THE GOOD NEWS
Wisconsin retains four of its top six players next year. All four -- point guard Trevon Hughes, shooting guard Jason Bohannon, small forward Joe Krabbenhoft and power forward Marcus Landry -- have been important parts of a program that has won 61 games over the last two years. Nobody else in the Big Ten can match that. Presuming the Badgers get in the gym and earn their customary offseason improvements, Bo Ryan's bunch figures to challenge for another Big Ten title next year.

THE BAD NEWS
With 6-foot-11 seniors Brian Butch and Greg Stiemsma graduating, the Badgers don't have any centers with relevant experience. Redshirt freshman J.P. Gavinski, who played just 15 minutes this season, seems like more of a role player. Freshman Keaton Nankivil, who managed seven points and 16 rebounds in 46 minutes this year, projects as a power forward. Could he and Marcus Landry start together in the frontcourt?

KEY RETURNEES
Sophomore guard Trevon Hughes was the Badgers' No. 2 scorer (11.2 ppg). Junior combo forward Joe Krabbenhoft was the team's No. 2 rebounder and assist man (6.5 rpg, 2.5 apg) and an all-Big Ten defender. Junior power forward Marcus Landry (10.8 ppg, 5.4 rpg) delivered good numbers and improved his shooting range. Sixth man Jason Bohannon (8.2 ppg) hit a team-high 53 3-pointers and made 87 percent of his free throws.

They figure to be four-fifths of Wisconsin's starting lineup next season. Could freshman Keaton Nankivil join them? Or could it be incoming freshman Jared Berggren, a 6-foot-10 center from Minnesota who's regarded as one of the nation's top post recruits.

ROSTER REPORT

--C Brian Butch delivered a great season in his fifth and final year in Madison, Wisc. The 2003 McDonald's All-American earned first-team all-Big Ten honors as he led the Badgers in scoring (12.4 ppg) and rebounding (6.6 rpg) despite averaging just 24.6 minutes per game. Moreover, he filled the leadership void created when Alando Tucker wrapped up his career the year before.

--G Michael Flowers started slowly after a personal issue required a brief sabbatical from the team. But the combo guard wound up with a terrific senior year as he contributed 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while re-earning a place on the Big Ten's all-defensive team.

--G Trevon Hughes endured his share of ankle and foot problems during his sophomore year, including an injury that sent him out of the Davidson season finale in the first half. But Hughes enjoyed a breakout season that suggests he'll be an all-Big Ten performer next year.

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

The question is relatively simple.  Shoud Bo Ryan move Jason Bohannon back to the bench?

I think he should, for a couple of reasons, Jason is probably the best 3 point shooter on the team.  He struggled mightily at times last yer with his shot.  It just seems like he needs to be on the bench to get in the flow of the game.  I like Jason as a player, I just think h
