Purdue vs Wisconsin Preview
Purdue and Wisconsin meet with the Big Ten Conference regular season title on the line.
The Wisconsin Badgers beat the Boilermakers 74-69 in their first meeting of the season on Jan. 3, which ended a 13-game winning streak. Wisconsin will need to beat Purdue again on Tuesday and beat Nebraska on Sunday, March 6, to secure the regular season title. If Purdue wins, the Boilermakers will need to close out the regular season with a win against in-state rival Indiana on Sunday.
Wisconsin sophomore guard Johnny Davis leads the team in scoring with 20.5 points per game. Senior guard Brad Davison averages 14.2 points per night, and junior forward Tyler Wahl scores 11.2 points per contest.
Wahl said their team has more to prove than what it’s done with 23 wins and the Maui Invitational title in November 2021. Wisconsin didn’t show up on the preseason rankings, but the Badgers looked poised to make a run similar to that of the Frank Kaminsky days when the team went to the Final Four in 2014.
“We’ve been doubted since the beginning of the year,” Wahl said per Jim Polzin of the Wisconsin State Journal. “We believe in our group and we’ve just been doing it all year.”
Purdue has faced the expectations all season, which started with a No. 7 preseason ranking in The Associated Press preseason poll. The Boilermakers started 8-0 and haven’t lost consecutive games all season.
Purdue sophomore guard Jaden Ivey leads his team with 17.3 points per game. Sophomore center Zach Edey scores 14.8 points per night, and senior guard Sasha Stefanovic averages 11.2 points per contest. Senior forward Trevion Williams provides a big spark off the bench with 11.9 points per game.
The Boilermakers had a three-game winning streak going until Michigan State snapped it on Feb. 26. Purdue fell 68-65 despite 25 points from Edey.
A 7-foot-4 post player and NBA Draft prospect, Edey poses a challenge with his height alone. He notably didn’t start playing basketball until his sophomore year of high school.
“He is an outlier,” Purdue head coach Matt Painter said via WISH TV 8’s Charlie Clifford. “There is nobody else out there like him. There might be some people of that size, but they don’t have the skill that he has in terms of his ability to make shots around the rim.”
Wisconsin has a four-game winning streak going. The Badgers made it four straight with a 66-61 win at Rutgers on Feb. 26. Davis led the way with 19 points.
