MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin men's basketball will play its last regular season road game Saturday when it heads to Piscataway, New Jersey for a rematch with the Rutgers. Before the 5 p.m. tip off on Big Ten Network, here is the Starting Five:

1.) Happy Homecoming: Four Badgers hail from the state of Minnesota: Steven Crowl (Eagan), Brad Davison (Maple Grove), Ben Carlson (Woodbury), and Tyler Wahl (Lakeville). The group had a happy homecoming on Wednesday night, as Wisconsin earned a 68-67 win over Minnesota to sweep this season's Border Battle. Crowl led all scorers with 20 points, while also adding seven rebounds. Wahl tallied his second double-double of the season recording 12 points and 10 rebounds. Davison had seven points and tied for a team high with three assists.

2.) The Artists: Wisconsin outworked the Golden Gophers in the key and on the glass throughout the whole game. UW doubled the amount of rebounds Minnesota finished with, 38-19, including a 10-4 advantage on offensive boards. The Badgers held the upper leg in the paint as they posted 36 points from that range compared to 20 for Minnesota.

3.) Road Success: Despite playing in some of the most challenging arenas during the season, UW finds themselves with an impressive 8-2 record in road games. Wisconsin is the only program in the Big Ten with two losses on the road.

4.) At the Line: Brad Davison is having his best season from the free throw line, having converted 25 straight attempts. His 89.1% average from the line this year would put him at 5th in a single season in program history. His career average has improved from 83.2% to 84.5% and he currently ranks 4th in that category.

5.) Rematch Time: Wisconsin heads to New Jersey looking to to avenge a loss to Rutgers earlier this season in Madison. Despite the loss, UW leads the all-time series, 9-4. The last time the Badgers faced Rutgers on the road, Greg Gard and Wisconsin brought home a 60-54 victory.
