1. LAST TIME OUT: The Badgers came out with confidence as they battled No. 11 Maryland on Thursday night, but was unable to hang on in the second half falling 75-57.UW trailed by only one point after the first quarter and came out for the second quarter the same confident way to regain the lead (20-19) at the 9:48 mark. Maryland used four 3-pointers and outrebounded the Badgers to grab an eight-point lead at the half (35-27). UW then gave up 11 turnovers in the second half, eight in the third quarter alone, and brought Maryland to the line adding nine points as the Terps pulled away.

2. DEFENSIVE HIGHS: Freshman Jasmine Hale tied her career best with one block while senior Marsha Howard tied her season high with three steals and junior Kendra Van Leeuwen also tied her season best with four steals.

3. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL BALL CONTROL: Sophomore Niya Beverely ranks third in the Big Ten with a 2.3 assist-to-turnover ratio and 14th in total assists (74) while Kendra Van Leeuwen ranks seventh in both assist-to-turnover ratio (1.9) and assists (97).

4. WE'VE GOT HISTORY: Wisconsin leads the all-time series against Michigan, 40-27, dating back to 1976, including a 22-10 advantage at home. But the last time the Badgers beat the Wolverines was in 2015 (63-53) at the Kohl Center. Michigan has won the past four meetings.

5. SCOUTING THE WOLVERINES: Last season, the Wolverines made it to the second round of the NCAA tournament. Most recently, Michigan (13-9, 4-6 BIG) had to postpone their game one day before it upset No.13 Iowa 90-81 in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines were led by 19-point efforts from sophomore Deja Church and junior Akienreh Johnson
