How to watch, stream & listen to Wisconsin Badgers basketball at Nebraska Cornhuskers

MADISON, Wis. - The University of Wisconsin is ready to take another crack at winning on the road.

After generating momentum at home with a Big Ten win and a victory over in-state rival Marquette, Wisconsin will play in one of the toughest venues in the conference against one of the hottest teams in the country in No.23 Nebraska tonight at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln.

The Badgers (7-2) are 1-2 away from the Kohl Center this season and technically have yet to play a true road game, as playing No.9 BYU in Salt Lake City was deemed a neutral site. Regardless, the Badgers went 6-4 in league road games last season and have some momentum, thanks largely to junior guard John Blackwell.

The Big Ten Player of the Week, Blackwell ranks third in the Big Ten Conference in scoring (21.0 ppg) and has scored 86 points over the last three games.

Next stop, Nebraska
