Northwestern will be operating with the same starting five that it had on Tuesday as it looks to find a marquee road win.

Did you know...

That Chris Collins is 3-1 at the Kohl Center? He’s going for his third straight win in Madison today.

Pardon vs. Happ will be the matchup to watch.

Falzon! And good to see Greer in the game and get fouled on a hard take there. Those are both guys who could give us a huge boost.

I think we have to live with some of those threes and hope they don't go 100 percent for the game. The lazy pass that led to Iverson's dunk ... not so much.

Just a brutal offensive charge call there ...Collins needs to get into the faces of these refs

These refs suck. I know we’re playing at Kohl but this is pathetic. That’s like 5 blatantly bad calls against us.

NU needed to bring its elite 3-point shooting defense, and didn’t. This team can’t win when opponents make 50%+ from deep.

Falzon is the man!
But God forbid Collins actually plays him much. He's clearly our hottest hand right now, but Collins takes him out after both made 3s. Not surprised he wasn't on the court during Wisconsin's last run, when we desperately needed him (and not Taylor, who is ice cold) on the floor.

Really bad first half for Taylor and Turner. And Vic and Pardon weren't so hot either. Can't beat anybody with the starters playing like that.

I'd expect to see a lot less of Taylor and Turner and a lot more of Greer and Falzon. Maybe even a switch in the starting lineup.
