Scouting: Northwestern @ Wisconsin

Northwestern (17-9, 6-8) at Wisconsin (19-7, 9-5)When: 1 p.m. at Kohl CenterTV: BTNRadio: WGN 720-AMThe skinny: The Wildcats are in recovery mode after falling to Penn State at home Wednesday, but Wisconsin has never been a good place for NU to get well. Starting from the day the Wildcats served as the fare for Kohl Center's grand opening on Jan. 17, 1998 (a 56-33 Wisconsin win), they've gone 0-10 at the Kohl with an average defeat of 19.4 points. In fact, they've never gotten closer than 12 points at the Kohl. Not only that, but the Badgers are fuming after Thursday's loss at Minnesota. Not only that, but the Badgers are honoring their 2000 Final Four team today. On the plus side for NU, it hung with Wisconsin until the final four minutes when they met at Welsh-Ryan Arena on Jan. 13. Too many second-chance points and too many late Trevon Hughes 3-pointers sunk the 'Cats.
