The Badgers arrived in Ann Arbor yesterday afternoon and practiced for about an hour and a half before the men's game here. With today's 1 p.m. ET start, the team didn't have a lot of time this morning to get a practice in so it was good to get on the court yesterday.

One of the things the team and staff does before a game is a 3-point shooting contest. Alyssa, Jade, Rae Lin and Taylor take on Coach Epps, Stephanie Janke, Coach Ty and manager Craig. The coaches won yesterday in a tight contest.

It's hard to believe but there are only three games left in the regular Big Ten season. While Ohio State has clinched its sixth-straight title, the rest of the conference race is up for grabs. Only three games separate the second through ninth-place teams in the current standings.

Wisconsin is tied for fourth at 8-7 while Michigan is 6-9 in the Big Ten, tied for seventh. The Badgers won the first meeting between the two teams earlier this season. Freshman Taylor Wurtz scored a career-high 27 points as UW won 68-48 on Jan. 10 in Madison.

Today's is a "Think Pink" game and the Wolverine players are wearing white uniforms with pink trim. The Badgers will be in their red road uniforms but are wearing pink t-shirts during warmups. The staff is also in pink shirts. Sabrina, the program assistant, and Aaron, the team's videographer, wore the exact same outfits today! They look like twins but Aaron shouldn't be confused with Sabrina's real twin Alexa.

We're less than four minujtes from starting here today and I would say we have a couple of thousand fans in attendance - many dressed in pink. Michigan averages 2,830 fans per game so we'll probably have about that today.

Badgers have struggled inside - except Covington - against the 6-6 Phillips and 6-0 Carmen Reynolds. Both very big and athletic players. It worked well in the first half to have the posts start outside and let the guards work inside. Maybe they will go to that again.
