Wisconsin played just one game in week 10 and it was a tough home loss in overtime to Purdue by the score of 84-80. Ethan Happ recorded yet another double double in the victory, but his 31 points and 13 rebounds wasn’t enough for the Badgers to get a much-needed win in conference play.

The Badgers have sputtered a bit in the Big Ten after going 2-0 to start off conference play.

Nebraska continued to look shaky after a rough start to Big Ten play after a scare against Penn State winning by only 6 points. Perhaps it was because of the fact that James Palmer Jr., one of the top scorers in the conference, registered only 11 points in the win.

Whatever the case, the Cornhuskers need to fix their problems if they want to stay afloat in the conference going forward.
