EVANSTON, Ill. - Northwestern will travel to Madison, WI. for it's final road game of the season to face the No. 24 Wisconsin Badgers on Wednesday night in the Kohl Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Big Ten Network and on WGN 720.
The Wildcats are coming off an overtime victory over Nebraska in Pinnacle Bank Arena. Miller Kopp led the team in scoring for the eight time this season with 21 points. Sophomore Pete Nance had a dominant performance on the glass, hauling in 12 defensive rebounds and tallied and career-high 14 boards. Boo Buie, Ryan Young and Pat Spencer all contributed double-digit scoring to help lock up the NU win.
Wednesday night marks the first meeting between the two teams this season. The Badgers have won three of the last four matchups. Since Coach Collins took over at Northwestern (2013-14), NU and Wisonsin have had six of the 11 meetings decided by 10-or-fewer points.
STORYLINES
The Opening Tip: NU is one of three Big Ten teams to win multiple games at the Kohl Center since 2015-16. A win on Wednesday would make NU the lone Big Ten Team to beat Wisconsin three times at the Kohl Center during the Greg Gard era.
Last Time Out: Pete Nance hauled in a career-high 14 rebounds and blocked a person-best five shots. He is only the third NU player since at least 2010 to grab 14 rebounds in a Big Ten game (Dererk Pardon and Jared Swopshire).
Miller Time: Miller Kopp ranks third in the Big Ten with 59 made three pointers and fourth in the Big Ten with a 39.9% three point field goal percentage with 2.1 triples made per game.
