The No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers (17-4 overall, 8-3 Big Ten) men’s basketball team is back in action at the Kohl Center on Saturday night, taking on the visiting Penn State Nittany Lions (9-9 overall, 4-6 Big Ten). Wisconsin returns home after a tough loss at No. 18 Illinois on Wednesday which gave the Illini possession of first place in the conference.
PSU had lost three in a row until a wild, double overtime victory against Iowa on Monday got them back on the winning path. The Lions had three players record over 40 minutes of action in that game, so they probably appreciated the lengthy time off between games.
