Wisconsin will look to senior forward Micah Potter to lead them against the Nittany Lions, who scored his second double-double of the season against Minnesota. Despite no longer being the leading scorer, Potter has been a rock for this Wisconsin defense throughout the season and leads the team with 7.3 rebounds a game.
A matchup to watch will be between Penn State guard Izaiah Brockington and Wisconsin’s D’Mitrik Trice. Both have been the leading scorers for their teams this season, and it will be important for Trice to continue his excellent play coming off of the big win against the Golden Gophers to avoid an upset like what happened against Maryland.
The Penn State Nittany Lions(3-4) are not going to be the best competition that the Badgers face this year, but it will be important for Wisconsin to play well early on to avoid a trap game on the road in University Park, Pa.
