THE STARTING FIVE

1) B1G GAUNTLET: Sunday's game will mark UW's 17th game against Quad 1 or Quad 2 competition, going 8-8 in such games so far. No team has played more Quad 1/2 games than Wisconsin.

2) DOUBLE-DIGIT DUBS: Wisconsin is looking for Big Ten win number 10, which would give it double-digit wins for the 18th time in the last 20 years. No other Big Ten team can make that claim. 

3) POLL POSITION: Wisconsin is ranked 15th by KenPom.com, ranked 16th in Sagarin, ranked 20th in ESPN's BPI and ranked 22nd in the NET Rankings.

4) BALANCED BADGERS: Wisconsin has the luxury of different players stepping up on different nights. The Badgers recently had a stretch where a different player led the team in scoring in 7 straight games. A total of 9 different Badgers have scored in double figures in a game this season. UW is 9-1 when 4+ players score double digits.

5) D-FENSE! D-FENSE! The Badgers lead the Big Ten allowing only 63.2 ppg this season and rank 4th in FG% defense (41.2%). Wisconsin's defense is 9th in the NCAA in Ken Pomeroy's Adjusted Defensive Efficiency.
