MADISON, Wis. – After a pair of Big Ten wins, Wisconsin will resume non-conference play hosting three games at the Kohl Center over the month of December. First up, the Badgers host Lehigh on Thursday with tip set for 6 p.m. CT on Big Ten Network.

Before the Badgers tip, here is the Starting Five:

1. B1G ROAD WIN: In their first Big Ten road game of the season, the Badgers defeated Iowa in an overtime thriller and earned a 78-75 win in Iowa City. It was another gutsy win for UW, as Sunday was the third overtime game of the season (UW improved to 2-1 in OT games). Tyler Wahl scored a game-high 21 points and added seven rebounds. Connor Essegian (14 pts), Steven Crowl (12 pts), and Chucky Hepburn (11 pts) also scored in double figures for UW.

2. WAHL COMES UP BIG IN OT: Wahl has come up big for the Badgers in all three of their overtime games this season. Wahl leads all scorers in extra minutes, averaging 5.7 points per overtime. His contributions in overtime go beyond scoring as the forward has grabbed at least one steal in each outing.

3. UP IN THE RANKS: With the Badgers' win on Sunday, they earned themselves a spot in the latest Associated Press Top 25 rankings checking in at No. 22. This is the first time since last March that the Badgers have been ranked.

4. NON-CONFERENCE, NO PROBLEM: Over the past two seasons the Badgers are sitting at 16-5 in non-conference games. Winning six of those at home.

5. UW AND LEHIGH: Thursday's game at the Kohl Center will be the first meeting between the Badgers and the Mountain Hawks. Lehigh, a member of the Patriot League, currently holds a 4-4 record, coming off of a 88-62 loss against UMBC on Saturday. The Hawks are led by guard Evan Taylor who is averaging 13.5 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, and shooting .438 (39-89) from the field.
