Wisconsin Badgers
Last time out, Wisconsin hosted the Northwestern Wildcats and lost a heart breaking 54-52 affair. The Wildcats were the better team for most of this game, but the Badgers always keep themselves in the game and had a chance to win. Leading by one with 45 seconds to go, but Wildcats scored four of the final five points to get the big road win. Wisconsin trailed by as many as eight points, never led by more than three, and lost outright as -3.5-point favorite.
Chucky Hepburn had 17 points, two rebounds, two assists, and two steals on the day. Connor Essegian added 15 points, four rebounds, and one assist in the defeat.
Through 22 games, Wisconsin is scoring 64.5 points per game, shooting 41.7% from the field, and assisting on 11.9 made shots. The Badgers are allowing 62.7 points, grabbing 30.8 rebounds, blocking 1.5 shots, and stealing the ball 6.7 times.
Penn State Nittany Lions
Penn State visited the Nebraska Cornhuskers and suffered a poor 72-63 defeat. The Cornhuskers used a five-minute Nittany Lions scoring drought to build a big first half lead and they led by nine-points at halftime. It was much of the same in the second half as the Nittany Lions could never quite get back into the game. Penn State trailed by 15 points, never led in the game, and lost outright as five-point road favorites.
Seth Lundy had 24 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks in the game. Jalen Pickett added 15 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists in the loss.
After 23 games, Penn State is scoring 72.5 points per game, shooting 46.0% from the field, and assisting on 14.7 made shots. The Nittany Lions are allowing 67.4 points, grabbing 32.6 rebounds, blocking 2.3 shots, and stealing the ball 5.0 times.
