No. 16 Wisconsin at No. 7 Purdue: Starting lineups, stats, broadcast information

[ad_1]

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Wisconsin men’s basketball coach Greg Gard sees a lot of similarities between his program and Purdue’s.

“It’s more about understanding who you are and who you are not as a program and continually striving towards that,” he said. “I think that is what’s made us successful. Even though we’ve had some adjustments here and there by and large we’ve stayed true to who we are traditionally and Purdue, from Gene (Keady) to Matt (Painter) has been very similar.

“They understand what makes them good and what can be successful at Purdue but may not work at school X, Y or Z.”

This year No. 16 Wisconsin and No. 7 Purdue had to retool their teams after suffering substantial losses from last season. The changes, however, have not affected the bottom line.

Both teams are near the top of the Big Ten standings heading into their Saturday afternoon showdown at Mackey Arena (noon tip-off). Purdue (19-6, 11-3) trails first-place Michigan by a half game. Wisconsin (19-5, 9-4) is in fourth place.

Here is what you need to know about their matchup.
