Indiana vs Wisconsin Preview
The Hoosiers enter Big Ten play with an 8-0 record. On Tuesday, they passed their biggest test of the season, besting the No. 17 Florida State Seminoles 80-64 at home.
Indiana overcame 18 turnovers by shooting 25-of-45 (55.6%) from the field and 7-of-15 (46.7%) from 3-point range.
“You want to see what you’re made of, and I thought our guys rose to the occasion,” Hoosiers head coach Archie Miller said, according to the Indiana Daily Student.
Senior guard Devonte Green came off the bench to set a new career high with 30 points, going 10-of-15 from the floor and adding 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and a pair of steals.
Freshman big man Trayce Jackson-Davis dropped 15 to go with 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, both game highs.
“A lot of people have been saying we have been facing littler teams, how are they going to do against the big dogs,” Jackson-Davis said, per the Indiana Daily Student. “Well, you witnessed it, so I would just say that we just got to play hard and just do our thing.”
The Hoosiers have fallen to the Badgers in 16 consecutive visits to the Kohl Center. They’ve bested Wisconsin at the arena just once, in their first game there on Jan. 25, 1998.
“Wisconsin is a tournament team,” Miller said this week, per the Indiana Daily Student. “They have some veteran guys back. I think as the course of the season evolves, they played a difficult schedule. They will be battle tested and very difficult to deal within Madison like they always have been.”
He added: “There’s a lot that goes into this one, that makes it a very, very serious approach. Hopefully our team, as long as we stay grounded and we stay coachable and we keep working at the little things to keep getting better; that we put ourselves in a situation that we’re ready to play.”
The Badgers have dropped three straight, falling to 4-4 on the season. On Wednesday, they lost to the North Carolina State Wolfpack 69-54 on the road.
Wisconsin went 21-of-56 (37.5%) from the field, shooting below 40% for a third straight game. The Badgers entered the matchup shooting 81.1% from the free-throw line — the fifth-best mark in Division I — but went just 7-of-15 (46.7%) from the stripe.
“Even tonight at the free-throw line … it’s rare for us to not put the ball in the basket there,” Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard said, according to The Associated Press. “We forced some tough jump shots that they made.”
