The Ducks will try to keep their up-tempo style going while the Badgers will look to slow them down tonight.
"We have to face a team that gets it up and down. They can score in half court, they can score in full court," Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said Friday, according to ESPN. "They put a lot of pressure on you."
The Badgers are expected to have plenty of fans in attendance when the game tips off tonight since it takes place in Milwaukee, however Ducks sophomore Elgin Cook, the 2010 Conference Player of the Year, hails from Milwaukee.
Cook scored 23 points in 23 minutes in the Ducks victory over BYU with friends and family in attendance, and he'll look to remain productive tonight.
"When you've still got your friends and family in the crowd, you're still going to play inspired basketball when you're in your hometown," guard Johnathan Loyd, who leads the team by averaging 4.7 assists per game, said via ESPN.
Cook is trying to put the distraction of being at home to the side to help his team succeed.
"I'm just trying to mold my game around that and become the best player I can become," he said per ESPN.
Joseph Young leads Oregon in scoring with 18.6 points per game while Frank Kaminsky paces the Badgers in points (13.6) and rebounds (6.4).
