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.

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.

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.

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.
