Before today's tip-off, BadgerBlitz.com analyzes the potential matchups between the Badgers and Boilermakers to provide a closer look at UW's key Big Ten matchup
Quick Notes:
-Considering Ohio State is cruising with a 9-0 conference record, any more losses would essentially eliminate UW's hopes of clinching at least a share of the Big Ten title. Really, the three losses the Badgers already have might be too much to overcome already. Purdue, however, has two losses so a win would move Wisconsin into second place in the league standings.
-Wisconsin is currently riding a 14-game home winning streak dating back to last season. UW is 11-0 at home this season, winning by an average of 21.1 points per game.
-Keaton Nankivil has topped the 20-point mark twice in his career. Both of those games came against Purdue.
