The Flyers are limiting opponents to just 34.9% from the field and 26.7% from beyond the arc. Dayton is doing this with a limited rotation as just seven players have suited up in every game.
What you need to know about Wisconsin
The Badgers are coming off a lengthy break since defeating Green Bay 56-45 last Tuesday. Jordan Davis was the only Badger in double-figures with 11 points, but each of the other four starters all scored at least eight points.
The Badgers are also elite defensively, giving up just 51.3 points per game which is the fifth-fewest in the nation. No team defends the perimeter better than Wisconsin as it has allowed a total of five made 3Ps all season across three games.
