Here are five things to know before the Badgers face the Hoosiers:
1. A GLANCE AT THE SEASON: Wisconsin continues to excel this season maintaining a perfect 7-0 home record for the first time since 2006-07. Their impressive 10-2 overall record marks the best start for the program since the 2009-10 season. The Badgers are looking for their first 2-0 conference start since the 2010-11 season.
2. LAST TIME OUT: Wisconsin used a fourth-quarter, 11-0 scoring surge to knock off Albany on Friday, Dec. 20.
Serah Williams and
Carter McCray led the team to victory with Williams tallying 28 points and 12 rebounds - her 30th career double-double, and her eighth career 25-point game. McCray earned her second double-double with the Badgers, scoring 15 points and securing a UW-high 14 rebounds. She has now scored in double-figures in five consecutive games.
