Brian Mason:

Was just getting to that, John...

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:44 Brian Mason

6:45

Brian Mason:

There is no TV coverage of tonight's game, unless you live in the Green Bay or Appleton markets, where it is airing live on MYNEW32.

Brian Mason:

The Badgers (6-1) enter tonight's game riding a a three-game win streak that includes last week's wins over then-No. 5 Duke and Grambling State. UW cracked both the Associated Press (No. 20) and ESPN/USA Today (No. 23) polls this week.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:50 Brian Mason

6:52

Brian Mason:

Green Bay (8-2) heads into the contest riding a four-game win streak that began with a win over defending Summit League champion North Dakota State on Nov. 27 and continued with a pair of home wins last week over conference rivals Loyola and UIC.

[Comment From DanDan: ]

Are Matt and Mike calling the game, or is there any radio feed of the game?

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:53 Dan

6:54

Brian Mason:

Yes, you can get the game statewide on the Wisconsin Radio Network, and the audio is also available on InsideBadgerSports.com as part of the Badgers' All-Access subscription package.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:54 Brian Mason

6:55

Brian Mason:

One of the storylines to follow tonight is that UW head coach Bo Ryan is going for his 200th win as the Badgers' mentor.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:55 Brian Mason

6:57

Brian Mason:

Bo is 8-0 against Green Bay as head coach at Wisconsin, including a win here at the Resch Center in 2002 -- the Badgers' last trip to Green Bay

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:57 Brian Mason

6:57

Brian Mason:

That was the first game ever hosted in the arena and that night's crowd of 9,705 is still a facility record. We'll see if it gets topped tonight. The game is a sellout, but the inclement weather may keep some of those who purchased tickets away.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:57 Brian Mason

6:58

Brian Mason:

Bo is 582-177 (.767) in his 26-year career as a head coach

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:58 Brian Mason

[Comment From MikeMike: ]

How many career wins does Ryan have, including @ Platteville?

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:58 Mike

6:59

Brian Mason:

We're coming up on the time for pregame program, including the national anthem and the introduction of starting lineups

Wednesday December 9, 2009 6:59 Brian Mason

7:00

Brian Mason:

Interestingly, tonight will be Green Bay's 11th game of the season. Heading into tonight, only Florida International (11) has played more games this season than the Phoenix (10).

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:00 Brian Mason

7:01

Brian Mason:

I'll pause a moment for the national anthem and be back with starting lineups in a moment.

Leuer with the board on GB's first miss

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:08 Brian Mason

7:08

Brian Mason:

Shot clock violation on the Badgers' first possession ... Hughes went up and was stuffed as the clock expired

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:08 Brian Mason

Brian Mason:

Berry puts GB on the board with a bucket .. 2-0

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:09 Brian Mason

Jumper from the free throw line falls for Leuer to tie things up

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:09 Brian Mason

Brian Mason:

3-ball rattles out for J-BO ... cold start for the Badgers

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:11 Brian Mason

7:12

Brian Mason:

And a runner for GB makes it 7-2

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:12 Brian Mason

7:12

Brian Mason:

Coach Ryan is concerned early about some of the hand-checking that Green Bay is doing, wanting to make sure his guys have room to dribble.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:12 Brian Mason

7:12

Brian Mason:

Taylor called for a travel and the Badgers turn it over again

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:12 Brian Mason

7:12

Brian Mason:

Three turnovers already on the Badgers

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:12 Brian Mason

Leuer shooting an improved 70% on the year at the line.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:14 Brian Mason

7:14

Brian Mason:

A mid-range jumper for Perine and it's 11-3 ... Green Bay can't miss at this point

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:14 Brian Mason

7:15

Brian Mason:

Foul called on Green Bay's Barkley ... that takes us to a media timeout at the 15:45 mark and a chance for the Badgers to regroup

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:15 Brian Mason

Is the crowd hostile? Are there a lot of Badger fans?

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:15 Daniel

7:16

Brian Mason:

There is plenty of red in the stands, I'd say it's close to split down the middle as far as who's cheering for the Badgers and who's pulling for Green Bay

Wisconsin alum and current Green Bay Packer Mark Tauscher in the house... sitting front row behind the Badger bench.

83% - 33% shooting will not get it done.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:16 Jeff

7:17

Brian Mason:

Badgers certainly need to pick it up offensively ... Green Bay can't keep shooting the lights out all night

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:17 Brian Mason

7:17

Brian Mason:

Green Bay is shooting 83% early on to Wisconsin's 33%. Ugh.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:17 Brian Mason

[Comment From KeithKeith: ]

I know a few people at the game that go to school at GB and are wearing their Cardinal and White.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:17 Keith

7:17

Brian Mason:

Probably more than a few ... Evans breaks the drought and it's 11-5

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:17 Brian Mason

7:18

Brian Mason:

Perine with a quick answer, though, and the lead is 13-5 for Green Bay

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:18 Brian Mason

7:18

Brian Mason:

Berry called for a foul ... 3rd team foul on Green Bay

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:18 Brian Mason

7:18

Brian Mason:

Coach Ryan loves to set that up after a timeout... he loves to get Ryan Evans the alley-oop look after a TO. This time Jordan Taylor threw the lob and Evans flushed it. Love that.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:18 Brian Mason

7:18

Brian Mason:

Hughes drops in a trey and the Badgers cut the lead to 13-8

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:18 Brian Mason

7:19

Brian Mason:

Take back what I said about the crowd being split ... not a lot of cheers when Trevon splashed that trey

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:19 Brian Mason

7:19

Brian Mason:

Perine again! He's equaled the Baders and has 8 points

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:19 Brian Mason

7:19

Brian Mason:

Another turnvoer on the UW end

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:19 Brian Mason

Rob Wilson checking in to bring a little more athleticism on defense. He replaces J-Bo.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:19 Brian Mason

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:21 Brian Mason

Green Bay is playing man-to-man defense, trying to make the entry passes tough... defending hard on the perimeter.

Leuer whistled for his fourth after a miss by the Badgers ... Keaton checks in for Leuer

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:22 Brian Mason

Pearson called for a foul on UW's end after a miss on the other end ... Taylor to the line for a pair

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:23 Brian Mason

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:26 Brian Mason

7:26

Brian Mason:

Choppy play early on here for the Badgers. They are having trouble getting the ball inside and the Phoenix are dictating the tempo a little with their perimeter play. You could see that the Badgers are little sped up when reliable guys like Jarmusz are missing easy one inside. UW needs to settle in.

Wednesday December 9, 2009 7:27 Brian Mason

Four early turnovers for Bucky... they had only 5 in the whole game vs. Duke. That's what I mean about GB's guards turning up the tempo.

The bright side from that first half is that UW didn't play all that well that half but is down just two. Seven turnovers is too much, 66.7% at the line could improve, Hughes is 1-for-7, J-Bo is 0-for-2 with zero points. All of that and UW is just down two.

Big Bronx cheer goes up on that foul call on J-Bo. The crowd seems to think that UW is getting the majority of the calls. I would take exception with that. Isn't it funny how both teams always think they're getting the short end of the stick.
