I am Tam Flarup and I will serve as your blog host this season for all home events. I am the former athletic communications contact for women's basketball, and although now three years removed, still enjoy following the players. This senior class were freshmen in my last year of covering the team and it has been fun to see their progress.

We will be having a special guest here today. UW-Madison Chancellor Carolyn "Biddy" Martin will be a guest blogger on press row. So get your questions ready for the Chancellor. Martin is a 1973 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of William & Mary. She played basketball one season for the Tribe, averaging 8.9 points per game in a 12-game season in 1972-73. Martin scored a game-high 17 points vs. Virginia Commonwealth.

The Chancellor will be visiting both the Tribe and Badger locker rooms so we will have some photos to show you later.

The Wisconsin women's basketball team won its regular-season opener at Saint Louis Friday night, 60-32. Senior Lin Zastrow finished with 14 points and a game-high four assists, while senior Tara Steinbauer had her eighth career double-double with 12 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

The Chancellor just returned from China and Taiwan where she met with alumni, political, business and university leaders. It was her second trip to China this year.

Back to basketball: today the Badgers will be without the services of leading scorer Alyssa Karel who turned up lame right before the half in the first exhibition on Nov. 4. The diagnosis is a sprained left kjnee and she is expected to miss several games including the season opener next Friday at St. Louis and today's game. She is in street clothes but off crutches today.
Sunday November 14, 2010 11:43 
11:44
Making UW even thinner at guard is sophomore transfer Tiera Stephen who is out with a concussion. With the graduation of four-year starter Rae Lin D'Alie the point guard position was a question mark this season. The injury situation is demanding point guard be played by committee. With Karel out, Taylor Wurtz, Morgan Paige and senior Emily Neal will all be counted on today to play the point.

The Chancellor just left press row to go into the Badger locker room. So we will have photos for you shortly. We were looking through the William and Mary media guide and she saw her name listed among the letterwinners for 1972-73.

Wisconsin was not picked as one of the top-three teams in the preseason coaches or media polls.
Reigning Big Ten champion Ohio State is picked to win its seventh-straight Big Ten title while Iowa, which tied for third with the Badgers last season, was picked second in both polls. Michigan State was third in the coaches poll while the Spartans and Purdue tied for third in the media poll.
The Badgers did receive vote in the AP preseason poll for the first time since 2000-01 season.

We are underway. The chancellor is sitting next to me and doesn't know we are not supposed to cheer here on press row. But she is cheering quietly.

The Chancellor is enjoying her courtside seat and thinks she should sit her for all men's and women's games. But she usually has obligations in the Chancellor Suite. We may see more of her down here now that she knows what a great seat it is.
Sunday November 14, 2010 12:13

I did say she has to protect me and the computer from the occasional stray ball coming towards us and she assured me she could and would probably shoot it if it came by. OK, maybe not shoot it, but I'll catch it for us;

Just heard of a challenge between the Chancellor of our campus and the Chancellor of UW-Milwaukee to a free throw contest when the Panthers play here Sunday, Dec. 12. The Chancellor is planning to work out with the Badgers ahead of time to get her game on. I'm hoping this is a vicious rumor. But just in case, I need a place to practice between now and then.

So does the Chancellor have any coaching advice for the Badgers based on what she is seeing on the court? Was W&M a DI team, er, back in the day?

Another Q: It appears that Chancellor Martin played right around the passage of Title IX. What kind of impact did that have on W&M sports?

Which players do you expect to see more playing time this year than last?
Sunday November 14, 2010 12:48 Kate
12:49
This is kind of an unusual time since two major players are sitting with injuries. This has provided more PT for quite a few players we may not have seen as much of. Jade Davis definitely looks like she will be a regular, and I am impressed with Mo Paige although she will probably come off the bench when Karel and Stephen are healthy.
Sunday November 14, 2010 12:49

Taylor Wurtz is another Badger we will see alot of. She just drove the lane and gave UW at 26-15 lead with 1 minute left in the half.

The word from the doctors is game-by-game. She is not on crutches, which she was last week. Just depends on the rehab and swelling. They don't want her to be back too soon.

It is surprisingly more sparse than last week's exhibition game. The official number is not in yet, but there are a lot more holes than previous exhibitions. It has been a big sports weekend on campus with men's hockey both nights, football, and men's basketball follows the women's game today. I will send the number along when it comes in.
