We've got a double does of Badger sports for you today, as the men's basketball team looks to improve to 3-0 on the season against a familiar foe, the Wofford Terriers. When we last saw the Terriers, they gave the Badgers all they could handle in the first round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament. Tonight the Badgers will try to dispatch another non-conference opponent in the same way they trounced Kennesaw State and Colgate. Having the game in their house should certainly help. The Badgers are 190-23 at the Kohl Center since it opened in 1998.
As always, feel free to leave your questions, comments, and predictions below. The game is not on TV tonight, but will air instead on ESPN3. Feel free to follow my twitter account as well: @JohnVeldhuis.

I would think Wofford wil put up more of a fight tonight
They’re 1-1, but they lost to Georgia to open the year. Certainly more than Kennesaw State or Colgate can say.

Probably a good idea for Uthoff to sit this year out
Not enough opportunities for him to get meaningful playing time right now.

I'm not even sure where Wofford is located.
South Carolina? I feel like I’ve heard that somewhere.

Evans
Really solid game from him so far, like what I’m seeing

This is basically what they need from him IMO.
Doesn’t need to put the team on his back, just be consistent.

I'm jealous
I don’t get to make it to the Kohl Center very often. Of course, living on the east coast doesn’t help much. In the years we make it back for Christmas, we always try to catch a Badger hockey game if they’re in town.
"If only a face could talk" -- John Madden
Hockey games are excellent.
Never had a chance to go to very many, none of my friends usually wanted to venture out into the cold lol.

That's the half
Badgers up 32-12 after a slow start offensively.
Defense really clamped down in in second half of the period.

Say what you want about Wofford
Made the tourney the last 2 years, not many teams in the country can hold a 2 in a row tourney team to 12 points in a half.

J.D. Wise thought about tacking on an extra three
but held on, and Wisconsin improves to 3-0.
