Brian Mason: 
The Badgers enter this game coming off a 75-46 win over IPFW on Sunday, while the Golden Grizzlies are 0-1 after a 81-77 loss to Eastern Michigan
Wednesday November 18, 2009 6:47 Brian Mason

Brian Mason: 
Should be an entertaining game ... Oakland is picked to win The Summit League and returns the bulk of the talent that got the Grizzlies to the conference tournament final last season

[Comment From JayJay: ] 
BM, Any guess on what pace this game may be played at? It appears Bucky is a bit more uptemp this year, but Bo quickly dismissed that at the weekly presser.
Wednesday November 18, 2009 6:58 Jay
6:59
Brian Mason: 
We'll see, but Oakland is an athletic group and will likely push the pace a little bit ... they scored 97 in their exhibition game and then 77 in their loss to Eastern Michigan

[Comment From Ctanley with a "C"Ctanley with a "C": ] 
good crowd on hand tonight at KC? There were a lot of empty seats on Sunday, maybe due to the Packer game?
Wednesday November 18, 2009 7:03 Ctanley with a "C"
7:03
Brian Mason: 
Still some empty seats, but we're just underway. The Packers game -- and IPFW as the opponent -- certainly had something to do with the low turnout on Sunday.

Definitely. He looks stronger than he did at the close of last season and has a pretty evident confidence about his play now
Wednesday November 18, 2009 7:09 Brian Mason

7:19
Brian Mason: 
Not really. Their starting lineup reads 6-5, 6-9, 6-11, 6-2 and 5-11

Nope. Rob didn't see any minutes in the first half. Evans was the big contributor off the bench with 13 minutes, while Taylor played 9

Is Oakland playing in-your-face agressive defense? Seems as though we have a lot of turnovers and they have a lot of fouls.
Wednesday November 18, 2009 7:59 Rick
8:00
Brian Mason: 
They are quick to fill up space defensively and have been pretty aggressive ... really though, the majority of their fouls have come after Hughes or Taylor (or whoever) made drive and forced the contact
Wednesday November 18, 2009 8:00 Brian Mason

It's been a help for UW, as the Badgers are 9-for-11 from the free-throw line

I'm surprised to see Wilson without any minutes. Anything happen in practice or an injury that's keeping him out?
Wednesday November 18, 2009 8:00 bdgrfn

Nothing we're aware of. Bo has gone eight guys deep to this point, with Evans and Taylor primarily carrying the load off the bench
