Funny hearing the Nebraska student section chanting "Go Big Red" all the time. Between that and the red/white adidas gear... feels like an intrasquad scrimmage.

Pretty good crowd filling in here... they're pretty excited about this Big Ten opener. They only about 4,000 for their last game, but they should have about 10 or 11,000 tonight.

Nebraska had a few injury concerns over the last two weeks with starters Brian Diaz and Talley missing a lot of action. Well... they're both going through full warm-ups tonight and might be back. #playingpossum

ESPN2 just stated " Wisconsin has the #1 ranked defense in the country"
Tuesday December 27, 2011 8:02 Steven B from Madison
8:03
Karl Anderson: 
This is true, The Badgers are off to a suffocating start on the defensive end, allowing opponents a nation's-low 44.7 points per game. UW also leads the NCAA in opposing field goal shooting, limiting foes to just 33.5 percent.
Tuesday December 27, 2011 8:03 Karl Anderson
8:04

Nebraska is a good defense traditionally too (led the Big 12 in scoring defense in three of last four years).

Bucky has held Spencer to 5 points. That has got to be way below his average, since he's their leading scorer.

Evans has REALLY improved that mid-range jumper and he's proving it tonight. He was not a good shooter when he got to campus. Hard work pays off folks.
