Welcome to the Gameday Blog for coverage of tonight's matchup between the Badgers and Cal Poly

I'm courtside at the Kohl Center, set to bring you the action

Brian Mason: 
The Badgers (7-2) come into tonight's game following a win over in-state rival Marquette on Saturday, while Cal Poly (3-5) looks to extend its three-game win streak as the Mustangs play their second game in as many days.
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:44 Brian Mason
7:46
Brian Mason: 
Cal Poly heads into tonight's game fresh (and I mean fresh) off a 73-66 win over Sourth Dakota State last night in Brookins, S.D.
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:46 Brian Mason
7:46
Brian Mason: 
The Mustangs chartered into Madison right after the game and are looking to win a fourth straight game after starting the season 0-5

Brian Mason: 
I'm sitting next to local radio voice Jon Arias, who is filling in as the voice of the Mustangs tonight on Cal Poly's radio broadcast. Badgers fans, of course, can catch the game statewide on the Wisconsin Radio Network, with Matt Lepay and Mike Lucas on the call.

Tonight's game is also airing live on Big Ten Network, with Wayne Larrivee and Shon Morris providing the call

Brian Mason: 
Pretty quite in the Kohl Center as we're about 15 minutes out from tipoff ... the arena has definitely begun to fill up over the past few minutes, though
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:50 Brian Mason
7:51
Brian Mason: 
Senior guard Lorenzo Keeler (13.4 ppg) and sophomore center Will Donahue (11.9 ppg) are the offensive leaders for Cal Poly, which is averaging 71 points per game as a team
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:51 Brian Mason
7:52
Brian Mason: 
Joe Callero is in his first season as head coach at Cal Poly, which was picked to finish ninth in the nine-team Big West Conference
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:52 Brian Mason
7:53
Brian Mason: 
On the Badgers' sidelines, Bo Ryan is coming off his 200th win as head coach at UW and will look for No. 201 tonight
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:53 Brian Mason
7:53
[Comment From Keith JonesKeith Jones: ] 
Tell me about Jordan Taylor. Any chance we will see him as a starter soon? Badger nation has been very happy with how he is playing. Moving pop to the 2 guard could be HUGE for this team
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:53 Keith Jones
7:55
Brian Mason: 
Jordan has provided some quality minutes and is doing a great job at the point ... he ranks second in the Big Ten in assist-to-turnover ratio at +3.3 and had a great game with 13 points against Marquette
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:55 Brian Mason
7:55
Brian Mason: 
As far as a shakeup to the starting five? Don't see that happening at this point.
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:55 Brian Mason
7:56
Brian Mason: 
As has been well-documented, Bo is pretty consistent with his lineups and has said on more than one occasion that he is much more concerned with who produces on the floor than who starts
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:56 Brian Mason
7:56
Brian Mason: 
So he may not crack the starting five, but Jordan is almost certainly going to keep getting his share of minutes
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:56 Brian Mason
7:58
Patrick Herb: 
Did my comment go thru?
Wednesday December 16, 2009 7:58 Patrick Herb

Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:03 Brian Mason
8:05
Patrick Herb: 
Joe Callero... head coach for Cal Poly... is one of 16 children! Wow!
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:05 Patrick Herb
8:05

Alright ... set to get things started! With this later-than-usual 8 p.m. start it seems like a long time coming
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:05 Brian Mason

There aren't even 16 Cal Poly fans here tonight.

Keaton and Donahue for the tip and it belongs to UW

Brian Mason: 
Keaton for 3 from the top of the key and it rims out
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:06 Brian Mason
8:06
Brian Mason: 
Took a couple of spins before getting free of the rim
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:06 Brian Mason
8:07
Brian Mason: 
And Lewis puts Cal Poly on the board first
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:07 Brian Mason

Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:07 Brian Mason

Brian Mason: 
Lewis with a spin and a miss ... rebound to Keaton
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:08 Brian Mason
8:08
Brian Mason: 
That was Shawn Lewis, by the way ... Jordan Lewis is called for Cal Poly's first team foul
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:08 Brian Mason
8:08
Brian Mason: 
Keaton makes it count that time ... a long jumper gives UW the lead at 4-2
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:08 Brian Mason
8:09
Patrick Herb: 
I would love to see Keaton and Leuer have big games together... hasn't happened yet this year. When one is in double-figures, the other isn't it seems.
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:09 Patrick Herb
8:09
Brian Mason: 
Jordan Lewis drives on Leuer and comes up empty ... and then a foul on the rebound attempt ... Leuer will inbound for UW
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:09 Brian Mason
8:09
Brian Mason: 
Leuer posts up on Keeler and drops in a sweet, sweet looking jumper
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:09 Brian Mason
8:10
Patrick Herb: 
When Lewis went to the bench with his 2nd foul, they brought in another 6-5 guy to guard Leuer... he just shot right over him there.
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:10 Patrick Herb
8:10
Brian Mason: 
3-ball off hte mark for Keeler ... rebound to UW
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:10 Brian Mason
8:10
Brian Mason: 
Ball tipped out off Cal Poly as Keaton tried to make a pass from the perimeter ... that's where he's been stationed so far
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:10 Brian Mason
8:11
Brian Mason: 
Trevon splashes a 3-ball ... it's a 9-2 lead for UW (9-0 run) and he's just four points away from 1,000
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:11 Brian Mason
8:11
Brian Mason: 
Miss on the Cal Poly end ... back to the Badgers
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:11 Brian Mason
8:11
Brian Mason: 
UW owns a 3-1 rebounding edge early
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:11 Brian Mason
8:11
Brian Mason: 
Trevon will go to the line to edge closer to the 1,000 mark after a media timeout ... he was fouled by Odister on a drive and will shoot a pair after the break
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:11 Brian Mason
8:12
[Comment From KiwiPetryKiwiPetry: ] 
Will Leuer be able to shoot right over the defender as he did against Marquit?
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:12 KiwiPetry
8:12
Brian Mason: 
It certainly looks that way so far ... he has at least 2 inches on everyone in the Cal Poly starting five ... four of them are 6-5 or under
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:12 Brian Mason
8:12
Patrick Herb: 
UW is 4-for-5 from the field (80%)

Hopefully we don't need to rely on a series of missed extra points by Cal Poly to pull this one out...

Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:14 Brian Mason

Another miss for Cal Poly and then a foul on Hughes as David Hanson went for the board
Wednesday December 16, 2009 8:15 Brian Mason
8:15
Brian Mason: 
Trevon gets in front of a pass and it deflects out off Keeler ... Badgers' ball

Bucky has a big lead tonight, but I will remind you that Cal Poly came back from a 16-point deficit vs. Seattle and a 19-point deficit vs. Pepperdine. Not sure they'll overcome this one though.
