Wisconsin takes on a full-strength Nebraska squad for the first time this season as the Badgers begin their Big Ten tournament defense.
Bronson Koenig, then a freshman reserve, was held to one point by Michigan State in his most recent game at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Other than that Big Ten tournament semifinal loss two years ago, however, Koenig has had a knack for coming up big this time of year. Wisconsin's junior point guard has averaged over 17 points and posted a 3.75-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio in his other four conference tournament games.
Koenig was on a shooting spree heading into last weekend's Purdue game, having connected on half of his three-point attempts since February began.
