Karl Anderson:

no real surprise but Jordan Taylor got the loudest boos during the starting lineups

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:00 Karl Anderson

6:01

Karl Anderson:

i see a few small pockets of empty seats, but by and large it's going to be a full house tonight

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:01 Karl Anderson

6:02

Karl Anderson:

Berggren vs. Carroll on the opening tip

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:02 Karl Anderson

6:03

Karl Anderson:

Carroll wins it

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:03 Karl Anderson

6:03

Karl Anderson:

Bruesewitz on Hummel

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:03 Karl Anderson

6:03

Karl Anderson:

Defensive switch puts Brueser on Jackson and he hits a step-back jumper to open the scoring

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:03 Karl Anderson

6:03

Patrick Herb:

Just like UW figured, Jackson picks up Taylor fullcourt with pressure D.

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:03 Patrick Herb

6:04

Karl Anderson:

One pass too many and the Badgers open with a shot clock violation

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:04 Karl Anderson

6:04

Karl Anderson:

Bruesewitz got it on the top of the key and, instead of shooting, drove and dished to Berggren who couldn't get it off in time

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:04 Karl Anderson

6:04

Patrick Herb:

The Badgers ended up with a pretty shot there, but it came 35.5 seconds in. Need to get the action ramped up sooner.

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:04 Patrick Herb

6:05

Karl Anderson:

Smith no good for 3 off a screen, Berggren rebounds

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:05 Karl Anderson

6:05

Patrick Herb:

Good rebound from Berggren to catch the ball at the peak of his jump

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:05 Patrick Herb

6:05

Karl Anderson:

Taylor drive and dish out to Berggren for 3!

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:05 Karl Anderson

6:06

Patrick Herb:

Badgers have started slow in Big Ten games... a 3-2 lead is a nice luxury. Got to keep it going.

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:06 Patrick Herb

6:06

Karl Anderson:

Miss by Purdue, Carroll grabs the rebound but steps out of bounds

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:06 Karl Anderson

6:06

Karl Anderson:

Brueswitz for 3!

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:06 Karl Anderson

6:06

Patrick Herb:

Ok, ok, ok... early open looks.

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:06 Patrick Herb

6:07

Karl Anderson:

Hummel off a pair of screens but can't hit the jumper

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:07 Karl Anderson

6:07

Karl Anderson:

Badgers turn it over though

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:07 Karl Anderson

6:07

Karl Anderson:

3 off by Barlow, Carroll rebounds and is fouled by Taylor

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:07 Karl Anderson

6:07

Patrick Herb:

Taylor really tried to push tempo there and beat the Purdue D down the floor, but as he penetrated he lost control.

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:07 Patrick Herb

6:07

Karl Anderson:

his 1st, team's 1st

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:07 Karl Anderson

6:07

Patrick Herb:

I like Taylor working hard to beat the Purdue D down the floor though

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:07 Patrick Herb

6:07

Karl Anderson:

Hummel drives and misses but another offensive rebound for PU

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:07 Karl Anderson

6:08

Karl Anderson:

then Smith cuts down the lane for a lefty lay-in

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:08 Karl Anderson

6:08

Patrick Herb:

Two offensive boards this trip... need to shore that up. That is where Michigan pulled away last weekend.

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:08 Patrick Herb

6:08

Karl Anderson:

Top of the key, Gasser for 3!

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:08 Karl Anderson

6:08

Karl Anderson:

Badgers are 3-3 tonight, all from beyond the arc

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:08 Karl Anderson

6:08

Patrick Herb:

I tell you what... all three 3-pointers have been feet squared... in rhythm and from kickouts from the post. Great signs

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:08 Patrick Herb

6:08

Karl Anderson:

Jackson's jumper rims out, Carroll goes for the loose ball but out of bounds

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:08 Karl Anderson

6:09

Karl Anderson:

Brust in for Taylor

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:09 Karl Anderson

6:09

Patrick Herb:

Gasser will run the point

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:09 Patrick Herb

6:09

Karl Anderson:

Berggren misses a 3 but its out of bounds off Purdue, ball will stay with UW after a media timeout

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:09 Karl Anderson

6:09

Patrick Herb:

Ok, they're human. We can forget about the perfect game.

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:09 Patrick Herb

6:10

With 15:44 left in the 1st half, Badgers lead Purdue 9-4

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:11 Karl Anderson

glad both bruiser and gasser have been willing to take the open 3 and not pass it up

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:11 Guest

6:11

Karl Anderson:

Badgers hold a 4-2 lead in rebounds, but both Purdue boards have come on offensive end

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:11 Karl Anderson

6:11

Karl Anderson:

Badgers are 3-4 tonight from the field so far, Purdue just 2-8

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:11 Karl Anderson

6:12

Patrick Herb:

Bo Ryan always preaches that the most high percentage 3s come on kickouts from the post. All three of UW's treys came from that ilk.

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:12 Patrick Herb

6:12

Patrick Herb:

Taylor hasn't taken a shot yet, but has 2 assists

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:12 Patrick Herb

Smart, smart play from Taylor there. REbound in trafffic and Jordan didn't go in hard because he already has one foul. Can't lose him this early. Smart

6:22

Patrick Herb:

Boy, UW was really working Rob Wilson in the post. They got it to him twice and he made a nice play to get space in the lane but didn't pull the trigger.

Thursday January 12, 2012 6:22 Patrick Herb

6:23

Patrick Herb:

I couldn't read his lips, but it looked like Jordan TAylor was telling Rob that he needs to go up with that shot as they walked back to the huddle.
