Last Tuesday, the Badgers didn't have too much breathing room in their match against the Terrapins, but they still walked away with a 74-70 win.

Wisconsin got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Tyler Wahl out in front who scored 18 points along with six rebounds. Max Klesmit was another key contributor, scoring 16 points.

Meanwhile, Indiana's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Saturday after their fourth straight loss. They fell 83-74 to the Nittany Lions. Indiana has not had much luck with the Nittany Lions recently, as the team's come up short the last three times they've met.

Indiana's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Malik Reneau, who scored 27 points along with six rebounds, and Kel'el Ware who scored 16 points along with eight rebounds and two blocks. Reneau is trending in the right direction, as he's improved his point production for three games straight.

The Badgers' victory bumped their record up to 18-9. As for the Hoosiers, they have been struggling recently as they've lost five of their last six games, which put a noticeable dent in their 14-13 record this season.

Wisconsin beat the Hoosiers 91-79 in their previous matchup back in January. The rematch might be a little tougher for Wisconsin since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
