The Badgers are led by projected player of the year Johnny Davis, who is averaging 20.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Purdue and Illinois still have a shot to steal the Big Ten regular season title but Wisconsin would have to lose to the Boilermakers on Tuesday. Keegan Murray has also continued his breakout sophomore season, scoring a Big Ten-best 23.2 points as Iowa has won three games in a row. Ohio State and Michigan State picked up much-needed wins against ranked opponents this week but suffered losses on the road as well.
