With eight wins in their last ten games overall, Wisconsin has climbed to fourth in the Big Ten and to within two games of the conference-leading Michigan Wolverines.
The Boilermakers are looking to rebound from a hard-fought, 75-73 two-point loss at Michigan on Tuesday night. The loss dropped the Boilermakers to second in the conference behind Michigan. Purdue is 8-2 in their last ten games.
