Wed Feb 05 07:50:00 IST 2025: ## Hoosiers Look to Snap Losing Streak Against Dominant Badgers in Big Ten Showdown

**Madison, WI** – Indiana University’s men’s basketball team faces a daunting task tonight as they travel to Madison to take on the No. 21 Wisconsin Badgers. The game, airing on Peacock at 9:00 PM ET, is part of a Big Ten triple-header that also features Purdue vs. Iowa and Michigan State vs. UCLA.

The Hoosiers (14-8) enter the contest on a five-game losing skid after a heartbreaking 81-76 defeat against Purdue on Friday, where they squandered a late lead. “It’s very frustrating,” said Indiana guard Trey Galloway. “We’re right there. We have to finish.”

Their opponent, Wisconsin, presents a significant hurdle. The Badgers boast a 20-game home winning streak against Indiana, dating back to 2000. The last Hoosier victory in Madison came during the 1997-98 season. Wisconsin (currently 15-7) is riding high after a 75-69 win over Northwestern, with guard John Tonje leading the way with 27 points. Tonje, a midseason watch list candidate for the Oscar Robertson Trophy, averages 18.6 points per game, placing him among the Big Ten’s top scorers.

Tonight’s game will be broadcast on Peacock, which is streaming 56 men’s and 26 women’s Big Ten basketball games this season, including the first rounds of both tournaments. The service is available via PeacockTV.com/Sports or the Peacock app, with student discounts available. Pregame coverage begins at 6:30 PM ET. The Hoosiers will be looking to break their losing streak and end Wisconsin’s long reign of dominance at the Kohl Center.
