Northwestern-Wisconsin preview: Can Northwestern's three-point attack beat Wisconsin's defense?

The Wildcats have some good perimeter shooters, but will their shots fall against the Badgers?

Once again, Northwestern (14-3 overall, 2-2 Big Ten) has a chance to prove its legitimacy in a Big Ten home game against a program that has fallen off its perch. Last week, it was against Ohio State and this week, it's against the Wisconsin Badgers (9-8, 1-3).

Just this season, the Badgers have dealt with the stepping-down of legendary head coach Bo Ryan in addition to losing Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker (and Duje Dukan), the leaders of last season’s team that knocked off Kentucky and made the NCAA Finals.
