Badgers guards John Blackwell, Chucky Hepburn to play vs. Purdue despite injuries

The Wisconsin Badgers are looking for revenge on Saturday as they face the Purdue Boilermakers for the third time this season, coming off a 70-61 victory over the Northwestern Wildcats in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals.

It was a tough victory for the Badgers on Friday, who mustered through several injuries to secure the win and advance to the semifinals.

Among the injuries was guard Chucky Hepburn, who has been battling a knee injury recently, which proved to be too much to handle on Friday, prompting him to be a late scratch against Northwestern.
