Updated Mar. 4, 2020 7:36 p.m. ET

Here are some notes, tidbits and stats heading for Saturday's game between the Wisconsin Badgers and Hawaii Rainbow Warriors:

-- This is the seventh meeting between Wisconsin and Hawaii with the Badgers leading the all-time series 5-1. The teams haven't met since 2009 and have played just once previously in Madison, in 1987. Hawaii's only win came in 1986.

-- Wisconsin has won 34 consecutive non-conference home games and overall is 70-7 at Camp Randall Stadium since the beginning of the 2004 season. A win against Hawaii would tie Nebraska (1992-2004) for the seventh-longest streak in NCAA history.

-- Hawaii has lost 11 of its last 12 road games vs. teams ranked in the AP top 25. The lone win was at Fresno State on Oct. 4, 2008.
