Wisconsin at Penn State, 7 p.m. Friday; 8 p.m. Saturday (ASN)

As of right now, Wisconsin and Penn State look like national tournament teams. They certainly have their status in the Pairwise, with the Badgers ranked 13th heading into the season and the Nittany Lions sitting in ninth. They’re also the two teams with the best chance to catch Minnesota in the Big Ten standings. It would still take a lot for that to happen.
