The Wisconsin Badgers have one final regular-season game before the postseason begins. The final game is a doozy as it's against No. 15 Purdue, a team that already beat Wisconsin (at home). The Badgers may also be without Nolan Winter, who's nursing an ankle injury and is listed as day-to-day. The smart play when considering the postseason may be to let him rest.
However, it's a game the Badgers may need to win to get the triple-bye in the Big Ten Tournament. It will take a win from Maryland over Illinois, though, too. Here are all the details you need to know for the game:

Purdue should be fully healthy as they had a clean availability report against Northwestern. Trey Kaufman-Renn did get injured during the Northwestern game but was able to return, and after the game, he simply said his shoulder got out of place and needed to be reset, but he's good to go now.
