By The Numbers: Wisconsin Preview

TheHoosier.com has a look at noteworthy facts and figures entering No. 25 Indiana's Saturday tilt against No. 11 Wisconsin.

Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET and it will be televised live on ESPN.

18 - Points per game for James Blackmon in the last five IU contests. This will be his first career game against Wisconsin after missing previous tilts with injuries.

2 - Consecutive games Indiana has won against Wisconsin in Assembly Hall. IU beat the Badgers 59-58 in Bloomington last season and 75-72 in 2014.

96 - All-time wins for IU in the series. The Badgers have earned 70.

7 - National ranking for Wisconsin sophomore Ethan Happ in Kenpom.com's Player of the Year rankings. He's averaging 12.7 points on 67 percent shooting and 9.6 rebounds per game.

340 - Wisconsin's adjusted tempo ranking nationally on Kenpom, projecting 64 possessions in a game against the average-paced opponent. That pace is one of the reasons Happ ranks elite nationally among individuals despite not quite mindblowing per game stats.

13 - The Badgers' rank in adjusted offensive efficiency nationally on Kenpom. They also rank in the top 20 (17th) nationally in defense.

8 - Nationally ranking for Wisconsin in offensive rebounding rate. In what might be their most well-rounded category, they also rank 3rd nationally in defensive rebounding rate.

57.2 - Percentage Wisconsin shoots from twos, which ranks eighth nationally. This is carried in large part by Happ's volume (117 attempts,) plus 51-of-95 (54 percent) makes from Nigel Hayes.

2015 - The last year that Indiana dropped three consecutive games. The Hoosiers fell to Northwestern on Feb. 25, 2015, Iowa on March 3 and Michigan State on March 7.
