Wisconsin last competed in the WNIT in 2009, going 1-1 and losing in the quarterfinals to St. Bonaventure. The Badgers won the 2000 WNIT Championship, defeating Florida 75-74 in the title game, and finished as the runner-up champion in 2007, losing at Wyoming 72-56 in the championship game.

The Badgers have had to overcome many obstacles this year in the way of injuries. Senior Alyssa Karel missed three games early with a sprained knee. When she returned senior Lin Zastrow went out for 3 games with a sprained knee. Senior Emily Neal had a broken nose, and most recently senior Tara Steinbauer went out with a torn ACL in the next to the last game of the regular season. Despite the adversity, the Badgers finished third in the Big Ten regular season and had a chance to battle for the title all season.

Several individual milestones were also reached. Lin Zastrow went over 1,000 career points with 18 points vs. Illinois on March 3. The 6-4 post entered the game with 995 points. She became the 21st Badger player to tally 1,000-or-more points in a career.

Today's game promises to be exciting. Illinois State has traveled well bringing a sold-out fan bus and their band. The Badgers also have their band present and the crowds are filtering in.

I think I wil have to wait for the game to tell you about that. Their leading scorer is Emily Hanley who is 6-0 and averages 14.0 points per game. So LIn has a decided height advantage on her at 6-4. Lin has also been out best post defensive player this year, as evidenced by her selection to the Big Ten all-Defensive team. So I will let you k now when the game starts.

Wonder if our UW band is competing for sound with the ISU band. Illinois State has 30 bands people here and their spirit squad. That is pretty cool. I really can't remember the last time we had two bands at a post season women's event except the NCAA volleyball championships we hosted in the 90s.

Sunday March 20, 2011 12:55 isu

Welcome ISU fan. Lin Zastrow and Alyssa Karel are the Badgers to watch. Alyssa is a guard and leading scorer, and Lin is a 6-4 post player who is the second leading scorer. Both are effective players and are the reason we are in the WNIT. A third post player, Tara Steinbauer, was injured 5 gtames ago with a torn ACL , together that treo led UW all season.

Sunday March 20, 2011 1:22 badger
1:23

Badgers have to take care of the ball. they have four turnovers. They also have to rebound, which they are leading 9 to 5. And they need to have a third scorer other than Karel and Zastrow.

It is a fast-paced game.. ISU is not rebounding well so they can't get their running game going. But they are fast when they have the opportunity. UW needs to do a better job of getting back.

Zastrow needs to get going inside. She has a size advantage and needs to be more assertive. And make their free throws. ISU is playing pretty well. They may want to hit cutters in the lane, but it is tough with our height. Living and dying by the 3 point shot can be dangerous.
