3 keys to a Badgers win over Northwestern: Can Wisconsin push the pace to their advantage?

The Wisconsin Badgers didn’t have their best game in College Park this past Wednesday as the red-hot Maryland Terrapins beat the Badgers 76-68.

Wisconsin now takes on the Northwestern Wildcats in Evanston in what will be yet another Quad 1 opportunity for both teams.

Here are three keys to a Badgers’ victory over Northwestern on Saturday.

Take care of the basketball

Wisconsin didn’t turn the ball over too many times against Maryland all things being considered, but they were definitely sloppy with the basketball in the first ten minutes of the game.

Northwestern is not a team that you can play sloppy basketball against, considering they force 14 turnovers per game and average the 3rd most steals in the Big Ten.
