Ross: 
The Badgers had last weekend off from games, so this is their first time back on the ice since hosting Minnesota at LaBahn Arena on Jan. 25-27
Friday February 8, 2013 1:46 Ross
1:47
Ross: 
I spoke with Natalie Berg earlier in the week about the games this weekend and what they have been doing to prepare for them
Friday February 8, 2013 1:47 Ross
1:48
Ross: 
One thing she mentioned was that the team is working on is bringing more energy to the rink on gameday
Friday February 8, 2013 1:48 Ross
1:48
Ross: 
They've felt that in the games that they haven't played well in, it generally started with a lack of energy on the ice
Friday February 8, 2013 1:48 Ross
1:49
Ross: 
The team was loud and energetic on the bus ride over to the rink earlier, so hopefully that will translate over onto the ice
Friday February 8, 2013 1:49 Ross

Ross: 
The Badgers and Huskies are the only ones playing this afternoon in the WCHA
Friday February 8, 2013 1:51 Ross
1:52
Ross: 
Minnesota is at Ohio State, which starts at 6 p.m. and Bemidji State is at North Dakota tonight at 7 p.m.
Friday February 8, 2013 1:52 Ross
1:53
Ross: 
with only six games remaining in the regular season, every game matters a lot more now
Friday February 8, 2013 1:53 Ross
1:54
Ross: 
The Badgers are currently in a three-way tie for third place in the WCHA
Friday February 8, 2013 1:54 Ross
1:55
Ross: 
North Dakota is in second place, but only by two points, with wins getting you three points
Friday February 8, 2013 1:55 Ross
1:56
Ross: 
Luckily for the Badgers, they own tie-breakers over North Dakota and Ohio State in case they're tied with them at the end of the season
Friday February 8, 2013 1:56 Ross
1:56
Ross: 
On the other end of the standings, St. Cloud State is battling to get out of last place.
Friday February 8, 2013 1:56 Ross
1:57
Ross: 
The team that finishes in last place has to play Minnesota in the first round of the WCHA playoffs, so there is a lot of motivation between Minnesota State, Bemidji State and St. Cloud State to not finish last
Friday February 8, 2013 1:57 Ross

Ros, the audio link is incorrect (because St Cloud has a trivia contest going on their 'regular' link). The correct link for game audio is kvsc.org/listen/sports.m3u

[Comment From GregGreg: ] 
Also pretty crucial to get either the 2nd or 3rd spot to get a home ice series with one of the lower tier teams.
Friday February 8, 2013 2:00 Greg
2:00
Ross: 
That's exactly right, finishing fourth would pit you against a pretty good team
Friday February 8, 2013 2:00 Ross

[Comment From Hockey personHockey person: ] 
Can you explain what you mean that the "Badgers own tie-breakers with ND and Ohio?
Friday February 8, 2013 2:00 Hockey person
2:01
Ross: 
If there is a tie in the WCHA standings, then seeding for the playoffs is determined by tie-breakers
Friday February 8, 2013 2:01 Ross
2:01
Ross: 
the first tie-breaker is head to head competition, and Wisconsin has a 3-1-0 record against both UND and Ohio State
Friday February 8, 2013 2:01 Ross
2:01
[Comment From GregGreg: ] 
Plus probably facing Minnesota right away in the WCHA Frozen Four semis.
Friday February 8, 2013 2:01 Greg
2:02
Ross: 
That is also true too! Yea, right now finishing second or third is going to be the main objective
Friday February 8, 2013 2:02 Ross
2:02
Ross: 
obviously finishing second looks better than finishing third too haha

[Comment From Hockey personHockey person: ] 
So is sweepimg Duluth imperative?
Friday February 8, 2013 2:05 Hockey person
2:05
Ross: 
I wouldn't say imperative, since Duluth could still lose other games and we could finish above them, but sweeping them would equalize our head-to-head record with them
Friday February 8, 2013 2:05 Ross
2:06
Ross: 
and tie breakers go to the team with the most conference wins

[Comment From GregGreg: ] 
Evenly played so far?
Friday February 8, 2013 2:16 Greg
2:16
Ross: 
It has been, the Badgers had a good chance or two there, but St. Cloud State had some decent looking shots too
Friday February 8, 2013 2:16 Ross
2:16
Ross: 
Badgers use their timeout there as the group on the ice had to ice the puck off that scramble
Friday February 8, 2013 2:16 Ross
2:17
Ross: 
so with it being that group's second icing call in a row, coach Johnson uses the timeout to get new players out there
Friday February 8, 2013 2:17 Ross
2:17
Ross: 
it worked out as the Badgers had a two on one, but a great defensive play by Martinson stopped it
Friday February 8, 2013 2:17 Ross

Friday February 8, 2013 2:24 Ross

great chance by Berg, but a better job by Friend to play that perfectly as a goalie
Friday February 8, 2013 2:24 Ross
2:25
Ross: 
Badgers score again off a deflected shot! I think it will be Sylvester again!
Friday February 8, 2013 2:25 Ross
2:26
Ross: 
I couldn't tell if the shot was placed toward the far post or if it got deflected in front, but it went right to Sylvester at the back post and it looked like she redirected it in

Just watched the goals, the second goal looks like it hit a SCSU player and not Sylvester, so it will be Pacholok's goal
Friday February 8, 2013 2:43 Ross

The third goal was hard to determine, but it looks like Kelter tipped it in front, but I'll need to ask her after the game to make sure

Preparation-Approach-Response

By Anna Poulter-Hendrickson on February 7, 2013 12:20 PM | No TrackBacks
In today's blog, head coach Yvette Healy writes to the team about preparation, approach and response. 

As we get ready for our first trip of the 2013, I want to challenge this group to get in the right frame of mind. What do championship programs have in common? They prepare for games, approach games and respond in games like champions. 

PREPARATION: 
We've spent the first half of this year in preparation mode. We challenged you to work hard in fall ball. You've had more days practicing outside on the dirt than ever before, taking grounders on the field into December. You survived two-a-days our first week back. You've lifted and ran like champions all winter long. We have one of the best strength, conditioning and nutrition programs in the country, and you are physically strong and prepared. You're smarter and savvier than ever before due to our chalk talks, situation practices, live base-running and IQ sessions. As you spend these last few days reviewing our scouting reports, know and believe that you are prepared to succeed this weekend. 

APPROACH: 
All the thought, homework and preparation in the world can't help you, if you don't walk into the games with a winning mentality. Preparation is important, but when you arrive at opening weekend, focus determination and a championship mindset will win you games. Do you have something to prove this year? I hope thoughts of Nebraska are still fresh in your mind. I hope selection show Sunday at Buffalo Wild Wings seems like yesterday. Are you on a mission this year?  Are you ready for your first business trip of the year? Our goal is to win the Big Ten. Our goal is compete in the NCAA tournament. Our goal is play in a super regional. The mission of this squad is to create a foundation of excellence for Wisconsin softball, to put us on the map as a perennial national powerhouse, and build a legacy of success. No one is going to hand it to us. You have to brave enough to go take it. Notre Dame has played in 16-consecutive NCAA tournaments. That's a legacy.

RESPONSE:
The final key to success is a character goal. How you respond to adversity is the single most important lesson that you'll learn through sports. It really isn't about winning or losing. It's not about strikeouts and home runs; it's what you do next that counts. How you respond to a bad call, to an error, to strikeouts and home runs will define you. What kind of teammate are you? What kind of leader are you? What kind of softball program are we? If we embrace adversity, and are truly excited about the challenges that lie ahead with this tough softball schedule, we'll become the type of athletes and the type of team that can win the Big Ten and compete in the NCAA's on an annual basis.

National Girls & Women in Sport Day

By Anna Poulter-Hendrickson on February 6, 2013 1:42 PM | No TrackBacks
In today's blog, head coach Yvette Healy writes a letter to the team about the importance of being a role model as a female in athletics. 

Dear Team,
Today is National Girls & Women in Sports Day. This may seem insignificant to you now, but hopefully in years to come the opportunities afforded to you here at Wisconsin will sink in. We are all blessed to be at an amazing university that supports women's athletics at the highest level.

Just look at the money and resources dedicated to all of our student-athletes with the new Student-Athlete Performance Center, weight room, academic advising center and locker rooms. Next think about the resources dedicated to Wisconsin's women's sports, from the new multi-million dollar indoor softball facility and video analysis programs, to the LaBahn Arena for women's hockey, and the new indoor driving range for golf at University Ridge. 

Yet, there is still a huge gap in equality. Think about girl's youth sports, high school sports and inter-collegiate athletics. Funding, resources and facilities are a huge challenge for most female teams. Still the greatest need in women's sports right now is role models. 

We need even more strong, motivated, talented, high-achieving young women to step in and share their talents with other young girls. You are the ambassadors for our sport. You are competing at the highest level. Girls everywhere need you to share your story, your knowledge and your gifts. Please take a moment today to drop a card or email to one of your former teams or coaches. Share your story with other young athletes, regarding what playing sports has meant to you. 

For me, playing softball at Providence Catholic High School was one of the most influential experiences in my life. We learned the value of hard work; shoveling snow off our field, raking it, pulling the drag around the infield by hand, rolling the outfield, painting the equipment shed and lugging bags of diamond dry to try to get in one more game over spring break. We learned discipline and sacrifice, waking up early for lifting, conditioning and open gym before school started at 7:30. 

We were blessed to play for a coach, who was passionate and driven. Every day he pushed us, made us laugh and challenged us to play hard. We learned how to lead, playing with a diverse group of athletes, some who competed year-round, and others who were happy just to play for one year in high school. Time management was critical, balancing a rigorous academic schedule with long bus trips and double-headers. Yet what stood out most were the teammates, teachers and coaches who took the time to talk, teach, support and challenge us. 

- Coach Healy

Lucas at Large: Tolzien prepares for Super experience

By Mike Lucas on February 1, 2013 10:06 AM
FB_130201_Tolzien_Scott_49ers_2.jpg

As the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart, the backup to the backup, Scott Tolzien didn't take any snaps for the San Francisco 49ers. But he still feels good about his ongoing pro football education.

"For starters, I get to go against the No. 1 defense in the NFL week-in and week-out,'' said Tolzien, the former Wisconsin quarterback, who runs the 49ers' scout team in practice.

"I remember when I first got here, I thought, 'Am I the worst football player around? Or, what's the deal?' It didn't take long to figure out that our defense is extremely good.''

It's one of the reasons why the 49ers are playing in Super Bowl XLVII against the Baltimore Ravens. Another reason has been the dramatic emergence of quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Tolzien started the season as the backup to Kaepernick, who was the backup to Alex Smith. But after Smith suffered a concussion, Kaepernick took over as the starter and Smith is now the top reserve.

"I've learned a lot from just being the third guy,'' Tolzien admitted. "What I thought was really cool was that none of this quote-unquote controversy changed the dynamic in our quarterback room.

"It was still business as usual. Both guys, especially Alex, were so professional about it. I know it didn't change the way Alex prepared on a week-to-week basis. That included helping me and Colin.''

Regarding Kaepernick's rapid development, Tolzien said, "We all knew he had the physical tools. You saw that in practice. But the way he's done it on game days is extremely impressive.

"He's still a young quarterback yet he doesn't make the young guy mistakes. Even more than that, he's not just managing the game, he's making plays.''

Tolzien felt all along that Kaepernick "went into this thing extremely confident and once he was able to put a few games together, he can outwardly express that and take command of the huddle.''

Along with Washington's Robert Griffin III and Seattle's Russell Wilson, the dynamic Kaepernick has been at the forefront of introducing an innovative way to attack NFL defenses with the zone read.

"They took the league by storm this year,'' Tolzien opined. "In my mind, one of the top storylines has been what this offensive scheme has done to the league and how it has transformed it.''

But does it have staying power? Or is it a trend? Tolzien wasn't sure.

"I'm curious as anyone else,'' he said. "Right now, nobody has an answer. It creates a lot of one-on-one situations. All it takes is for one guy to be off on his gap responsibilities, and it's a house call.''

There has been no denying the impact of the dual-threat quarterback, for now, at least. But what about the new wave at the position? That includes RG3, Wilson and Indianapolis' Andrew Luck.

"I still don't think people understand how ridiculous that is to step into NFL huddle at that age and take over like they have,'' Tolzien said. "That's so uncommon. Yet they've made it look so easy.''

Tolzien, who led the Badgers to the 2010 Big Ten title, can derive satisfaction not only from the overall team results but in how the defense reacts to each individual opponent from week to week.

Leading up to the Super Bowl, he has simulated the tendencies of Baltimore's Joe Flacco and provided a picture of the Ravens offensively and "concepts that they're running'' with Flacco.

FB_130201_Tolzien_Scott_49ers.jpg"Over the course of the season,'' Tolzien said, "if you take one piece from each guy (opposing QB), you can have a few more things in your own arsenal to draw from at the end of the season.

"I basically try to treat Wednesday and Thursdays as my game days. What it all boils down to is that you're preparing each week as the starter, whether you're third string or first string.

"You'd be cheating yourself -- you'd be cheating your team -- if you weren't doing that. A majority of my focus is on our own scheme. That's one of the fun parts of the gig.''

On Super Bowl Sunday, he will be "trying to live or play vicariously through the starter and provide an extra set of eyes for adjustments that can be made during timeouts and between series.''

The mere fact that he's on the roster of Super Bowl team has been pretty overwhelming.

"This last week has been crazy, but it also has been awesome,'' Tolzien said. "It's kind of like the same feeling when you win the Big Ten and you find out that you're going to the Rose Bowl.

"Now to actually have those two things happen, it's surreal. I'm so fortunate, and so thankful, and I want to make sure I don't ever take any of this for granted.''

Although he has been inactive more than he has been active, dressing for just three games during the regular season, Tolzien has treated his apprenticeship with urgency.

"You realize at this level that a lot of it is on you,'' Tolzien said. "If you're not good enough, they're going to find the next guy. That's pretty powerful right there.

"You'd better find a way to get better each week otherwise you're not going to last. There's another crop of guys coming into this league after the draft and they're looking to take your job.

"It will be like that every year until I establish myself in this league -- until I get playing time and prove that I can do it. I'm fine with that. Bottom line: you have to be hungry to get better.''

By all accounts, Tolzien is famished. "It's pretty simple, I want to be a starter (in the NFL),'' he said. "That hasn't changed since when I picked up a football when I was 10 years old.''

To this end, he has been taking advantage of his teachers: Niners head coach Jim Harbaugh, a former NFL signalcaller, and San Francisco quarterbacks coach Geep Chryst, the brother of Pitt coach Paul Chryst.

"(Harbaugh) played over a decade in the league,'' Tolzien said, "so there's merit in the things that he points out to you, whether it's a defensive scheme or a fundamental of the position.

"It's not just coachspeak. He sees the game through our lens and that has been extremely helpful. I'm just so happy to work with both guys. They're first-class individuals and awesome coaches.

"Geep is the more talkative version of Paul (who was Tolzien's offensive coordinator at Wisconsin). They have the same humor and personality. You're just going to hear more out of Geep.''

As it was, Tolzien heard from Smith after the Badgers hired Gary Andersen as their new head coach in December.

Smith and Andersen were at Utah at the same time.

"Right away, he goes, 'That's an awesome hire,''' Tolzien said. "He told me he's just one of the most genuine people that you'll ever come across, just a normal guy.''

The Voice: Once again, Badgers walk a fine line

By Matt Lepay on January 31, 2013 10:10 AM
The_Voice_Matt_Lepay_200.jpgIn the years I have written this blog, I have used the words "fine" and "line" rather frequently.

Here I go again.

For the third straight game, and for the fourth time in conference play, the Badgers have failed to get out of the 40s. Yet they have won two of those four games, and they remain in the mix for a high finish in the league race.

After Tuesday's loss at Ohio State, that might seem odd, but it is very much the case.

What might also seem odd is that, offensively challenged as the Badgers can be, their shooting numbers are very similar to a year ago.

In conference games, Wisconsin's field goal and 3-point percentages are nearly identical to last season. In fact, the Badgers are averaging one more bucket per game than last winter. The difference is at the free throw line.

The league-low free throw percentage is well documented. After not even getting to the foul line in Columbus, the Badgers are averaging 13 attempts per game and making 6.7. Last year, UW attempted 16.7 free throws and knocked down 13 a game (77 percent).

That is more than a half-dozen points off the board. Still, Bo Ryan's team is 5-3 in the Big Ten, which is exactly where they stood at this time last year.

Second-half defensive struggles against Ohio State aside, this group continues to grind away on that end of the floor, and more often than not, it continues to hold its own on the glass.

However, as the Buckeyes demonstrated earlier this week, a defensive breakdown here, or a turnover that leads to easy points there, can mean the difference between victory and defeat. Even if it happens on just a handful of possessions, as was the case at Value City Arena.

It is worth noting that Tuesday's game was the fifth in the last six outings against a top 25 team. While college basketball rankings have a much different meaning than college football polls, the point here is that the Badgers have had quite a stretch of tests against opponents many consider to be the big boys of the sport.

For the season, Wisconsin has faced seven nationally-ranked programs, more than anyone else in the nation.

That is not to suggest that UW is about to enter Easy Street. Far from it.

Up next is Illinois. In the first meeting in Madison, the Badgers put together a brilliant performance in a convincing win. Yet this is the same Illini squad that drilled Ohio State by 19 points and also won at Gonzaga.

Ranked or unranked, when Illinois is playing at its best, it can play with anyone.

So can the Badgers.

As we approach the halfway point of conference play, it is becoming clear that, in the Big Ten, the grueling schedule has a way of keeping every team in the league humble.

Let's face it, so far there appears to be very little separating first place from the middle of the pack. Some teams might look the part more than others, but the results suggest that looks can be deceiving.

Once again, the Badgers walk a fine line. However, in the nation's top conference, there is reason to believe they are not the only team fitting that description.

Yes, they need to somehow find a way to shoot straight. They need to find a way to get to the foul line, and then finish the deal when they get there.

While far from perfect, on most occasions the Badgers are doing enough things well to at least give themselves a chance. I still believe that if they keep guarding -- and grinding away -- they can make the second half of the Big Ten season very interesting.

I hope the Badgers play well this game that the Senior Class contributes alot and goaltender Alex Rigsby lets her defensive girls know to get the puck out of the slot when possible so she can make a save. The Badgers have to weather the first five minutes of each peirod to win today and stay out of the penalty box Let's go Red
