Wisconsin sits tied atop a bunched-up Big Ten West with just four weeks remaining in the regular season.
The final stretch begins this Saturday with a trip to Bloomington, Indiana for a matchup against the 2-6 Indiana Hoosiers. A win on Saturday is crucial for the Badgers’ chances in the West, as the team can’t afford to drop another game with three West contests set to conclude the season.

The first of those final three division contests is everyone’s favorite matchup of the year: an afternoon contest against Northwestern.

The Wildcats are a surprising 4-4 on the season and 2-3 in Big Ten play. All the numbers say the Badgers should have no trouble, but we know how these games usually go.
