Badgers report: Getting inside

With a victory on Saturday at Northwestern, Wisconsin will clinch the outright Big Ten title and the senior class will become the first Badgers to win 100 games.

In the penthouse at 15-2 in the conference standings, Wisconsin holds a one-game lead over Purdue and Indiana. The cellar-dwelling Wildcats (8-20, 1-16) have dropped nine of their last 10 games this season and lost to the Badgers by 12 on Jan. 19.

Wisconsin is 9-2 on the road and would tie the school record of 10 road victories set by the 1915-16 squad.

Seniors Brian Butch, Michael Flowers, Greg Stiemsma and Tanner Bronson, who have already been a part of a school-record 48 Big Ten wins over the past four seasons, enter the regular-season finale with an overall record of 99-31.

Defensive dominance and offensive balance have been the keys to their success. The Badgers lead the nation in scoring defense (54.4 points per game) and are the only Big Ten team with four players averaging double figures in scoring in league play.

They started the conference season with five different players scoring at least 20 points in the first five games, a first in Wisconsin history. Four different players have paced the Badgers in scoring in their last five games.

"This class has done an unbelievable job of coming together collectively," head coach Bo Ryan said. "We said early in the year that for the team to win, it's got to be done by numbers, by the group, and they've done that to this point. We'll see what happens with the rest of the season."

WISCONSIN 77, PENN STATE 41: The Badgers claimed at least a share of their first Big Ten regular-season crown since 2003 with a sensational Senior Night performance on Wednesday in Madison.

Junior Marcus Landry scored a game-high 15 points and seniors Brian Butch (12) and Greg Stiemsma (10) also reached double digits for No. 10 Wisconsin (25-4, 15-2), which won its sixth consecutive contest. The Badgers have won 11 straight against the Nittany Lions in Madison and eight straight overall.

The nation's stingiest defense limited Penn State (14-15, 6-11) to 29.6 percent shooting from the field (16-of-54) and 24 percent (6-of-25) from 3-point distance. The score was 34-17 at halftime and 48-20 with about 14 minutes remaining.

Wisconsin's two other seniors got in on the act, with Michael Flowers contributing nine assists, eight rebounds and five points and reserve Tanner Bronson drilling a 3-pointer for his first bucket since Nov. 16.

Ok so I know that the Big Ten is expected to be really good this year (maybe we finally win the BigTen/ACC?), but I am surprised at the lack of respect the Badgers are getting in various preseason previews. You would think that more sports writers would be giving Bo Ryan the benefit of the doubt considering his record at UW (never missing the tournament and never finishing lower than 4th in the le ...(more)

I watched the game last night on the computer as it ws live streamed on bigtennetwork.com. They looked fantastically good for most of the game. The last 10 minutes got a little sloppy but Bo was also putting ALOT of different combinations on the florr at that point as well. I know the competition isn't much but you could tell the team was pushing tempo more than ever. I told you that this ...(more)

As many probably know Royce White was suspended indefinitely for shoplifting and 5th degree assault. He tried to steal $100 of merchandise at Macy's and pushed the security guard down to the ground multiple times.

It will be interesting to see what Minnesota does with him. Taylor and Glover got dismissed for stealing from dorm rooms. I guarantee UM doesn't have it in them to suspend

The recruit most likely to replace Vander will be at tonights game against Bemidji. He is also being wooed by Arizona State, Northwestern, Michigan and a bunch of mid majors. He is a 6' 8" wing with a great shooting touch and a great handle (a former PG). Sounds like a Krabbenhoft type only with a better shooting stroke. I like it, hope Bo lands him

With the publication of Dick Vitale's and ESPN"S pre-season hoops forecasts, Wisconsin has now failed to make the Top 40 in either  basketball or football.  How long since that happened?

Nobody is ganging up on the Badgers. As the guy who used to compile the wire service coaches' voting, I can tell you this is an honest reflection of how analysts who do this stuff for a l

Stumbled upon this through the UW Basketball Insider email.  Thought it was a good, accurate take on the upcoming season.  I might have to bookmark the authors blog.

 J.P. Tokoto became one of the youngest players ever to receive a scholarship offer from the University of Wisconsin Wednesday afternoon.
 
The multi-skilled and ultra-athletic 6-foot-5 wing player recently completed his freshman season at Menomonee Falls and is now playing on the grassroots scene for the Wisconsin Playground Warriors.

I was flipping through the channels the other day and came across the Big Ten Network, which happened to be replaying this past years Iowa vs Wisconsion BB game in Iowa.  I had to turn the dam game off and not watch it again even though I could basically watch Badger sports years round (especially basketball).  That game was very hard to take. 

This got me to thinking...

Apparently, Cam decided to verbal to Pitt today.  It really puts a lot of pressure on the coaching staff to try to nail down Blue at this point.  Cam really would have been a nice fit at UW, and it seemed like we had a good shot at landing him.  He took a tour at Pitt, which started to recruit him only as of late, and verbally commited after that.  He never took a visit to UW.& ...(more)

I was asked to keep this a secret when i was told by Van Blue...but he officially re-opened up his recruitment today.  Im a good friend Van's and he has pretty much known that he was gonna decommit from UW for a while now, and i say good for him.  He doesnt deserve to dumb his game down to fit into Bo Ryans system that no longer works in my opinion.  Him opening up his commitment me ...(more)

Although the matchups have not been officially announced yet, I think I know what the matchups will be for the first round.  The way I think they do it for these tournaments is they rank the teams in the order of last season's RPI numbers, so based on the RPI, here is what I think the matchups will be.

1. Gonzaga vs. 8. Chaminade

2. Wisconsin vs. 7. Colorado
