EVANSTON, Ill. – The No. 18 Wildcats will look to maintain their standing in the Big Ten Title race and continue their winning streak as they go on the road to face Wisconsin on Saturday morning. Tip-off is set for 11 a.m. CT on BTN+.

The 'Cats are 23-3 overall this season, 13-2 in conference play, and on a six game winning streak. They have three regular season games left, and are a half game behind the first-place Maryland Terrapins.

Northwestern has won six straight games after dominating Rutgers on Wednesday evening. Junior Lindsey Pulliam led the team to victory with 27 points. Sophomore Veronica Burton trailed close behind with 23 points for double-digits in her fifth straight game, and senior Abbie Wolf contributed 14 points.

The 'Cats have improved to 10 in the latest RPI rankings, according to NCAA.com, while the Badgers rank 136 with a 11-16 overall record.

Northwestern's ball control has been a constant theme throughout the season. Their assist-turnover ratio ranks first in the Big Ten and third in the nation at 1.53. Sydney Wood and Veronica Burton rank first and second in the Big Ten, respectively, in assist to turnover ratio.

Abi Scheid still leads the nation in three-point percentage, Burton ranks sixth in the nation and leads the Big Ten in steals, and Pulliam leads the Big Ten in field goals made and is third in the conference for points per game.
