No. 7 Purdue eyes Big Ten perch, set to battle No. 16 Wisconsin

While No. 7 Purdue finds itself just below the Big Ten Conference's top spot, 16th-ranked Wisconsin is seeking an opportunity to challenge for the league title. The two collide on Saturday when the Badgers visit the Boilermakers in West Lafayette, Ind., for a matchup that could help determine seeding for next month's conference tournament as well as the NCAA Tournament. The Boilermakers (19-6, 11-3 Big Ten) fell out of first place Tuesday night with a 75-73 loss at new leader Michigan, while Wisconsin (19-5, 9-4) owns sole possession of fourth after its 74-63 victory at Iowa on Feb. 8.
