Wisconsin Badgers and Penn State Nittany Lions head-to-head record
This game is expected to be an intense contest based on the previous five meetings between Penn State and Wisconsin. Although Penn State defeated Wisconsin 87-83 in their most recent matchup on the 17th of January 2024, the Badgers had won four of their previous five meetings, frequently in close games. Wisconsin's ability to persevere through difficult games is demonstrated by their victories, which include a close 79-74 victory in February of 2023 and a grueling 63-60 outcome a month earlier. However, as evidenced by their most recent victory and their close defeat in a 75-74 loss in 2021, Penn State has demonstrated that they are capable of competing with the Badgers. Wisconsin has the advantage because of their superior defense and record this year, but another close game might be in the making if Penn State's shooting performance continues to hold up.
