(Learfield Sports)Iowa will be in search of a rare victory over Wisconsin tonight (Monday night), in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Badgers have won eight of the last 10 in the series, including four of five in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes lead the Big Ten in scoring at just over 80 points per game and coach Fran McCaffery credits his players attention to the game plan.

The Hawkeyes are nationally ranked despite season ending injuries to a pair of starters and McCaffery says it has become one of the most enjoyable teams he has coached. McCaffery says junior center Luka Garza’s impact on the team goes beyond his 23 points and 10 rebounds per game.  Listen for the pre-game on KJAN at 6:30-p.m., with the tip-off at 7:30.
