MADISON, Wis. – The No. 22 Wisconsin men's basketball team is riding a six-game winning streak after pulling out the biggest comeback in program history against Indiana. The Badgers conference action with a road test at No. 21 Ohio State on Saturday, with tip set for 11 a.m. CT on Big Ten Network. Here is the Starting Five.

Comeback Kids – Wisconsin won a thrilling game after erasing a 22-point first half deficit to Indiana. The 64-59 victory marked the sixth-straight win for the Badgers and matched the largest comeback in program history. Johnny Davis led all scorers with 23 points, including the biggest bucket of the night – a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:18 remaining in the game.

Wahl Does It Ahl – The junior forward helped the Badgers wipe away the Hoosiers' lead on both ends of the court Wednesday night. Wahl grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds and also scored seven points. It marked the first time a UW player grabbed double-digit boards this season. Wahl's three blocks marked the fifth time this season that he has recorded multiple swats in a game.

Pi-"Vogt"-al – Graduate transfer Chris Vogt had his best game to date as a Badger in UW's win over Indiana. The big man scored a season-high nine points, despite entering the game with seven points through the first eight games of the season. Vogt also grabbed six rebounds, including four offensive boards, plus a pivotal assist to Johnny Davis for what proved to be the game-clinching 3.

DE-FENSE! DE-FENSE! – After struggling to slow down Indiana in the first half, the Badgers responded in the second half allowing just 17 points to the Hoosiers, including 22.8 percent shooting from the floor. Wisconsin leads the Big Ten and ranks top 30 in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 59.1 points per game. UW ranks fifth in the Big Ten forcing 12.9 turnovers per contest and is averaging 15.2 points off those takeaways.

Series with OSU – Saturday will mark the 169th meeting between Ohio State and Wisconsin and the 18th with both programs ranked in the AP Top 25 poll. UW trails the overall series, 93-75, but the Badgers have won six of the last nine games over the Buckeyes, including three of the last four in Columbus.
