Patrick Herb: 

Aloha from courtside at the Lahaina Civic Center here in beautiful Maui, Hawaii for tonight's game between Wisconsin and Arizona. We're approaching tip-off here at the rowdy and packed gym.

Patrick Herb: 

Thanks for staying up late... this game should be worth it.

Monday November 23, 2009 10:47 Patrick Herb
10:48
Patrick Herb: 

I'm told we've got a standing room-only crowd today and the tournament officials are expecting this to be the most heavily attended of the day. Those Badgers fans love their school.

Monday November 23, 2009 10:48 Patrick Herb
10:48
Patrick Herb: 

Let me set the scene here for a moment. The Badgers are in the home white while Bo Ryan and the coaching staff are wearing black button down Hawaiian-style shirts (minus the flowery print). Arizona is in the road blue uniforms and their coaches are wearing white polos.

Patrick Herb: 

The gym has air conditioning, but it's still a little muggy in here. Water on the floor is often a problem in this gym.

Monday November 23, 2009 10:48 Patrick Herb
10:49
Patrick Herb: 

The announced capacity in the Lahaina Civic Center is 2,400. That includes 15 rows of bleachers on either side, 10 rows of bleachers behind one basket and six rows of chairs on the floor behind the other hoop. Awfully quaint.

Monday November 23, 2009 10:49 Patrick Herb
10:49
Patrick Herb: 

Speaking of quaint, the area where teams stretch and have pregame is even smaller. Picture a room about 40 by 20 with no lights. Now put a pipe-and-drape down middle with UW on one side and UA on the other side. That means the only keeping the sound "out" is a curtain. Strange.

Monday November 23, 2009 10:49 Patrick Herb
10:49
Patrick Herb: 

The room was so tight that our players were folded over each other when stretching in the room. Comical really.

Of course! Arizona will have a small crowd here, but the Badgers fans are packing one whole side of the gym.

Hey Patrick, thanks for every thing you have been doing on this trip...i've really enjoyed reading the blogs and looking at all the updated photos. Will you be adding more photos? and writing more blogs? It's nice to see what the team is up to :) thanks again!

Thanks Cindy... I'm just trying to bring everybody along and share the fun we're having. I'll definitely keep posting blogs and pictures. I have some from practice at the arena on Sunday, maybe some fire dancers from the banquet and hopefully action from tonight.

On Wisconsin! breaks the lull in the arena as the Badgers storm out of their "locker room" and take the floor. Badgers fans erupt.
Getting close now.

Should be a great Wise and Hughes

Yeah... that's the big ticket match-up. Wise is about 3 inches shorter than Hughes, but he's lightning quick and a Wooden Award watch list candidate.

Monday November 23, 2009 11:10 Patrick Herb
11:10
Patrick Herb: 
Arizona misses a wild shot and Hughes rebounds and runs it up. At the other end, Pop pump fakes and drains a long two from the top. 2-0 UW.
Monday November 23, 2009 11:10 Patrick Herb
11:11
Patrick Herb: 
Always a good sign to get Hughes going early... usually bodes well.
Nankivil picks up a foul on Williams down low and he'll shoot 2.
Misses both!
Monday November 23, 2009 11:11 Patrick Herb
11:11
Patrick Herb: 
Wise hounding Hughes out near midcourt... and he picks up a hand-check foul. He was really up on him and they called it tight.
Monday November 23, 2009 11:11 Patrick Herb
11:12
Patrick Herb: 
Leuer comes up short on a baseline jumper but Keaton grabs a TOUGH offensive board. He can't get the put-back but love the effort.
Monday November 23, 2009 11:12 Patrick Herb
11:12
Patrick Herb: 
Arizona whistled on a moving screen. Wise again! That's two and he's out already with 18:30 left!
Monday November 23, 2009 11:12 Patrick Herb
11:13
Patrick Herb: 
Big turn of events right there.
Leuer at the other from the 15-foot elbow... swish!
Monday November 23, 2009 11:13 Patrick Herb
11:13

Jones in for Wise and he misses a runner. UW rebounds. Leuer misses from the corner and Keaton keeps it alive again. OB to UW.

Jarmusz throws away the in-bounds, but Horne misses a 3 for UA. Keaton boards again.

A 3 from Evans! Wow... that's a huge break for Bucky. He's not known as an outside shooter, but he got a great roll.
Monday November 23, 2009 11:24 Patrick Herb
11:24
Patrick Herb: 
Keaton picks up his second foul but the UW bench loves his effort and hates the call. Bo is standing an applauding Keaton saying "that's what I teach you. good job"
Monday November 23, 2009 11:24 Patrick Herb

Wise was the shooter on the foul and he'll go to the line. He hits one and then get the second waved off on a lane violation.

Hughes short on a 3... maybe should have worked for something else. Ok, AZ misses and UW comes away with it. Bruiser makes a nice dirve, but Berg can't finish.

Patrick Herb: 
Here we go... Leuer, Keaton, Taylor, J-Bo and Hughes on the floor.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:49 Patrick Herb
12:50
Patrick Herb: 
He makes one of two at the FT line and UW is up four. Keaton catches low and scores in the paint. Bucky by 6... let's string a few together boys.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:50 Patrick Herb
12:51
Patrick Herb: 
Hughes leaves his feet and fouls Wise on a 3-pointer... I think. The refs are checking.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:51 Patrick Herb
12:51
Patrick Herb: 
Ouch... not a good foul either way.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:51 Patrick Herb
12:52
Patrick Herb: 
Ok... they change it to a 2-point basket. I missed that... no foul on Hughes, just a deep jumper.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:52 Patrick Herb
12:53
Patrick Herb: 
Lavender misses a 3-pionter and Jon Leuer fouls out when Williams rebounds and takes it right at him. Wow... no Leuer for basically this half.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:53 Patrick Herb
12:54
Patrick Herb: 
Leuer's line: 4 points, 2 boards
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:54 Patrick Herb
12:54
Patrick Herb: 
Williams hits both at the line... he's shot 21 FTs tonight. Wow.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:54 Patrick Herb
12:54
Patrick Herb: 
Cats within two... that's the closest of the night.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:54 Patrick Herb
12:55
Patrick Herb: 
Hughes misses a drive and Keaton can't get the dunk follow up to go down. Tim rebounds an AZ miss.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:55 Patrick Herb
12:55
Patrick Herb: 
Taylor drives for UW and gets fouled hard. He goes to the line and comes up short.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:55 Patrick Herb
12:56
Patrick Herb: 
He missed both... Ugh.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:56 Patrick Herb
12:56
Patrick Herb: 
Zona misses and puts back the rebound... they are exploiting the size advantage at this point.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:56 Patrick Herb

Tie game 45-45 with 8:21 remaining.

Patrick Herb: 
Keaton catches low off the in-bounds and misses another dunk. Dang... love the aggressive take, but he needs to finish those. He knows it.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 12:58 Patrick Herb
12:58
Patrick Herb: 
At the other end... Jones gets called for an offensive foul for the Wildcats. UW ball after the media timeout.

I'm not sure UW could be playing worse right now, and they still have a great shot. Reminds me of the Iona game last year
Tuesday November 24, 2009 1:00 Brian

Patrick Herb: 
Good call... the fouls and the tight play is very much like the Iona game a year ago. Hopefully we'll have the same outcome... a UW win!
Tuesday November 24, 2009 1:00 Patrick Herb

Patrick Herb: 
Both teams shooting around 33%, but the FTs are crazy. UW is 8-15 and AZ is 22-33.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 1:01 Patrick Herb

Patrick Herb: 
Hughes dribbles, slips, recovers and then draws the fourth foul on Fogg. He'll shoot two. Need these.

Boy... UW is cold from all over. Hughes misses the first.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 1:02 Patrick Herb

Arizona has it's first lead of the game at 7:15 now at 47-45 on a two-point bucket.

Patrick Herb: 
Bruiser in the game and he makes a great tip in of a Hughes miss. Whew... needed that.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 1:04 Patrick Herb
1:05
Patrick Herb: 
Tim called for a blocking foul under the hoop as Wise tried to get a lay-up. He'll shoot two. That's Tim's first if you can believe it.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 1:05 Patrick Herb

Wise hits both and Evans comes back in for UW.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 1:05 Patrick Herb

Bruiser thought about redshirting.. he would have HAD to play tonight. Hughes for THREE!
Tuesday November 24, 2009 1:08 Patrick Herb

Wise then beats Pop off the dribble and scores with the left. These two lead guards are really going at it.
Tuesday November 24, 2009 1:09 Patrick Herb

Patrick Herb: 
Hughes drives to the dish and draws a foul on Fogg. That's five on him... and he'll join Leuer on the bench.

If UW makes its free throws I like its chance. But the Badgers have to hit 'em.
