Meeeechigan State Comes To The Kohl Center

STRIPE OUT AT THE KOHL CENTER!

If Izzo wins tonight it will be his 700th win. Gotta stop that!

Storr, at the line, scores the Badgers first points.

That’s when I started watching. Strange way to score the first points of the game. Oh well.Bucky looking good so far

Wow 4 fouls on each team and it’s just over 7 minutes into the game

Essegian in and hits a 3!

Crowl looks so confident, in the paint

Terrible possession and a turnover allows a Spartan 3.

Tough shot by Klesmit!

Winter playing very well, in relief of Crowl.

Got some good shooters on this team. Can hit long 3s and get tough shots in the paint surrounded by defenders

Essegian seems to be healthy and more importantly out of Gard's doghouse.

10 fouls on Michigan St! Double bonus for the Badgers!

Spartans making a lot of short range jumpers, in the paint.

Carter Gimore doing his best Darnell Savage imitation.

34-43 BADGERS AT THE HALF!

AJ Storr is leading all scorers with 12 points.

A lot of great shots, but I was most impressed by that shot by Blackwell in all kinds of traffic.

Pretty balanced scoring overall.  8 Badgers scored in the first half.  Essegian did have a nice half.  He also had a strange foul, where he fell into the legs of a Spartan and was called for the foul.  Overall, nice half, but you know that MSU will have a run, and probably won't get worked over on the boards in the second half like they did in the first.  

STEAL-A-RAMA!

That ball took an elevator to get to the rim. What a drive by Klesmit!

Wow, Klesmit.  

Hepburn gets his 1st point, at the line.

Bucky up 18 with 8:18 left. 53-71.

Right now, MSU has 11 def rebounds.  Bucky with 9 offensive rebounds.  Not very Izzo like.  Bucky just out playing and more physical than the Spartans so far.

Wahl did not need to call a TO, there, with the possession arrow for the Badgers.

Wisconsin wins it, 81-66. Denying Tom Izzo his 700th win. A wire to wire win for the Badgers.  A season sweep of the Spartans. The first time that happened in 20 years. 8-1 in the Big Ten!

Badgers with only 6 turn overs.  That is more Badger like than they have been in the past few games.  And MSU barely shoots 40%, Badger lock down D.  Out rebounded them by 10 too.   Next up  @ Nebraska.   I hope they are not overlooking them thinking about Purdon't in the game after that.

The Badgers had better not overlook Nebraska! The Huskers were one of two teams to beat Purdue, this season. Northwestern, being the other. The Huskers with Tominaga, Mast and Williams will be a tough out. The Badgers will need to play their best ball, from here on out. GO BUCKY!!!
