This is a special day because it is a return to the UW Field House, a place where I conducted basketball business for over 20 years. I am your home game blog host. Having covered the Badgers as their athletic communications contact for over 30 years, I hope you join me today and every home date for the Badgers this season.

Tam Flarup: 
With commencement taking place in the Kohl Center, it was a good excuse to harken back to the days of old and a return to the 'old barn.' This marks the first regular-season game played in the UW Field House for the Badgers since Jan. 11, 1998. The Barn was the home to the team from 1974-98, where Wisconsin was 167-110 (.603) over 23-and-a-half seasons.

It is also a special day because it is alumni day. More than 25 alumnae are also returning for the game and will be introduced at halftime, including 1,000-point scorers Barb Franke, Lisa Bonnell, and Michele Kozelka.

Tam Flarup: 
It will be fun to see all the alumni in the stands today. They have been very enthusiastic about the return to the field house as have been current players. They have practiced here the past 3 days and love the floor. Wait to they hear it with a crowd yelling so close to the court. Here is a YouTube video with the players comments about the Field House. http://youtu.be/xnmpjy6qOF8

Tam Flarup: 
This has been a great start to the season for UW. The Badgers have won their last three games with a 71-68 win over Marquette on Dec. 5 and a 82-73 overtime victory over Florida Atlantic on Monday. The winning streak is the longest for UW since winning three straight Big Ten games from Jan. 22-Jan. 30, 2012. Wisconsin's 6-3 start is the best since 2009-10 when the team was 7-2. The Badgers need only three more wins to equal their victory total from last year.
UW was 4-5 through nine games last season. The Badgers were also 2-2 at home this time last year while this season's team is 5-1 in the Kohl Center.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:14 Tam Flarup
1:16
Tam Flarup: 
The last game was a thriller with the Badgers leading most of the game then prevailing in overtime. The Badgers defeated Florida Atlantic 82-73, their first overtime game of the season and the first since losing to Iowa, 85-79, on Feb. 2, 2012 in the Kohl Center. Head coach Bobbie Kelsey is now 1-1 in overtime games. The overtime win is the first for the Badgers since downing Wyoming, 63-59, on Dec. 15, 2010.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:16 Tam Flarup
1:17
Tam Flarup: 
Wisconsin shot a season-best 50.9 percent (27-of-53) from the field against the Owls on Monday. The Badgers also scored a season-high 82 points, the most since scoring 86 points in a 93-86 overtime loss vs. Kansas on Nov. 21, 2010.
UW has shot better than 43 percent in four of its last five games. UW is hitting 45.5 percent (105-of-231) of its shots in the four games, including 44.2 percent (23-of-52) from 3-point range. The strong shooting has upped the Badgers' season average to 40.5 percent.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:17 Tam Flarup
1:18
Tam Flarup: 
Wisconsin took a season high 31 free throw attempts against Florida Atlantic on Monday, making 25 for 80.6 percent. The Badgers won the game in overtime, outscoring the Owls 13-4 in the extra period with seven of those points coming at the line.
The Badgers also showed their strength at the line against Marquette on Dec. 5 as two free throws by AnnMarie Brown with 5:43 remaining tied the game at 63. Cassie Rochel added two free throws and Gulczynski chipped in one charity shot to give the Badgers a 66-63 lead with 4:45 to play. Freshman Nicole Bauman iced the win with a pair of freebees with 14.3 seconds remaining.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:18 Tam Flarup
1:19
Tam Flarup: 
For the third time this season and the second game in a row, Wisconsin had four players score in double digits against Florida Atlantic on Monday. Morgan Paige (28), Jacki Gulczynski (16), Tiera Stephen (12) and Tessa Cichy (11) each posted double-digit performances in UW's win over FAU.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:19 Tam Flarup
1:22
Tam Flarup: 
Wisconsin dished off 16 assists against Florida Atlantic on Monday, just one short of its season high of 17 dimes vs. Milwaukee on Nov. 11 and tied against Alabama on Dec. 1. Senior Tiera Stephen tied her career best with nine assists against the Owls.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:22 Tam Flarup
1:23
Tam Flarup: 
The Badgers made a season-high nine 3 pointers and shot a season-best .600 (9-of-15) from behind the arc against Marquette on Dec. 5.
In its last three games, Wisconsin is shooting 51.4 percent (18-of-35) from deep, nearly double its season average of 28.3 percent.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:23 Tam Flarup
1:24
Tam Flarup: 
Senior Taylor Wurtz has missed the last four games due to a flare up of a reoccurring back problem. The 6-0 guard ranks second on the team with 12.6 points per game and shares the team lead with 7.0 rebounds per game.
Freshman Dakota Whyte missed the last two games due to a left knee injury while junior Cassie Rochel did not play against Florida Atlantic due to a left-foot injury. Rochel will return today, but Whyte and Wurtz are still out.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:24 Tam Flarup
1:25
Tam Flarup: 
One reason for the win over FAU was the huge contribution of freshman walkon Tessa Cichy. She played the best game of her short career against Florida Atlantic Monday night and "was probably the key to us winning this game," according to head coach Bobbie Kelsey.
The 6-0 guard played a career-high 26 minutes, scoring a career-best 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting. Cichy pulled down a career-best six rebounds while adding one assist, one block and one steal.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:25 Tam Flarup
1:25
Tam Flarup: 
Junior Morgan Paige has scored in double figures in all nine games this season, including three games with 20-or-more points, and is averaging a team-best 17.4 points per game, which ranks sixth in the Big Ten. The Marion, Iowa, native has been the Badgers' leading scorer in seven games this season, including the last five in a row.
Saturday December 15, 2012 1:25 Tam Flarup
1:27
Tam Flarup: 
Nicole Bauman was named the Big Ten co-freshman of the week on Dec. 3. She picks up her first Big Ten weekly award and is first Wisconsin player to be named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week since Taylor Wurtz won the honor on Jan. 18, 2010.
Bauman scored a career-high 16 points against in-state rival Marquette on Dec. 5, shooting 5-of-8 from the field, including 4-of-5 from 3-point range. Bauman made two free throws with 14 seconds left in the game to seal a 71-68 win over the Golden Eagles. She also added a career-best five steals and three rebounds in the win.

At the field house the press row is midway up the bleachers right before the first balcony. At the Kohl Center, we are courtside. It is kind of fun to be able to see who is coming into the game.

Can't choose one. Too many fun times. The program made such great strides in the 90s under both Mary Murphy (first NCAA bid in 1992) and later Jane Albright, who returned the Badgers to national prominence. The first win over a ranked team (Purdue) was terrific. The first sellout in 1995 was very emotional. Just a lot of good memories here in the barn.

Glad to have you with us. The Field House was built in 1929. Prior to that, the men's team (because there were only mens sports until 1974) used the Red Gym or Armory. When it was built it had a dirt floor. And it accomodated 14,000 for the boxing matches. Today the capacity of the Field House is 10,600.

Tessa was recruited by the previous coach Lisa Stone. She was offered but didn't take it right away. Then we switched coaches and she was invited to walk on since Bobbie didn't really know her. She did, because of the high academics. She wants to be a pediatric surgeon. She may be considered now@!
