MADISON, Wis. — After facing just three days ago, Wisconsin and Penn State will square off again on Tuesday in what will be the second game of back-to-back meetings. The Nittany Lions won the first contest, 81-71, in University Park, Pennsylvania. Tip at the Kohl Center on Tuesday is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT on Big Ten Network.

Wisconsin has won 26 of the last 29 meetings against Penn State. Over the weekend, the Nittany Lions earned their first win over the Badgers since 2011.

THE STARTING FIVE

1) BACK-TO-BACK: Wisconsin and Penn State will meet in back-to-back games (1/30 and 2/2). The last time the Badgers played two straight against one foe was 2009-10, when UW faced Illinois in the final game of the regular season, then again against the Illini in the Big Ten tournament. The last time the Badgers played an opponent back-to-back during the regular season was back in 1983 against Ohio State.

2) LION TAMERS: Wisconsin has won 26 of the last 29 games against Penn State dating back to 2004. UW has won 19 straight home games against the Nittany Lions. PSU's last win in Madison was a 78-67 win at the UW Field House on January 26, 1995.

3) RESUME BUILDING: At the halfway point of the season, the Badgers are building an impressive resume. UW already has 7 wins over teams in the KenPom top 50, the most in the country. UW also has 8 Quad 1 and Quad 2 wins this season according to the NET rankings. Alabama (9) is the nation's only other team with 8+.

4) POTTER MAGIC: Micah Potter has scored in double figures in 14 of 18 games, including a season-high 23 points at Maryland last week. On the season, Potter is averaging 12.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, while shooting a team-high 51 percent from the floor (38.2% from 3-point range).

5) BALANCED BADGERS: Wisconsin has the luxury of different players stepping up on different nights. Six different Badgers have led UW in scoring in a game this season, led by D'Mitrik Trice doing so six times.
