Welcome into our live game thread for Wisconsin's opening round NCAA Tournament game against Wofford. We hope you will follow along with us all day, whether you are at work or managed to get the day off.
The game starts at approximately 1:50 CT, depending on how long the Temple-Cornell game goes. And speaking of that game, I will be right here watching it and commenting a little bit on the two teams Wisconsin could play Sunday.
Feel free to leave your comments and predictions below!

We definitely don't want to go home early. It's a goal. We all want to make it to the Final Four. We all dream about making it to the Final Four. I've been here before. I've been to the first round, second round, Sweet 16. I want to go deeper than that. I want to go deeper than the Elite Eight. It's me and Jason's last go-around, and in past years we've had another year to come back. This is it for us. We're going to have to come out and play with chips on our shoulders and hopefully our teammates feed off of us and we can make a good run, a deep run in this tournament.

Bo Ryan on 670 The Score this morning
I've been trying to get Bo Ryan on 670 The Score since I started working there last May. Getting Bo to do the interview wasn't the problem, it was finding an excuse to talk Wisconsin basketball on a Chicago sports station that rarely talks college sports.
I guess the NCAA Tournament is all we needed. Bo was on this morning with Mully & Hanley and you can listen to the interview by clicking on the headline above.
Bo gives some good insight on Wofford and their star big man Noah Dahlman. He also said his players should get a "team of the year" award for the work they did in the offseason.

Everything you need to know about the Wofford Terriers

Location: Spartansburg, South Carolina
Conference: Southern
Record: 26-8 (15-3, 1st Place)
Coach: Mike Young (116-125 in 7 years at Wofford)
Enrollment: 1,450 students
The Terriers returned five starters this season from a team that went 16-14 a year ago. Wofford was hoping to make the NCAA Tournament in 2009, but it was upset by Elon in the first round of the SoCon Tournament. On top of five returning starters, Young brought into two transfers from the state of Minnesota who played AAU ball with Noah Dahlman (16.8), the team's leading scorer. Those two transfers, Jamar Diggs (9.4 ppg) and Cameron Rundles (6.6 ppg) became two of the team's top four scorers. Wisconsin's Jordan Taylor is familiar with all three Minnesota natives, having played AAU basketball against them.
Wofford enters the NCAA Tournament on a 13-game winning streak and finished first in the Southern Conference with a 15-3 record.

Badgers earn No. 4 seed, will play Wofford

Update (10:26 p.m.): Friday's game vs. Wofford will tip off at approximately 1:50 p.m. CT.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Wisconsin's poor performance in the Big Ten Tournament apparently didn't hurt their seeding in the NCAA Tournament.
The Badgers were handed a No. 4 seed and will play No. 13 Wofford Friday in Jacksonville, Fla.
The Terriers have come a long way since their one and only meeting with the Badgers back in 2007. Wisconsin won that game at the Kohl Center 70-43, but Wofford has since built a pretty decent team and is now headed to its first-ever NCAA Tournament.
School-wise, Wofford is very similar to Davidson, which beat Wisconsin in the 2008 Sweet 16. It's a school with an enrollment of only 1,450 students in the small town of Spartanburg, South Carolina. Of course, Wofford does not have Stephon Curry and even though the Terriers have won 13 straight games, the Badgers should be heavily-favored.
Wisconsin was placed in the East regional, where Syracuse, N.Y. will host the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. Kentucky is the No. 1 seed in the regional and Marquette is the No. 6 seed.
Should the Badgers beat Wofford, they would play the winner of No. 5 Temple and No. 12 Cornell. Both teams will be very tough outs.

Cold shooting day dooms Badgers

INDIANAPOLIS -- Is it cold in here or is it just the Badgers?
Wisconsin made a courageous comeback in Friday’s Big Ten Tournament Quarterfinal game against Illinois, but could not overcome a ridiculously cold shooting day and fell 58-54.
It's hard to even explain how cold the Badgers were at Conseco Fieldhouse, which is known for its tight rims. The Badgers were only 6-of-39 at one point in the second half, shooting only 15 percent. Illinois, by contrast, shot 65 percent in the first half. The fact the Illini only had a 29-20 lead at the half was somewhat surprising.
"It’s very tough to start a game out like that and shoot they way we did," senior Jason Bohannon – who only hit 1-of-10 shots – said. "We got some good looks and they just didn’t happen to fall. We certainly can’t let that affect the way we shoot the rest of the year. We got to get that confidence back."
Bohannon and classmate Trevon Hughes combined to start the game 0-of-17 from the field and Wisconsin trailed by 16 points with 6:45 left in the game as a result.
