The Wisconsin Badgers continue their Pennsylvania swing when they step out of conference for a battle in Philadelphia against the Temple Owls on Wednesday night. The Badgers earned a much-need win on Monday in their second Big Ten game against Penn State and will look to keep that momentum going before heading back home for a few non-conference tilts. The Badgers have played a tough non-conference schedule, losing to Xavier, Baylor, UCLA and Virginia before also falling to Ohio State in their conference opener, but Khalil Iverson scored 16 points against Penn State to help Wisconsin end a tough stretch. Temple has dropped two of its last three, including a 71-67 defeat at George Washington on Sunday on the heels of a big win against South Carolina.

Ethan Happ, who leads the Badgers at 15.4 points per game, shot a dismal 3-of-12 against Penn State and is 5-of-18 over the last two games. Happ had three double-doubles in the first four games, but none in the last five. Nate Reuvers has helped, scoring 21 points in the last two games after going scoreless on 0-of-10 shooting in his first two collegiate outings. Brad Davison, another freshman, went scoreless against Penn State but still is averaging 10.2 points – second on the team.

Quinton Rose scored 20 points and Shizz Alston added 18 against George Washington, combining to make six 3-pointers, but the rest of the team was 2-of-14 from three-point land. Point guard Josh Brown, who fouled out with three points against the Colonials, is 4-of-16 from the field over the last two games and has shot below 40 percent in five of the six games this season. Obi Enechionyia had scored in double-digits in every game before going for nine (on 1-of-6 from 3-point) the last time out for Temple, which is actually playing its home opener on Wednesday.
WARRIORS VS HORNETS PREDICTION
This Wisconsin team has a lot of work to do if they want to make the NCAA Tournament in March. Happ can’t carry them alone. Temple will be up for their home opener here and take down the Badgers.
