What Wisconsin needs: More great defense. Indiana shot 60.3 percent against Iowa — and then one night later made just 41.1 percent against the Badgers. Also key: Bronson Koenig staying hot from 3-point land. He is 13-for-23 in his last three games.
What Northwestern needs: Playing their third game in as many days, the Wildcats will need to get strong bench contributions from Isiah Brown and either Gavin Skelly or Nate Taphorn. The Wildcats stunned Wisconsin in Madison one month ago, so they better be prepared for a max effort.
Teddy Greenstein's pick: Wisconsin.
