How To Watch Indiana vs Wisconsin Basketball

Following its two-game California road trip, the Hoosiers are back in Bloomington to host a crucial matchup against Wisconsin Saturday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

First-year coach Darian DeVries' group split their last two games, defeating UCLA in double-overtime and falling short of a comeback at USC on Tuesday. That has the Hoosiers .500 in conference play and squarely on the NCAA Tournament bubble at No. 33 in the NET rankings.

A win over a Wisconsin team that has won seven of its last eight games would certainly be a resume-booster. The Badgers had a full week off after wins over Minnesota and Ohio State, which followed a home loss to USC on Jan. 25. And while they've dominated the Hoosiers with 21 straight wins at the Kohl Center, the Badgers have lost their last two games at Assembly Hall heading into Saturday's contest.

Here's more information on the game.
