In tonight's battle between Purdue and Wisconsin, it will definitely be a defensive battle as the two teams rank among the lowest in the league in scoring defense. The two teams split in their meetings this season with the Badgers winning 64-51 in Madison and the Boilermakers winning 58-56 in West Lafayette.

Why is this tournament always in Indianapolis? It's too far away for most of us to go and seems to give Purdue and Indiana a big advantage.
Friday March 5, 2010 7:12 Paul
7:13
The Big Ten Conference bids the tournament out and Indy won it. They will host for two more years. There is talk of moving it to on-campus sites - not fair at all. Another idea is Chicago where the men's tournament used to be played. That would be much better for Wisconsin.
Friday March 5, 2010 7:13

Have to say that our crowd is nice and loud. The band really helps - they are definitely louder than Purdue's band.

Let's hope not. It hurts that Rae Lin is on the bench since she has been such a key player lately and we are not the same team without her. Purdue is 3-4 from 3-point range though it seems like more.
