MADISON - Greetings from the Kohl Center, where a sparse crowd is on hand to watch the Badgers try and shake a rare two-game home losing streak.

Wisconsin began its Big Ten schedule in promising fashion, dominating the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln. After dropping three consecutive games, the Badgers picked up a crucial road win at Purdue Thursday night. It's an indication of the unpredictability of the 2011-12 Big Ten season.

We'll be here all game long, so feel free to chime in with your comments, questions and predictions.

UW has looked sloppy in building a 6-4 lead

Four turnovers that I can count

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 5:15 PM CST reply actions

The turnovers continue for the Badgers

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 5:18 PM CST reply actions

Much-needed 3-point play by Taylor

Rebounded a Kaminsky miss to lay it in and drew the foul

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 5:21 PM CST reply actions

Badgers with 4 fastbreak points off of turnovers

They now lead 14-8 with 7:40 to play in the first half.

Defensive struggle to say the least

Neither team very secure with the ball today.

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 5:31 PM CST reply actions

Both teams starting to heat up with their shooting

Berggren nailed a 3 and Taylor hit a jumper while guarded.

Halftime

Wisconsin 24, Nebraska 21

A sloppy first 20 minutes, but the Badgers are on top. We’ll have some stats for you shortly.

My favorite halftime act on display tonight

The F-M Acro Team

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 5:57 PM CST reply actions

Wisconsin shot 45% from the floor in the first half

The reason the Badgers only have 24 points? 11 turnovers.

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 5:59 PM CST reply actions

UW has the rebounding edge, 19-9

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 6:02 PM CST reply actions

Defense has dominated the second half as well

Now 28-21 Wisconsin.

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 6:11 PM CST reply actions

The Badgers' D will keep them in every game this season

Uncharacteristic lack of ball security has hurt them today.

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 6:12 PM CST reply actions

Wisconsin starting to pull away now

Up 9 with 11:36 to play.

Packer game is awful

Im not giving up hope, but I might spend a few minutes around here.

Tajh Boyd and Dre' Ellington are the future.
Brandon Jennings; Just keep waiting people.

The struggle with FT shooting has been a mystery all year.

The entire team seems to have fallen off a bit in that regard. After nearly setting a record for FT shooting % last season.

by jbharris87 on Jan 15, 2012 6:38 PM CST up reply actions

Just because I like stats...

1st in the nation at 82% last season.
100th in the nation at 71% this season.

Tajh Boyd and Dre' Ellington are the future.
Brandon Jennings; Just keep waiting people.

That's it, folks!

Final Score:

Wisconsin 50, Nebraska 45

Heading down for interviews now. We’ll have much more up here later tonight.

Thanks for being with us at B5Q!
