Penn State aims to stop skid against No. 11 Wisconsin on Tuesday
After finding some momentum heading into January, the Penn State Nittany Lions have found themselves struggling once again, dropping three of their last four, and the last two. Mike Rhoades and company will look to snap that skid as No. 11 Wisconsin comes to Happy Valley on Tuesday night.
Wisconsin has vaulted to the top of the Big Ten early in the conference slate with a 5-0 mark, while being 13-3 overall on the season. The Badgers have won their last four over Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio State and Northwestern.
