2) Cut down on the fouls - don't give them the lane

[Comment From Joyce from JeffersonJoyce from Jefferson: ] 
I hear the Big 12 leads the nation in attendance and Mike said the crowd is very close to the court. What is the crowd like and has it affected UW play today?

Not a big crowd but very loud. The fans are right on the court and the way the arena is set up, all of the seats go straight up.

Wisconsin takes a timeout and will have the ball in front of the scorer's table when we get back.

What needs to happen this last 10 minutes? Any Badgers in bad foul trouble?

Morgan and Lin both have three fouls. Fouls are more even this half with OSU having seven and Wisconsin four. For OSU, Bias and Young have three fouls while Bryan has four fouls.
Sunday December 5, 2010 3:37

In the last 10 minutes, Wisconsin needs to slow it down on offense. Right we seem to be rushing it and not getting off good shots.

how about tiera? Also, I am seeing alot of subbing for OK State - do we need to sub more players in order to give the starters a rest so they can finish strong?
Sunday December 5, 2010 3:45 badger fan

Tiera has not played either. I wouldn't say subbing is a big factor since most players can play 30 minutes or more a game.
