The Badgers had a busy day yesterday with a news conference, open practice then closed practice. The team did take time to pose next to the NCAA tournament banner on the scorer's table.

I'm watching ESPN2 right now and it looks like they're showing the Vanderbilt/DePaul game. Once the Badger game starts, will ESPN2 tune in to the Badger game?

Vermont has two big scorers in seniors May Kotsoupoulos and Courtnay Pilypaitis. The two average more than half of the Catamounts points and lead the team in nearly every statistical category.
Sunday March 21, 2010 11:16

Wisconsin and Vermont are very comparable in nearly every category so it should be a good game today.

Vermont misses and Lin grabs the board. Teah misses the pull-up in th lane and Vermont boards. The Cats miss and Rae Lin grabs her first board.

Actually, Taylor just broke her left thumb Tuesday in practice going for a loose ball. It is just the tip of the thumb so she doesn't seem to be having any problems though she is playing with it well wrapped.

Shot-clock violation on the Badgers. that 1-2-2 is tough and not something you see very often.
