Wisconsin’s offense has gone cold in recent weeks, leading to an 80-67 loss on the road to the Illini last week and a narrow 51-49 win over the Nittany Lions over the weekend. The Badgers’ 41.8% field goal percentage ranks last in the Big Ten, and their 31.7% three-point percentage ranks second-to-last.

Despite that, Wisconsin enters the week tied for second in the Big Ten with a 9-3 record in the conference, one game behind Illinois. At 18-4 overall, the Badgers have already matched last season’s win total.
The Badgers face another big in-conference test this week, when they travel to Michigan State on Tuesday night to face the 17th-ranked Spartans. The Badgers lost to Michigan State in Madison in their last meeting on January 22, 86-74. The Spartans are 9-1 at home so far this season.
Wisconsin will return home on Saturday against Rutgers.
