NC State comes into Madison with a perfect 6-0 record, however to say they have taken it easy in their early season schedule would be putting gin mildly. This team has played the EASIEST schedule in Division 1 college basketball thus far.

They have played all 6 games at home and their opponents have been Mount St Mary's, Maryland Eastern Shore, UNC Ashville, Maine, St Peter's, and Mercer.

Wisconsin will be much more prepared for this caliber of opponent. They have already beaten Xavier (on the road), Oklahoma (neutral site), Stanford (neutral site) with their lone loss coming by 7 points at the hands of #3 Virginia on a neutral court.

Offensively the Badgers have shot the ball very well from deep and have 5 returning starters with top 10 D playing after their first loss of the season to a VERY GOOD Virginia team.
