Five Things to Know: UW at Washington

AGAINST WASHINGTON

Wisconsin will tip off in Washington for the first time since 1955. The Badgers took their first Big Ten meeting last season in a rout at the Kohl Center, 88-62. John Blackwell notched his first career double-double with a game-high 24 points and 10 rebounds. 

The Huskies (14-14, 6-11 Big Ten) come into Saturday in 12th in the conference, winning two of their last three contests. They split their recent east coast road trip 1-1, falling to Maryland before winning 79-72 at Rutgers on Tuesday. German forward Hannes Steinbach leads the Washington charge, averaging 18 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. He leads the Big Ten with 17 double-doubles, with UW’s own Nolan Winter in second with 12.
