDING: The Badgers checked in at No. 13 in the Feb. 24 NET rankings and No. 12 according to KenPom.com. Wisconsin is one of 12 teams with seven Quadrant 1 wins. UW has played the fourth-longest schedule in the NCAA (per KenPom.com).

2. POSTSEASON MARCH: The Badgers are positioning themselves for a return to the NCAA tournament. Wisconsin is one of just five schools to participate in 19 of the last 20 NCAA tournaments with trips to the Sweet 16 or better in four of the last five seasons, including two under head coach Greg Gard.

3. 20/20 WINNING: Wisconsin is one win away from reaching 20 victories for the 15th time in the last 17 seasons. That would tie the Badgers with Michigan State for the most in the Big Ten.

4. ROAD WARRIORS: Wisconsin has won seven Big Ten road games when trailing in the second half. The Badgers have out-scored their opponent in the second half in 14 of 16 Big Ten games.

5. ASSEMBLY MEETING: Wisconsin has won six of the last eight meetings with Indiana at Assembly Hall, dating back to 2008. The Badgers have won in each of the last five meetings with Indiana, and 19 of the last 21 matchups. Since 2002, Wisconsin is 25-5 (.833) all-time against the Hoosiers. Prior to that, UW was 49-90 (.353) all-time vs. Indiana.
