This Friday, the Wisconsin Badgers will face Illinois in the Big Ten Tournament.  Wisconsin is 23-7 going into the tournament, and looking strong.  Jon Leuer was named player of the week, after showing that he didn't miss a beat while recovering from a wrist injury.  The team has won five of their last six games, and head to Indiana with a four game win streak on the line. 

On Sunday, our Badgers defeated Illinois on the road.  The game included a double double by Trevon Hughes.  Hughes finished the game with 11 rebounds, and scored 14 points in the game.  The Badgers will once again face Illinois as their first opponent in the Big Ten Tournament.  Tip off is at 2pm, March 12.  Badgers tickets are available 24/7 through our secure checkout.  All home, road, and tournament games are available.    

Our Wisconsin Badgers Basketball team will play host to the Iowa Hawkeyes on Wednesday night.  The 7:30pm tip off will be the last game at the Kohl Center in Madison for 2010.  From here, the Badgers will hopefully go deep into the NCAA playoffs.  Some folks speculate that the Badgers could get past the "Elite Eight."  We hope the best for our Badgers.  Why not shoot for the final four, and then on to the college championship?  Badgers Basketball tickets for the final home game and NCAA tournament, are always available through our site.   

Wisconsin Badgers basketball fans are excited to hear that Jon Leuer is cleared to return to practice.  Leuer injured his wrist a number of weeks back, and is finally ready to work his way back on to the starting roster.  Bo Ryan stated that Leuer would have to prove himself ready.  If there are any issues that would keep him from starting once again, Ryan will make sure to give him the time to recover.

The Wisconsin Badgers basketball team has managed to keep a winning record without Leuer, going 6-3 while he was out.  Badgers fans have come to know that the Wisconsin bench can step up to the challenge, after losing one of the best players on the team. 

The Badgers play at Minnesota tonight.  There are no plans to have Jon Leuer enter the game.  It is more likely that he will spend a few weeks practicing once again.  It is certain that Leuer would be ready for a tournament run.    

Big time contributors for Illinois included Demetri McCamey.  He scored a game high 27 points.  For the Badgers, Jason Bohannon led the team with 15 points.  This was his third game where he led in scoring.  What killed it for the Badgers?  They scored only twice in the final six minutes of the game.  All it took for Illinois was a four point lead, and the Badgers were forced to play the foul game trying to control the clock.   

The Wisconsin Badgers basketball team defeated yet another top ten ranked team.  Michigan State was the latest victim.  Going into this game, Michigan State was ranked #5 in the nation.  The Spartans were undefeated in the Big Ten conference up until this game.

Jordan Taylor scored 17 points in the game, Bohannon scored 19.  The Badgers are now 7-3 in Big Ten play.  Overall, they are 17-5.  The breaking point in the game was when the Badgers hit a three point bucket at the six minute mark.  That put the Wisconsin Badgers up by 16.

Next up for the Badgers is a road trip to Michigan on February 6^th.  Badgers Basketball tickets are available anytime by clicking on the link.  Call our friendly ticket staff at (800)334-5434 between the hours of 8:30 and 6pm Monday through Friday.  We would be happy to help you.  Buy, sell, trade, Badger Tickets are just one call away.
