MADISON, Wis. — Coming off a 61-48 win at Nebraska, No. 21 Wisconsin returns home to host No. 3 Michigan on Sunday. The Badgers are 3-3 against AP Top-25 teams this season and are seeking their 9th top-10 win under
Greg Gard.
Wisconsin is looking to avenge an earlier season loss to Michigan. Dating back to the 2018-19 season, UW has won it's last 8 rematch games against a team it lost to earlier in the same season.
THE STARTING FIVE
1) BADGER BOUNCE BACK: Wisconsin has not been swept in a regular-season series since 2017-18. UW has only been swept three times in six seasons under head coach Greg Gard.
2) DOUBLE-DIGIT DUBS: Wisconsin is looking for Big Ten win number 10, which would give it double-digit wins for the 18th time in the last 20 years. No other Big Ten team can make that claim.
3) D-FENSE! D-FENSE! The Badgers lead the Big Ten allowing only 62.4 ppg this season and rank 2nd in FG% defense (40.8%). Wisconsin's defense is 7th in the NCAA in Ken Pomeroy's Adjusted Defensive Efficiency.
4) NO PLACE LIKE HOME: Dating back to last season, Wisconsin has won 19 of its last 21 home games. Under
Greg Gard, UW is 72-17 (.809) at the Kohl Center, including 39-15 (.722) in the Big Ten.
5) RESUME BUILDING: The Badgers are putting together one of nation's most impressive resumes this season. Wisconsin has 8 Quad 1 and Quad 2 wins this season, according to the NET rankings. Only Alabama (10), Creighton (10), Gonzaga (10), Illinois (10), Ohio State (9) and Purdue (9) have more.
