The NCAA may soon be coming down on Bo Ryan, and judging by the talent he has brought in of late, it probably won't be for illicit recruiting.
In the minds of anyone who watches college basketball, NCAA Tournament losses stand apart.
The Big Ten announced its end-of-the-year awards late Monday, and the selections included Wisconsin senior guards Trevon Hughes and Jason Bohannon and junior forward Jon Leuer.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill.—Momentum can be a powerful force in basketball, especially on the road. All it takes is a few things to go right for the home team before the squad gains confidence, the crowd gets into it and the balance of the game shifts.
The Badgers picked up just their fourth road win of the season with a 78-46 clinic over the Hoosiers last night, marking their largest margin of victory in a road Big Ten game since their 54-20 win over the University of Chicago in 1942.
Much has been made of Wisconsin's recent propensity to rely on long-distance shooting. Entering Sunday's game against a much smaller Northwestern team, along with junior forward Jon Leuer playing his first home game since his injury, the Badgers had an opportunity to return to a more balanced offense, and they did that with enough success to hold off the Wildcats yesterday.
Evans: Freshman forward Ryan Evans has often been head coach Bo Ryan's first option off the bench this season.
Last Tuesday, the unthinkable happened when Bo Ryan's Badgers dropped a home contest to an unranked Big Ten squad, something which has never happened before under his watch. But after another loss by Michigan State, Wisconsin has an opportunity to stay in the Big Ten race with a home game against a squad in the lower-half of the Big Ten —Indiana.
Evans: Freshman forward Ryan Evans and the Badgers shot over 50 percent from the field as they defeated their third top-10 opponent at home this season.
Every game, Trevon Hughes wears the number three across the chest of his jersey. After nights like Wednesday against Michigan he might need to trade that three for a Superman ""S.""
Coming back from winter recess is typically strange when following the Wisconsin men's basketball team. Before the break, Wisconsin has usually only played games against one or two worthy foes, which means many questions about how good the team is in a given year remain unanswered. Then, many students leave Madison for a month, and by the time they return, the Badgers have then played in five or six Big Ten games, and fans now have a pretty good idea of how the team can play that season. Ironically, the period when most students are out of town is one of the most important stretches of Wisconsin's schedule.
It's a strange spot, holding an opponent down, answering each small run, watching a lead bounce between nearly comfortable and just too uncomfortable. The Badgers were in that spot against Duke, holding off the Blue Devils and then saw the shoe on the other foot, never quite able to get over the hump against UW-Green Bay.
The Badgers (6-1) breezed through a cool-down game at the Kohl Center Saturday, beating Grambling State 79-46 behind 20 points on 6-of-11 shooting from senior guard Trevon Hughes.
Any excitement from the win over Duke or the Big Ten's first Big Ten-ACC challenge victory was short-lived for Wisconsin.
An emphatic dunk by junior forward Keaton Nankivil came just in time to seal a 64-61 Badger victory against Arizona last night in the first round of the Maui Invitational.
After months of training and a two-game exhibition stint, the Wisconsin men's basketball team will kick off its season this Sunday night when they host Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. With an extremely competitive Big Ten Conference this year and a challenging stretch in late November and early December, it's crucial the Badgers start off strong to set the tone for a successful season.
On UW-Superior's first possession, junior forward Jake Smith sent a high, inaccurate pass to junior forward Marcus Helland, who made the catch, hung in the air and banked it home to complete the alley-oop, sending oo's and ah's through the Kohl Center. But it was all downhill from there for the Yellowjackets, as Wisconsin cruised to an 80-47 preseason win.
Wisconsin wraps up its exhibition schedule tonight against an in-state rival. Not Marquette, not UW-Milwaukee, not even UW-Green Bay. Instead, UW-Superior will travel from the northern tip of Wisconsin to Madison to face the Badgers.
The Wisconsin men's basketball team tipped off its 2009-'10 campaign Wednesday night with a slam dunk, running over Bemidji State on its way to a 90-54 win.
The Badgers begin their two-game preseason schedule tonight at home against Bemidji State.
