Hello Badger fans and welcome to the Kohl Center! We've got a big game about to start here featuring Wisconsin and No. 6 Duke as part of this year's Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

The student section is completely full right now and fans are still filing in as we have just over 20 minutes until tip-off. I'll be here throughout the game to answer any questions and give you play-by-play coverage as best as I can.

I have some big shoes to fill tonight as the normal men's basketball blogger for home games, Brian Mason, is en route to Hawaii with the football team. I know he is sad he couldn't be here for the game tonight but I'm sure he will be happy to be in Hawaii once he gets off the plane!

[Comment From Keith JonesKeith Jones: ] 
Tell me about Jordan Taylor? Like what you have seen from him this year?
Wednesday December 2, 2009 7:55 Keith Jones
7:56
Since this is my first game blogging, I have to be honest and say most of the things I've seen of Jordan Taylor have been on TV this year. He appeared to have a great tournament in Maui and seems to have progressed from his freshman year. He's currently averaging 6.6 points a game off the bench and had a career-high 19 points against Gonzaga.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 7:56 
7:58
I expect the Kohl Center to get loud tonight. The student section was filling up an hour before the game and like I said before, is completely full. Unfortunately there's some Duke blue in there but I also see Santa Clause a green hippo and some other creatures. If you're watching ESPN, I'm sure you will see the student section quite a few times tonight.

The Big Ten/ACC Challenge has been away from the Kohl Center for quite some time. This is the first time in three years that the Badgers will host a game in the challenge. Wisconsin has won its last three games against ACC foes, beating Virginia Tech in last year's challenge, Floriday State in the 2009 NCAA Tournament and most recently, defeating Maryland out in Maui.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:04 
8:07
As usual, Duke is out to a great start at 6-0 and ranked No. 6 in the AP poll, No. 5 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' Poll.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:07

And here comes Duke ...along with some boos from the student section.

If you're watching ESPN and the Illinois game is still on we'll do our best to keep you in the loop with the Wisconsin/Duke game.

Duke wins the tip.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:21 
8:21
And turns it over on their first posession...Badgers ball!
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:21 
8:22
Crowd getting into it right away, cheering on WIsconsin. Trevon swishes a bucket just inside the 3-point line.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:22 
8:22
And Singler responds with a bucket from the elbow.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:22 
8:23
Jarmusz with a 3! He was wide open in the corner.

[Comment From Bobby BadgerBobby Badger: ] 
Good win for the BigTen... Illinois wins.... GO BADGERS!
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:23 Bobby Badger
8:23
Add two more...Bohannon with a nice drive to the hoop for an easy two. Place is getting loud...but that quiets it as Duke drains a 3 on the other end.

Back and forth game we have so far.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:23 
8:24
How about 3 more? Leuer with a 3...neither team can miss right now.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:24 
8:24
Badgers whistled for the foul now. Jarmusz called for his first as he goes after a loose ball.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:24 
8:24
Smith misses one badly and Badgers on the break...Bohannon with two fast break points.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:24 
8:25
Nankivil picks up his first foul as he tries to defend the baseline...crowd didn't like that one.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:25 
8:25
Duke puts up a bucket in the paint on the in-bounds, rolls out and then Lance Thomas whistled for a foul...Badgers' ball.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:25 
8:26
Great defense by Leuer in the post forcing a bad shot by Duke...but then he goes down and fires a 3...no good.

Scheyer adds two more for Duke.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:26 
8:27
Now Nankivil wants to join the 3 party...he drains one and traveling called against Duke! Kohl Center is getting wild as we head into our first media timeout.

Leuer adds two more in the paint.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:30 
8:31
Singler with another Duke bucket ... 17-9 Wisconsin.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:31 
8:31
Trevon with two more from the elbow...all five starters have at least 3 points for Wisconsin. Duke can't miss either though as Singler adds two more...he has six.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:31 
8:32
Badgers get a second chance opportunity on that last posession but come up empty...Hughes tried to draw a foul, missed but Leuer was there for the rebound...couldn't get the points.

Wisconsin now whistled for its third foul and Singler makes the first free throw.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:32 
8:33
And the second...Wisconsin up 19-13.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:33 
8:33
Duke applying pressure on the in-bounds and forces a UW turnover.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:33 
8:34
Singler can't miss...he is up to 10 points now.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:34

Duke has the chance for a three-point play as Miles Plumlee gets a kind bounce and draws a foul. Free throw rims out though...21-17 UW.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:35 
8:36
Jordan Taylor works for two more in the post...but I'm sounding like a broken record, Singler with two more.

Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:39 
8:40
Offensive foul now against Zoubek. Wisconsin has 4 fouls and just 2 for Duke...Taylor tried to lob one into Ryan Evans who was gunning for the basket, looking to dunk but a Duke player broke it up. Can he be credited with a pass breakup? Different sport...
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:40 
8:41
Leuer puts up a shot with the clock winding down, no good, Evans tries to go for the ball but whistled for a foul. Bohannon checks back in for Jordan Taylor.

Badgers doing fine without him right now and don't think he has any eligibility left. Another second chance opportunity...Evans misses a 3, Keaton there for the rebound, dishes across the lane to Leuer who slams another! Crowd is on its feet!
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:42 
8:43
Now it's even louder...Duke misses a 3, Evans grabs the board and draws a foul...Badgers ball.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:43

And a 24-second violation against the Badgers. Don't think Evans saw how much time was left on the clock.

Singler makes two more, up to 14...Leuer whistled for the foul. Singler will shoot one.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:44 
8:44
Makes the free throw...15 for Singler.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:44 
8:45
Nankivil does it again...gets in great position for the offensive board, dishes across the lane to Leuer, he misses but heads to the line.

Leuer misses the first and Berggren comes back in for Nankivil who goes to the bench with a big applause. ANd Leuer misses the second.

Hughes throws one up from about five feet behind the 3-point line and drains it! That was NBA range for sure.

He tries it again, not the same results.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:47

Let's hope so! Badgers have been on fire and are at 60 percent right now. They are doing a good job of crashing the boards and creating second chance opportunities, which can't hurt.

Jump ball called, will stay with Wisconsin but only 4 seconds left on the shot clock.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:53

Taylor gets it in to Leuer who banks one in...Leuer up to 10 points so far.

And Smith drains a baseline jumper...33-30 UW.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:54

Jordan Taylor drives into traffic, dishes to Leuer just above the free throw line for two more. Duke comes down and misses a quick shot on the other end.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:54

3 more! Once again, Taylor drives, gets into trouble, finds a wide open Nankivil and he swishes a 3! Kohl Center is on its feet now.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 8:55

Jordan Taylor comes down and applies great pressure on Singler as he air balls a shot...student section making sure he hears that.

A fan's favorite halftime show...the Red Panda! It's a woman on a unicycle and she tries to balance as many bowls on top of her head as she can...she does it by flipping the bolws from her feet to her head, all while riding the unicycle with one foot.

Now that is multitasking.

So at the end of the first, Wisconsin shooting 53.3 percent from the field and have 14 points in the paint. Leuer leading the team with 12 points and five boards. Nankivil with three rebounds, but two big offensive boards. He has eight points. Trevon with seven poitns, two assists.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:09 
9:09
Duke is 13-27 for 48.1 percent. Singler is 7-10 for 17 points but Taylor has forced him to miss his last two shots. Duke with 14 points in the paint.

No pressure or anything.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:20

Didn't notice this until I saw the boxscore but both teams were without a field goal for the final 3+ minutes...Duke's last field goal was at 4:28, Wisconsin's at 3:28.

Duke gets the ball to start the second half. And much like the first, Singler with a bucket.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:22 
9:23
J-Bo responds though with two in the paint...Singler drives and looked like some confusion with the refs but going to be Badgers' ball as it goes out of bounds.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:23 
9:24
Badgers with 10 to shoot and Trevon puts up another 3, no good. Duke playing in front of the UW student section now, which has been loud throughout the game.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:24 
9:25
Wow, that was quite a play, Singler with a nice pass to Miles Plumlee and he slams one down. Badgers miss another shot so back to Duke. Singler dishes again but this time Nankivil there for the block!
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:25 
9:25
Badgers taking a lot of quick shots...Jarmusz with another 3 but no good. Smith comes down and puts Duke within two with a jumper...40-38.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:25 
9:26
Duke turns it over again...Plumlee was looking for Singler in the post but pass went too long.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:26 
9:27
Nice pass by Nankivil to Ryan Evans who lays it in off the glass...42-38 UW.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:27 
9:28
Empty posession for Duke leads to a bucket by Hughes! Badgers on their feet again...student section jumping around but Duke quiets it with two more for Smith...he has 11.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:28

Once again, shot clock winding down and Hughes drains an NBA range 3-pointer...wow. That didn't even look close but hit nothing but net...47-40.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:28 
9:29
Nice defense by the Badgers on the other end as they force Duke to miss a layup, Evans there for the board and draws a foul. Badgers ball out of the media timeout.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:29 
9:31
Badgers still above 50 percent...20-38 for 52.6%.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:31

Two more for Hughes...once again, shotclock winding down and he put one up in the lane ...he now has 14.

Scheyer comes down and banks one in...49-42.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:32 
9:33
Dawkins drains a 3 for Duke but Zoubek whistled for a foul...his third. 3 stands but will be Badgers ball.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:33 
9:34
Nice move by Leuer, he fakes out Zoubek and draws the foul...his fourth.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:34 
9:35
Leuer goes 2-2 from the line that time...he's the only one that has shot free throws for UW tonight. Nankivil and Jordan Tayor check back in.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:35 
9:35
Can't do that...Singler left wide open for a 3 and drains it. Duke had a second chance opportunity on that posession...51-48 UW.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:35 
9:36
Trevon is having a game so far...he drives again for two more in the paint...53-48.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:36 
9:36
Nankivil whistled for a foul on the other end...his second. Duke will be at the line out of the timeout.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:36 
9:37
Nankivil has four assists so far tonight and so does Jordan Taylor. UW with 15 dimes compared to just 8 for Duke.

Leuer drives and puts one up but hits the front end of the rim.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:40 
9:41
Singler now draws a foul on the other end...Keaton whistled for his second. Jarmusz at the scorers table ready to check in.

Singler goes 2-2 and Duke within one point now...53-53.

What's the team fouls situation?
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:41 Guest
9:41
Duke with 3, Badgers with 2 for this half. No one really in foul trouble for Wisconsin.

Taylor adds to the lead with two in the paint...55-52.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:41 
9:42
Great defense by Jarmusz as Miles Plumlee whistled for an offensive foul...his first of the game.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:42 
9:42
[Comment From FrankFrank: ] 
Keaton has 3 PF
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:42 Frank
9:43
You are correct...Gametracker wasn't quite yet updated.

Leuer adds to the dunk total...I think we're up to 6 or 7 now? Badgers lead back at five. Duke puts up a 3, no good, both teams going after the rebound and Lance Thomas called for the foul.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:43 
9:43
Bohannon misses another 3...not his night tonight. Now Trevon whistled for a foul on the other end. Scheyer will head to the line.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:43 
9:44
He makes both...57-54 UW.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:44 
9:45
Leuer nearly turns it over as a Duke player goes flying into the stands...he takes out some of the Badger bench but everyone is OK. Badgers ball.

9:46
Evans looses control while hanging onto the ball, wanted a timeout but traveling called. Fans not happy with that one.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:46 
9:46
A rare miss by Singler as Trevon pushes it, drives and draws a Duke foul...he will head to the line out of the timeout. Singler whistled for the foul...his first.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:46 
9:50
Trevon makes both free throws.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:50 
9:50
Ryan Evans guarding Singler now...Singler drives and forces a shot, no good. Badgers ball.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:50 
9:51
That one was almost down for Bohannon but rims out as he misses another 3, goes out of bounds but stays with Wisconsin and a fresh 35. Trevon makes up for it and hits a 3 of his own on the in-bounds!
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:51 
9:51
And now Coach K wants a timeout...Place is getting loud again and Trevon is pumped!
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:51 
9:52
Trevon up to 21 points tonight and has really come alive. Not sure what he's shooting from the field as the Gametracker stats are a little behind.

Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:53 Frank
9:53
You are correct and 3-6 from 3-point range. That last one was huge.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:53 
9:54
Duke misses a 3 but Mason Plumlee there for the board, Hughes now whistled for a foul...his second.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:54 
9:55
Singler tries his hand at an NBA range 3 but no good, J-Bo there for the board and ref stops play for something...looked like Trevon got hit in the eye but he's OK.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:55 
9:56
Keaton wide open, no good ball tipped out and stays with Wisconsin.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:56 
9:56
Another second chance opportunity turns into another 3 for Trevon! That one was rolling out but went back in...Duke misses and Badgers with the board!
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:56 
9:57
Wisconsin's last six points have been thanks to Hughes 3-pointers. Plumlee now whistled for the foul...his third and that's Duke's 7th so UW in the bonus.

Trevon heading to the bench for a quick breather.

Leuer checks in for Nankivil and he is on the floor with Evans, Jarmusz, Bohannon and Taylor.

Singler makes the second... 65-56 UW.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 9:59 
10:00
Evans puts up a shot that is way off, Duke on the break , Taylor there for the steal but Duke steals it right back and makes a 3...argh!
Wednesday December 2, 2009 10:00 
10:00
Duke picking up half court pressure now and Singler called for his second foul...J-Bo will head to the line for a 1-and-1 after the timeout.

Wednesday December 2, 2009 10:03

Can't leave them open! Dawkins drains a 3 for Duke...67-62 and Duke wants a 30 second timeout.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 10:03 
10:04
We're under the 3 minute mark now. Leuer has Singler defending him in the post, he puts up a shot that rims out...that was close.

Crowd is getting loud again...great defense by Leuer as he forces another Duke turnover. Taylor gets the ball up securely despite a Duke defender staying close.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 10:05 
10:06
Shot clock winding down, Leuer passes to Evans who gets one swatted away and Duke comes down, drains another 3...we have a two point game, folks. 67-65.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 10:06

Leuer fires up a 3, no good, rebound goes loose and jump ball called...will stay with Wisconsin.

Badgers have 32 seconds on this posession and 1:09 to play in the game.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 10:07

Less than a minute now...Badgers really taking their time as Taylor keeps dribbling. He drives, floats one up, no good. Duke there for the board.
Wednesday December 2, 2009 10:08

Evans on Singler...Singler puts one up and no good! Great defense by Evans! It didn't even hit the rim and no foul called...Duke fouls right away and J-Bo heads back to the line.
