Patrick Herb:

Welcome to courtside at Assembly Hall for today's Big Ten showdown between Wisconsin and No. 22 Illinois.

Patrick Herb:

We're about 13 minutes from tip-off and the Badgers are going through their final warm-ups on the floor.

Sunday January 22, 2012 12:53 Patrick Herb

Patrick Herb:

Assembly Hall is sold out for the first time this season... the Orange Crush student section is packed as usual.

Hey Badgers fans, I'll be helping Patrick out on the blog today from back here in Madison

[Comment From DarinDarin: ]

What is the outlook for today's game. I think that they need to send a message this game to the rest of the league. Looking for a solid game from bucky today.

Sunday January 22, 2012 12:59 Darin

12:59

Patrick Herb:

This is a tough place to play (maybe the toughest in the league), but UW has been decent away from the Kohl Center this year (5-2).

need to get off to good start today; hit some early 3's...big game!

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:00 Bucky from Texas

Patrick Herb:

The Badgers need to weather the initial Illinois out-burst and hang in this game for the first 10 minutes. That will give UW a chance... ILL is prone to mid-game scoring slumps.

National Anthem time

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:00 Patrick Herb

Same starting five for UW: Evans, Bruesewitz, Berggren, Taylor and Gasser.
Starting for Illinois: C Meyers Leonard, G D.J. Richardson, G Brandon Paul, G Joseph Bertrand and G Tracy Abrams.

Gasser

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:02 Patrick Herb

Patrick Herb:

Should be a fun matchup to watch. Josh will be giving up a few inches on Paul, but he's got the tenacity to chase him.

[Comment From Bucky from TexasBucky from Texas: ]

illinois has major to issues...

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:02 Bucky from Texas

1:03

Patrick Herb:

This is true... ILL is last in the league in turnovers (14.2 per game). In fact, ILL is turning it over on 24% of their possessions this season. That seems REALLY high doesn't it?

They work to Leonard early and he misses a jump hook. They will go to him ALOT

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:07 Patrick Herb

1:08

Patrick Herb:

Berggren drives the baseline and is stripped. Out of bounds to ILL

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:08 Patrick Herb

1:08

Patrick Herb:

Richardson off a fade screen rattles out a 3-pointer. Ball goes OB but will stay with ILL

ILL capitalizes as Leonard dunks. 2-0 ILL

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:09 Patrick Herb

Evans tries to hit Berggren on the low block and it's turned over to ILL. Two empty possessions so far.

[Comment From Mars90Mars90: ]

Once again we have to watch the end of another game on BTN that is over, all because of a stupid fight at the end.

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:10 Mars90

1:10

Patrick Herb:

Calm down Mike... Bruiser fires a pass out from the post and air mails Taylor on the perimeter. ILL ball

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:10 Patrick Herb

1:10

Patrick Herb:

Bertrand misses on a reverse try. Badgers ball

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:10 Patrick Herb

Patrick Herb:

UW needs a shot attempt!

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:10 Patrick Herb

1:11

Patrick Herb:

There is a shot and it goes down... a long 2 for Berggren. 2-2

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:11 Patrick Herb

1:11

Patrick Herb:

Would be nice to get Berggren going today... he hasn't had a big game scoring wise in a while

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:11 Patrick Herb

1:11

Patrick Herb:

Badgers dodge a bullet as Leonard misses in close, but Evans misses a short jumper on the other end.

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:11 Patrick Herb

1:12

Patrick Herb:

Abrams drives, scores and a block is called on Evans. Ryan tried to take a charge, but the refs say he was inside the arc.

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:12 Patrick Herb

1:12

Patrick Herb:

As the help defender, you can't do that anymore.

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:12 Patrick Herb

1:12

Patrick Herb:

Abrams way off on the FT and it's Badgers ball, down 4-2

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:12 Patrick Herb

1:13

Patrick Herb:

Berggren with a nice move in the post just can't finish.

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:13 Patrick Herb

1:13

Patrick Herb:

Abrams comes open at the top of the arc for a trey for ILL. 7-2

Sunday January 22, 2012 1:13 Patrick Herb
