Karl Anderson: 
Good evening Badgers fans and welcome to tonight's Gameday Blog as the Badgers look for a win on the road at Michigan State

Karl Anderson: 
I'm here in Madison for tonight's game, but Patrick Herb will be joining us in a bit from the Breslin Center. He'll be bringing you the play-by-play while I'll monitor comments and update the scoreboard for you

Karl Anderson: 
Wisconsin is in a stretch of four out of five games on the road. The Badgers have won four straight road Big Ten games, their longest streak since winning six in a row in their Big Ten championship season of 2007-08.

I'm watching tonight but i hate the style of BB that MSU plays. They are thugs.

Karl Anderson: 
In this season's first UW-MSU match-up, the Spartans pulled out a 63-60 overtime win, their first win in Madison since 2001.

Karl Anderson: 
Meanwhile, the Badgers seek their first win at the Breslin Center since 2004

Karl Anderson: 
Entering tonight, UW has had 6 days of rest since a win at Minnesota on Feb. 9. Since Bo Ryan took over in 2001-02, Wisconsin has taken full advantage of time off between games.
Thursday February 16, 2012 5:47 Karl Anderson
5:48
Karl Anderson: 
When enjoying at least 6 days off between games, the Badgers are 25-2, including a mark of 7-2 when facing a Big Ten team after the break. UW's 25-2 record includes a 5-1 mark against ranked opponents. Wisconsin has won its last 11 games when coming off at least 6 days of rest.
Thursday February 16, 2012 5:48 Karl Anderson
5:51
Karl Anderson: 
The Badgers are 5-1 in Big Ten road games, having won four straight. Overall, UW is 6-2 in true road game this season (8-2 in road/neutral). Among the six BCS conferences, only Baylor (7) has more road wins than Wisconsin.
Thursday February 16, 2012 5:51 Karl Anderson
5:51
Karl Anderson: 
In his last 4 meetings with Michigan State, Jordan Taylor has averaged 24.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists, including a season-high 28 points in the Jan. 3 meeting.

Anyone have a prediction for tonight?
Thursday February 16, 2012 5:52 Karl Anderson

[Comment From HappyWineGuyHappyWineGuy: ] 
I predict UW will jack up a lot of 3s, MSU will get a lot of rebounds and I will be cursing the refs.

Its just a bad game. MSU is pretty good, and the Badgers are playing bad. Obviously we would like a win, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. As for the poor shooting, it is what it is. They have been hot & cold shooting all year. I would prefer it to be different, but it is what it is. This group plays hard & plays good D, but last year Leuer & Nankivil were just simply far better shooters.
