Wisconsin may not have starting point guard Trevon Hughes for Sunday's Big Ten championship game against Illinois because of an injured left ankle, but that doesn't mean the Badgers won't have a leg to stand on.

They won their only previous game this year without the sophomore's services, beating a Top 10 Texas squad 67-66 in Austin on Dec. 29. They also completed their comeback against Michigan State in the Big Ten semifinals Saturday with Hughes out of the game.

He hit the deck holding his ankle in obvious pain with 12:38 remaining and the Badgers trailing the Spartans 45-35. Wisconsin outscored Michigan State 30-18 the rest of the way for a 65-63 victory. Head coach Bo Ryan said Hughes' status for the Big Ten final was uncertain.

Wisconsin is in the championship game for the second straight season and the fourth time in five years. Illinois (16-18), which needs to win to get in the NCAA Tournament, is in the final for the first time since beating Wisconsin 54-43 in 2005.

The Badgers defeated the Fighting Illini twice this season. They won 70-60 at the Kohl Center on Jan. 10 behind 22 points from Hughes. Hughes led the way again with 18 in a 71-57 victory in Champaign on Feb. 20.

WISCONSIN 65, MICHIGAN STATE 63: A steal and layup by Michael Flowers gave the Badgers the lead, and a missed 3-pointer by Drew Neitzel at the buzzer gave them the win Saturday against the foul-plagued Spartans in the Big Ten semifinals in Indianapolis.

No. 8 Wisconsin (28-4) advanced to the title game for the second straight year despite shooting 37 percent from the field. The Badgers outscored No. 19 Michigan State (25-8) by a 26-14 margin at the free-throw line as the Spartans committed 30 fouls, one short of the tournament record, and had four players foul out.

The Badgers trailed 53-41 with eight minutes remaining before Jason Bohannon ignited a 13-2 run with a 3-point bucket.

After the layup by Flowers gave Wisconsin its first lead since it was 23-22, Kalin Lucas missed an off-balance drive in the lane with 12 seconds left. Bohannon could have iced it, but missed two free throws with eight seconds remaining to give Neitzel one last look.

Neitzel led all scorers with 26 points and Lucas added 18. Brian Butch had 19 points to lead the Badgers, who also got a double-double from Joe Krabbenhoft and 18 points and nine boards from Marcus Landry.

Apart from coming away with a win, that was about the most painful game I have ever watched the Badgers play. I think both teams were taken out by the officiating and even when they played soft after 50-some fouls were called, there was a foul on virtually every possession. I think Leuer played about 10 minutes total. Hughes carried the team and had a couple big plays at the end and the held ball ...(more)

Well, I can't say I was surprised at the outcome, though the game was well competed at stretches. We didn't turn the ball over much but got killed in transition for the most part. Gonzaga deserves a lot of credit for clawing ahead with a lot of talent in Gray, Bouldin and Sacre plus a couple others. For such a new and reconstructed team they played very well together and deserved the win.

Now that the tourney is over I think we can make some assumptions about this season....Good win vs. AZ game was pretty sloppy though but a wins a win.....Gonzaga played way faster pace the we were used to and we got lit up by a pretty good team...Strong win vs. Maryland we did a good job shutting down Vasquez and Leuer played great

Wisconsin is entering a season in which many projections say that they will not make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the Bo Ryan era.  This, I believe, is just a lack of respect.  There certainly is not as much raw talent at Wisconsin as there are at other schools, but they are better coached than almost any team and have a high level of willpower.  They should be in good ...(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 nonconference schedule is not completed but frankly from what I can see even if the rest are cream puffs the Badgers will have one of, if not the best SOS in the nation next year. Not only do they play Duke next year but they also play in the Maui Invitational (a hugely tough tourney), and they'll play Marquette and the other two in state schools. Knowing Greg Gard though I suspect an ...(more)

On another thread there was some talk about recruiting and promises to recruits about playing time.  Here is the link to the other thread.  http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/messag

My point was that I think the coach should promise that with hard work, good defense and fundamental play they ca

I am pretty excited to see the Badgers tonight.  I will be at the game in section 122, row BB.  I was listening to Lucas and Lepay yesterday and they said the Badgers should be tested tonight by Oakland U.  Does anyone have a line on Oakland? I haven't heard much about them other then a few comments such as, they are favorites to win the Summit league.

An observation about college basketball press coverage.  If you haven't noticed...Kentucky beat Miami (Ohio) not Miami FL.  Miami is ranked 133 on Pomeroy and 143 rpi ranking (CBS Sportsine).  Kentucky is ranked number 4 in the nation and they should have beaten miami by a wide margin, instead they barely won the game.  The only press coverage about the game is positive.&nbs ...(more)

This is an overview of the 3 recruits for 2010. Nothing too in depth, but its worth reading.

This is kind of off topic, but one thing that really caught my eye was Bo's comment relating to Gasser.

Again I know it's exhibition but UW-Superior is suppsoed to contend for their conference and are ranked #7 in Division 3 so it's nice to play a team that knows what they are doing, plays a system and sticks to it.

That said this up tempo offense is looking really good on this team. This team is reminding me on the 05-06 team (pre-suspensions) that was able to play at a pretty fast tempo
