Nov. 25, 2009 Maui, Hawaii. -- Join Patrick Herb courtside as he chronicles all the action from today's Maui Invitational third-place game between the Badgers and Maryland with the Gameday Blog.
 MBB: UW vs. Maryland Game-day blog(11/25/2009) 
3:23
Like we never left... we're back for more Badger basketball here at the Lahaina Civic Center in Hawaii. Today Wisconsin will take on Maryland in the third-place game of the EA Sports Maui Invitational.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:23 
3:24
UW isn't playing for the Championship like it hoped, but don't tell them this game isn't important. This would be a great resume game come March as the Terps are ranked No. 21/22 and should have a nice season.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:24 
3:26
Inspired by Tiger Woods' Sunday Red, the Badgers coaching staff (and yours truly) is sporting a red Hawaiian shirt on the final day of the tourney.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:26 
3:28
We're just a few minutes from tip now here in Maui and warm-ups are wrapping up. Let's look over the starters and talk Terp BBall for a minute.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:28 
3:28

The Maryland line-up will look like this:

G - Sean Mosley (So.) - 6-4

G - Eric Hayes (Sr.) - 6-4

G - Greivis Vasquez (Sr.) - 6-6

F - Landon Milbourne (Sr.) - 6-7

F - Jordan Williams (Fr.) - 6-10

Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:28 
3:28

Wisconsin will start the same five it has used all season:

G - Trevon Hughes (Sr.) - 6-0

G - Jason Bohannon (Sr.) - 6-2

F - Tim Jarmusz (Jr.) - 6-6

F - Jon Leuer (Jr.) - 6-10

F - Keaton Nankivil (Jr.) - 6-8

Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:28 
3:28

A few notes about Mayland...

1.) They go as Vasquez goes. The all-america candidate led the Terps in points, rebounds, assists and steals last season. He's a senior and at 6-6 as a guard, he'll be a tough match-up for UW. He's also probably the most vocal player in college hoops. He LOVES to talk smack and mix it up with opponents and fans. UW doesn't normally get into that kind of game, but we'll see today.

Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:28 
3:30

2.) Maryland is defending well this year holding teams to 53.6 points per game and just .345 shooting. First team to 60 tonight wins?

Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:30 
3:30

3.) The Terps aren't as big as Gonzaga was, so the match-ups should be a little better for Bucky. UW got worked in the paint last night, but hopefully will stack up better today.

Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:30 
3:30

4.) These quick turnarounds make scouting really interesting. Assistant Coach Gary Close has been scouting Maryland all week that we've been here, but only had a few hours to put together the scouting report and get it through the players' heads. Same goes for Maryland though... they didn't know they were playing UW until last night either.

Was it really a Tiger Woods inspired idea to wear red?? if so that is sweet

Honestly... it was! Gotta have the killer instinct on the final day of the tournament. If we can channel Tiger today... I like our chances!

Season ticket holder. We need to shoot over 35% of our 3's probably to win. That would have helped last night too.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:31 Ron
3:31
Here, here to both comments. UW shot 1-for-13 from deep in the second vs. Gonzaga... that won't cut it.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:31

Another great UW crowd behind me... they're fired up. Tip is on... and it goes to J-Bo. UW begins.

Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:33

Leuer loses the handle and turns it over to start.
Then Hayes hits a 3-pointer... ugh, not the way we wanted to start.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:33 
3:34
Maryland goes full court press on us... UW handles easily, but misses.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:34

Funny, I went to scholl two years at Maryland and four at U Wisconsin.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:34 Ron
3:34
Mosley gets in the lane and hits a leaner. 5-0 Maryland early.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:34 
3:34
Ball swings to Huhges for thee... no good. Tim rebounds.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:34 
3:35
UW settles for another jumper and misses from Keaton. Maryland capitalizes with a jumphook and Bo Ryan calls timeout. He can't like that 7-0 Mary start.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:35 
3:36
Looks like he's going to bring in Berggren and Bruesewitz here replacing Keaton and Jon. He didn't like what he saw from his bigs I guess.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:36 
3:36
1-2-2 press again as Taylor is in now too as a ball handler.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:36 
3:36
UW breaks the press in 9 seconds and sets up.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:36 
3:37
Taylor finds Hughes for a triple with 3 on the shot clock... big shot that UW needed!. 7-3 Maryland. Ok, settle in boys.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:37 
3:37
Bruiser called for a foul and then Milbourne hits a jumper over him moments later. 9-3.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:37 
3:38
Maryland's 2-3 zone defense is making it tough for UW to get into the post...
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:38 
3:38
just as I type they work it to the freshman Berggren and he scores and draws the foul. That a boy. Three-point play with the made FT and UW trails 9-6.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:38 
3:38
Berg didn't get in last night's game, but already making an impact tonight.

UW draws a foul, but then misses a jumper moments later. Still 9-6, media timeout coming soon.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:40 
3:40
Taylor picks up his first foul (team's 2nd). Mary ball OB.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:40

The Terps miss a jumper and Tim boards. J-Bo coming in next whistle.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:40 
3:40
That whistle comes in the form of a 3-second violation on Jared Berggren. That brings us to the first media TO.

Hughes hits Leuer on the wing for a THREE! We're tied. That's Leuer's first 3 of the season.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:44

Mary misses a shot, but Evans gets called for a push off on the board. Mary retains.

A hip check foul on Hughes... his first.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:45 
3:45
Maryland turns it over back to UW. tied up still at 9 with 14:00 left.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:45 
3:45
UW breaks the press with its ball-fakes... nobody ball fakes like the Badgers.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:45 
3:46
Evans spins in the post and misses, but nobody puts a body on Keaton and he scores the put back. UW's first lead at 11-9
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:46 
3:46
Another Maryland miss and Leuer wrestles away the rebound. UW is playing more aggressive now.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:46 
3:47
Tough left-handed take from Hughes, but he misses the shot. Nice drive, but no dice. Leuer is called for his 1st foul fighting for the board.

Padgett scores low for Mary and snaps the scoreless drought.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:49 
3:50
Taylor's pass is intercepted and leads to a fast-break lay-up from Hayes. Ouch.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:50 
3:50
Leuer can't get the short look on offense and Maryland brings the ball back down the court. Media timeout and Coach Ryan is letting Taylor hear about that last pass.

Berggren's okay. It was actually a stinger Monday night. He could have played last night, but Coach didn't like the match-up apparently.

That, H.S. like gym, seems like it would be a good backdrop for a jump shooter too.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:52 Kiwi Petry
3:53
Yeah, I haven't heard the guys complain about it at all. UW is shooting 42.9% and Maryland is shooting 60% so far today.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:53 
3:53
Terps ball...
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:53 
3:54
Tucker misses for MU and Evans ties up Choi on the rebound. Ball stays with Mary.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:54 
3:54
Choi misses badly on a three late in the shot clock. UW controls and brings it down.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:54

That's what Evans can bring. If Coach can live with his mistakes, he can make a great play from time to time.

Is it an ESPN type highlight?
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:55 Caleb

I would say so... he took his man baseline and flushes a dunk in traffic. It makes my top 10 plays of UW's season so far.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:56 
3:56
Mosley misses wildly, but UW turns it back over. Five early turnovers for UW so far. Not Badger ball.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:56 
3:56
Keaton picks up a foul and the refs call it on the shot... Bo Ryan let's just say... disagrees. :)
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:56 
3:57
Bowle hits one of two FTs and Mary sets up the press. UW breaks easily.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:57 
3:57
Hughes gets called for a travel at the other end. UW turned it over just 8.5 times in the first two games, but is loose with the ball today.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 3:57 
3:58
Vasquez scores to make it 18-16, but Hughes rains a THREE!
Wisconsin up 5 at 21-16 with 8:03 left.

Vasquez hits another jumper... let's not get him going.

Hughes penetrates the zone and draws a foul on Milbourne. That's the 3rd Maryland team foul. UW will have the ball under the hoop after this timeout.

Coach Ryan is spending the first part of this timeout explaining to the ref that there is no way the Maryland player was in the act of shooting last foul. He contests that there is no way the ref could have known he was trying to shoot. Back to the huddle.

Hughes has 6 and Leuer has 5 points for UW.
Hayes leads Mary with 5 points.

Two fouls on Leuer is the only trouble for UW... nobody in trouble for Mary.

Bruiser makes a great play on defense... riding his man to the rim, then stuffing Hayes. He then grabbed the loose ball and threw it off Hayes OB to Wisconsin. That kid is savvy for a freshman. I like it.

The story so far seems to be 3-point shooting. Points in the paint stat is good to see. Only 2 FTs at the half so if cool off have to put more pressure on them but maybe that is why Bo is upset with the refs.

Why do you suppose that since Bo has been here, we are pretty much a top 20 team for 10 years and never seem to have a top 40 recruiting class.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 4:34 Jeff
4:35
I think he recruits kids that he knows he can coach and that fit his system. Sometimes that means taking a certain type of kid that isn't nationally touted. I don't put a lot of stake in high school "rankings" anyway.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 4:35

Take a kid like Leuer... he's going to be a really good player by the time he's done at UW and he wasn't heavily recruited at all. But he fits the program and can excel here.

I like "Buster" for Keaton actually; makes me think of Natalie Portman in the movie Closer....

Mosley gets Taylor to slip and steps back for a jumper. Good.
60-53 now.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:09

Hughes slices the defense and impossibly finds Taylor open cross court for a THREE! Great drive, great shot.

Williams no good for MU and Leuer secures his 5th board. UW crowd loves it.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:10 
5:11
Leuer with a sweet spin and righty jump hook off the glass for a duece. There is a little something else to add to the repetoire. Impossible to guard that. Mary calls a 30 second as the lead has grown to 65-53 with 5:45 left.

This equals UW's largest lead of the day at 12.

What are they shooting?

Mary is shooting 48%, UW is 51%
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:11

Hayes scores off a curl and Williams calls another timeout for Maryland. Strange that he called that.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:12

Two timeouts in a row there and Mary only has one left for the final 5:38.

Hughes breaks the press with a deep catch... he can't get the transition lay-up, but Leuer follows it up and gets hacked. He'll shoot two and UW is in the double bonus.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:13 
5:13
Leuer is pure on the first.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:13 
5:14
Team fouls are 10 for MU and 5 for UW this half.
Leuer bounces home the second one. Bucky by 12 again.

Vasquez finds Hayes and J-Bo tips the 3-point try.
Bo in my way again. Grrr.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:14 
5:15
Mosley picks up his fourth foul grabbing the cutting J-Bo. Maryland fans are barking about the foul difference. It was opposite in the first half, so I guess it all evens out huh?
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:15 
5:15
J-Bo hits both FTs and UW's lead climbs to 69-55.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:15 
5:16
Vasquez loses Hughes off a screen and he hits a three from the wing. Williams calls his final timeout as the ball goes through the net. I guess he thinks he needs to make his run right now.

Ok... let's see what Bucky and the Terp draw up out of the timeout.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:17 
5:18
Full court press here, trapping on the sides.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:18 
5:18
Hughes's pass is deflected, but it gets through and UW breaks it. Hughes gets blocked low but Keaton boards and gets tied up. Mary ball.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:18 
5:19
Vasquez hits another three from the top and Mary is creeping back into this.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:19

Vasquez has 14 points.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:19

Leuer attacks and scores in the lane.YES!
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:19

Mary misses and Keaton boards. Taylor and Hughes walk it up together.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:19 
5:20
Bo wants the arm-bar hand-check called, but refs say no.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:20

Hughes drives off a high screen and scores! Bo fist pumps on the bench!
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:20

Williams tips in a Mary miss and the press is on again.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:20 
5:21
J-Bo breaks it but throws it away after driving and trying to kick it out. Mary runs it up and gets fouled by Hughes. That's still only 6 team fouls for UW. Hughes has three.
Free throws for Mary coming up after the final media timeout.

Bucky has three in double figures (Hughes 14, J-Bo 16 and Leuer 16). Mary has four in double figures.

[Comment From Windy City RyanWindy City Ryan: ] 
UW needs to make sure they are setting screens for J-Bo on the inbounds vs. the press. Keep the ball in his hands and knock down some FT's.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:23 Windy City Ryan
5:24
Vasquez hits both FTs and cuts it to 8.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:24 
5:24
Taylor breaks the press and Hayes fouls him quickly. They want to test the sophomore. He's 11-of-24 at the line this year, so the scouting report says to foul him.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:24

He hits the first... take that!
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:25

Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:26

J-Bo heads to the line looking to give UW some more breathing room.
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:26

Lead back to nine as J-Bo hits both
Wednesday November 25, 2009 5:27
