Wisconsin's last 15 wins have all been by a double-digit margin. The last single-digit win was against Utah State on Sept. 15, 2012.

Wisconsin is looking to win seven straight games for the first time since the Badgers won seven in a row to finish off the 2010 regular season.
This season Wisconsin is: 7-0 when scoring first, 2-2 when an opponent scores first, 8-0 when leading after the first quarter, 1-2 when trailing after the first quarter, 9-1 when leading at the half, 0-1 when trailing at the half, 9-1 when leading after three quarters and 0-1 when trailing after three quarters.
