Coach Greg Gard’s Wisconsin Badgers will be trying to protect the ball again in Friday’s Big Ten Conference home game against Purdue. Wisconsin is second in the nation for its low turnover percentage. Purdue comes into the game at the Kohl Center with a 9-6 record, having won two of its four conference games. Guard Carson Edwards is averaging 24-and-a-half points-a-game. He’s scored at least 30 in five games and exploded for 40 in a December 9th outing against the Texas Longhorns.
