Here are five things to know:

1. KNOW THE OPPONENT: The Buckeyes are 7-5-2 on the season and 3-3-1 in Big Ten play. The side sits in the middle of the Big Ten standings and are currently tied with Michigan State and Rutgers, with all three having identical records. Ohio State is coming off a 2-0 defeated to Minnesota on Thursday, Oct. 12.

The Badgers are 11-12-8 all-time against the Buckeyes, which includes a 9-3-4 record at home. The last time Wisconsin played OSU was back on October 20, 2021, which resulted in a 0-0 draw.
