Wisconsin guard Chucky Hepburn and forward Tyler Wahl are listed as questionable for the Badgers’ Big Ten Tournament semifinal matchup with Purdue on Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Purdue guard Braden Smith is listed as a game-time decision after leaving the Boilermakers’ win over Michigan State with a knee injury.
The No. 5-seed Badgers and No. 1-seed Boilermakers meet with a spot in the Big Ten Tournament final on the line. The winner will take on the winner of No. 6 Indiana vs No. 2 Illinois.
Purdue won both matchups against Wisconsin during the regular season including a narrow 78-70 win in West Lafayette on March 10.
Wisconsin will hope to have its stars available when the game tips off at 1 p.m. eastern.
