We're about 18 minutes away from the national anthem, line-ups and tip off.

Both teams are on the floor warming up right now and the late arriving crowd is slowly filing in. The NU student section is about 100 deep maybe behind the NU basket.

There is always a lot of Red at these games, but tonight being a weeknight might hurt that a little. We'll see.

No Jon Leuer at tonight's game... Jon had successful surgery yesterday in Madison and stayed back on this trip. Hopefully he will be able to join us this weekend at Ohio State.

I'll end the suspense now... Jordan Taylor will get the starting nod in Jon's place as UW will go with a three guard line-up.

any news of how long Leuer will be out?

Not really any timetable yet for Leuer's return... the team is optimistic that they'll get him back before the end of the season though.

Will that lack of size with Taylor in the lineup hurt the Badgers?
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:27 Ben

Northwestern is a pretty perimeter-based team that shoots a lot of jumpers, so I think they will be ok with that today. Also, the 3 guards could help against NU's 1-3-1 zone.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:27 
7:30
[Comment From Jeff from CPJeff from CP: ] 
We have to hope that the team can make up for what we will lose for not having Leuer on the court. I think that can. It was give some of the freshman valuable experience.

Just look at the last couple of games with Leuer on the bench with foul problems, they did fine, however this NW team zone is another beast entirely...
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:31 kiwipetry
7:32
UW will start Nankivil, Jarmusz, Taylor, Bohannon and Hughes
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:32 
7:33
NU will start Jon Shurna, Drew Crawford, Michael Thompson, Luka Mirkovic and Jeremy Nash

Have the Badgers been working on defending the Princeton offense/Northwestern's back cuts this week in practice? Who played Juice and Shurna on the scout team?
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:33 Ben
7:34
Big time... Monday and Tuesday were full of work vs. the zone and defending the NU offense... Bruiser played Shurna (and well I might add)

Any chance we might see the kid from Texas during this time. Will he get more playing time at all? Or will it be mainly bruiser and Berrgren for Jon.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:34 Jeff from CP
7:35
I doubt we'll see Ian Markolf tonight, but we could see more action out of Jared Berggren and Mike Bruesewitz. If you want to find a positive in Leuer's injury it is that some of the young guys will get immediate experience.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:35

Me too... last year NU hit four threes in the first 2:30 of the game... can't repeat that.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:36 
7:36
UW wins the tip
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:36 
7:37
J-Bo drives on the first possession and kicks to Taylor... he misses a three and Jarmusz goes over the back for a foul.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:37 
7:37
J-Bo forces a turnover from Nash... nice footwork J-Bo on the baseline.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:37 
7:37
Patience for UW now on offense.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:37 
7:38
Taylor backs down the smaller Thompson... misses the turn-around but Nankivil tips in the rebound! Gotta crash that glass... NU can be had in that area.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:38 
7:38
Nash sinks a three from the corner and NU picks up a 3/4 press.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:38 
7:38
Keaton kicks to J-Bo who drives and draws contact on the floor before the shot. Ball OB
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:38 
7:38
Taylor sets up the offense.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:38 
7:39
Keaton is short on a three from the top and NU boards.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:39 
7:39
Nash from 18 feet... good. NU leads 5-2.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:39

Hughes is long on a jumper from the corner and the ball goes OB to NU.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:40

Thompson beats his man and sinks a 15-footer.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:40

J-Bo can't find it from three, but Tim tips out the rebound and UW resets.

J-Bo dribbles up and hits a jumper... like his aggressive mindset early. 7-4 NU leads.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:41 
7:42
Keaton picks up a foul on the defensive end... that's his first. UW needs him to stay out of foul trouble. That brings us to the first media timeout.

Ok... the first little push is over and UW can catch it's breath. Surviving the initial surge on the road is always important. The way NU can shoot it... especially.

With the shot clock running down Taylor pulls up and misses a jumper. Crawford misfires from three for NU. UW ball.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:45 
7:46
NU is 6th in nation in made threes and 3rd in 3-point attempts.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:46 
7:46
Bohannon knocks down a long two-point jumper. UW within one.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:46

Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:47 
7:48
Taylor with a great drive beats his man and lays it in! Taylor with 5 points early.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:48 
7:48
Jordan just picked up his first foul on the defensive end. Crawford will shoot two FTs. Ryan Evans will check in for Jarmusz and Wilson replaces Taylor.

J-Bo pump fakes then shoots... no good. NU ball.
Thompson drives and lays off for Luka in the middle. He scores and is fouled by Wilson.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:54

UW misses and NU comes running back down up three.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 7:57

UW turned it over a travelling call. NU ball after a media timeout.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:49

A foul on NU brings loud Boooooos from the crowd. Loose ball and NU guy jumped on Taylor.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:49

Hughes penetrates and can't get it to fall... like the drive though.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:50

NU misses and Hughes gets position for the rebound and is knocked over by Rowley. 4 team fouls on NU.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:50

Wilson replaces Jarmusz on the floor.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:50 
8:51
Hand-check foul on Marcoulio bails out J-Bo and the Badgers late in the shot clock. That's 5 team fouls now. Getting the bonus could be big if they start calling this tighter this half.

Hughes long on a three from the wing. NU boards.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:54 
8:54
Evans gets called for holding Shurna as he cut to the hoop away from the ball. That's one on Evans and 2 on the team.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:54 
8:55
It looked like Evans had great position and almost tied up Shurna on a drive, but they called him for a foul. He'll shoot a pair.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:55 
8:55
The first is good... the second is also.
NU leads by 3

Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:57 
8:58
Crawford spins in the lane and Keaton gets called for his third foul. He'll shoot a pair.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:58 
8:58
The first is long and Wilson checks in for Taylor. Taylor might have a contact lens problem.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:58 
8:59
Both FTs are long and no good.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 8:59

The second is no good and NU boards... 8:59 left to play, UW down 2.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 9:00 
9:01
NU misses, but the long rebound goes to Luka. He misses and then Crawford gets the rebound and he's fouled. Ryan is not happy with the defensive rebounding and he'll bring Bruiser in.
Wednesday January 13, 2010 9:01

Nankivil takes a seat as Crawford hits one of two FTs.
Taylor replaces Wilson also.

Nash dribbles off a screen and draws contact from Bruesewitz. He'll head to the line. That guy had a big game vs. UW last year here and he's got a nice game tonight too with 11
Wednesday January 13, 2010 9:07

Wednesday January 13, 2010 9:09

Tim's FT is long but Keaton rips down the offensive board and is fouled going back up... wish he would have hit that.
