John Blackwell finished with 28 points and Max Klesmit added 18 for the Badgers, who defeated the Trojans, 86-69, Saturday at Galen Center.

Wisconsin has shown a recent ability to win without its top offensive game. The big variable to watch is how the team performs after a significant road trip. If the Badgers shoot well, they shouldn’t have any trouble exiting with a victory. All College Basketball Odds via BetMGM.

Wisconsin and USC are set to tip-off at 3 p.m. ET, 2 p.m. CT on the Big Ten Network. The Badgers are in search of their seventh consecutive victory and fifth-straight in conference play. They may need their top form in order to achieve that result.

The Buckeyes shot a woeful 32.1% from the field in the first half, but hit over half their field goals (51.6%) in the second half, helping them get back into the game.
