The Voice: Storylines abound as march to March begins

The_Voice_Matt_Lepay_200.jpgWe begin today's blog with a tip of the cap to the Wisconsin women's basketball team, which begins the week tied for first place in the Big Ten. Among the highlights so far this season is coming back from a 16-point deficit to win at Minnesota.

It is a big week of hoops at the Kohl Center. On Thursday night, the women host third-place Michigan State. Beyond the obvious importance of the game in the league race, head coach Lisa Stone is on the brink of 500 career wins. She picked up number 499 on Sunday when the Badgers beat Northwestern in Evanston.

If you have not seen the women's team in action, Thursday would be a good time to start. Tip time is 7 p.m. at the Kohl Center.

If you are a student, why wouldn't you go? It is "UW Student Night," when simply showing a valid student ID gets you in for free. Plus, you will get a voucher for a free hot dog and a soda, while supplies last.

Free is good. It is one of my favorite words. Hopefully many will take advantage of the opportunity.

Wisconsin (11-9, 6-2) pulled away in the second half to defeat Illinois (7-13, 2-5) 60-47 at the Kohl Center and remain alone in second place in the Big Ten with a 6-2 record. Follow the gameday blog for all the details.

The Badgers (9-8, 4-1) defeated Purdue (11-6, 2-3) 60-46 to move to 4-1 in the Big Ten Conference and maintain second place. It was the first sweep of the Boilermakers since 1984. Follow the live gameday blog for all the details.
