KEY GAME INFORMATION
WISCONSIN: Last season: 15-18, missed NCAA Tournament for first time in 19 years.
Nickname: Badgers.
Coach: Greg Gard.
Conference: Big Ten.
Who's gone: Reserve forwards Aaron Moesch and Andy Van Vliet (transferred to William & Mary).
Who's back: The Badgers get 95 percent of their scoring back from last season, led by senior forward Ethan Happ. The 6-foot-10 Happ (17.9 points per game, 8.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists) has been working on foul shooting and developing a mid-range jumper. Three important pieces in the backcourt are back from injuries, starting with guard Brad Davison. He emerged as an emotional leader during a freshman season in which he was hampered by a shoulder injury. D'Mitrik Trice (foot) and Kobe King (knee) give Gard depth and options at the perimeter. Getting guard Brevin Pritzl to hit consistently from 3-point range might make foes think twice about doubling Happ. Six-5 senior Khalil Iverson is the team's best athlete and embraces opportunities to guard an opponent's best scorer. Six-11 sophomore forward Nate Reuvers can hit jumpers but Badgers can get a boost if he can help Happ and Iverson on the boards.
Who's new: Trevor Anderson gives Gard another backcourt option after transferring from Wisconsin-Green Bay, where he averaged 9.8 points and 28 minutes in 20 games. He shot 37 percent from 3-point range. The Badgers added two scholarship players in their freshman class: guard Tai Strickland, who is the son of former NBA player Rod Strickland; and 6-8 forward Taylor Currie from Clarkston, Michigan.
The Skinny: With Happ leading the way, the Badgers have the ingredients of a team that should return to the NCAA Tournament. Happ, along with key upperclassmen Iverson and Pritzl, played on tourney teams that included Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig. The backcourt should be stronger with a healthy Davison, Trice and King. The Badgers won five of their last eight games last season because of better defense. They're stressing defense again going into this season.
Expectations: Wisconsin was a long shot to win the NCAA Tournament at 120-1, according to Las Vegas oddsmakers. It's on par with other Big Ten teams Maryland and Penn State. Michigan and Michigan State are the top favorites out of the league at 35-1.
NORTHWESTERN: Last season: 15-17
Nickname: Wildcats
Coach: Chris Collins
Conference: Big Ten
Who's gone: Point guard Bryant McIntosh, guard Scottie Lindsey, forward Gavin Skelly.
Who's back: Forward Vic Law, the top returning scorer at 12.0 points per game last season, said he feels 100 percent for the first time after battling injuries throughout his career. With McIntosh gone, the offense figures to run more through center Dererk Pardon. He averaged 11.3 points and 7.1 rebounds last season. Senior Jordan Ash and freshman Ryan Greer figure to get a look at point guard.
Who's new: Graduate transfer guard Ryan Taylor led the Missouri Valley in scoring last season at 21.3 points per game for Evansville. Greer bypassed his senior year of high school. He spent his junior season at Northfield Mount Hermon in Massachusetts after attending The Lovett School in Atlanta the previous two years.
The Skinny: The Wildcats are back on campus in a renovated Welsh-Ryan Arena after playing home games last season about 15 miles away at Allstate Arena in Rosemont. Don't underestimate that. Northwestern is banking on a return home to a sparkling arena to help restore the buzz that fizzled last season coming off the program's first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
Expectations: Las Vegas oddsmakers have Northwestern as a 350-1 shot to win the NCAA Tournament.
PREVIEW
Wisconsin, Northwestern square off headed in opposite directions
 

No. 22 Wisconsin will look to secure a winning regular-season record in Big Ten play when it visits Northwestern on Saturday night in Evanston, Ill.

Wisconsin (18-8, 10-5) has dropped two of its past three contests but remains securely in the top half of the conference standings. The Badgers are coming off a six-point win at home against Illinois on Monday.

"I think we like where we are, but we're definitely not satisfied," Badgers guard Brad Davison said recently to the Wisconsin State Journal. "We know our record could be better. We've lost a couple games (that were close), against really good teams. But we know how good of a team we are, we're confident with that. ... The bulk of our schedule is coming up, and we'll have to be locked in and ready to go."

Davison is one of three players with a double-digit scoring average for Wisconsin. Ethan Happ leads the Badgers with 17.9 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. D'Mitrik Trice is averaging 12.5 points per contest while shooting 43.4 percent from beyond the arc, and Davison is next on the scoring list with 11.3 points per game.

Stopping the trio could be difficult, but defense has not been the issue as of late for Northwestern (12-14, 3-12). The Wildcats have allowed fewer than 65 points in four of their past five games but have struggled on offense.

Northwestern carries a seven-game losing streak into Saturday's game, including a 63-49 loss to Ohio State in its last outing Wednesday night. Vic Law, who had 10 points, was the only Wildcats player to score in double figures.

During the seven-game skid, the Wildcats have scored in the 40s or 50s all but once. The lone exception was an 80-79 loss to then-No. 20 Iowa on Feb. 10. A late 3-pointer by Iowa's Jordan Bohannon sealed the Hawkeyes' comeback and left the Wildcats once again wondering how this season has veered so far off track.

Northwestern coach Chris Collins is desperate to find a way to stop his team's skid.

"I love that our guys still have good attitudes," Collins said to The Daily Northwestern. "They're fighting and they're playing their tails off defensively. We've just got to hope that one of these games, we can break through a little bit offensively, see the ball go in and find a way to win."

Law leads Northwestern with 15.2 points per game to go along with averages of 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists. Dererk Pardon is averaging 13.4 points and a team-high 7.8 boards, while Ryan Taylor is averaging 10.8 points.

This is the second and final meeting of the regular season between Wisconsin and Northwestern. In the teams' first meeting Jan. 26, the Badgers cruised to a 62-46 win behind 18 points apiece from Davison and Trice.

Northwestern is 9-5 at home this season but has not celebrated on its home court since Jan. 22 against Indiana. Wisconsin is 6-4 on the road, including victories in three of its last four games in opponents' venues.
