Payback and a championship. Wisconsin has a chance to gain one and extend hope for the other in a huge game that kicks off the final third of the Big Ten season.
The Badgers have lost six straight at Michigan State, but have been road warriors (5-1) this season in league play. Wisconsin will be hoping to get more production from the off guard position in this one, if only to avoid the monumental scoring lapses that the Badgers survived against Minnesota. If UW has any hopes of stealing a Big Ten title, their work starts in earnest tonight in East Lansing.
Michigan State's impressive 58-48 win over Ohio State has Tom Izzo's crew back in position for another title themselves. The Spartans are sporting a much improved offense this season and their return to voracious rebounding has fueled the third-best defense in the nation (allowing only 0.839 PPP).

This is my favorite matchup of the year
MSU vs. Wisc always has a few subplots going.
I know we all love to hate Izzo, so keep the projectiles away from the TV screen.

15 points on the fast break for MSU
0 for Wisco, along with no points from the Badger bench yet. Puke.
Badger starters have also been terrible.
0-7 aside from Bergs on three, and Bergs is 1-3 in that department.
Nobody can buy a shot, it looks like MSU is getting away with murder on defense (or we’re playing HORRIBLY with possession of the ball), and unless Ryan Evans stops being an offensive sinkhole and Jordan Taylor can hit a jump shot, this is not going to end well.

Halftime: MSU 31, UW 19
Safe to say this was one of the Badgers worst halves of the season. By everyone.
Nowhere to go but up. I think.
Follow me on Twitter @hoopsmarinara for Wisconsin hoops news, insight and recruiting.
One would hope
You’ll forgive me if I don’t hold my breath. I want to believe you, I do, but this team, at MSU, Green playing like the beast he is so far…tough road and a HUGE hole to dig out of.
first comment
long-time reader, first time commenter. this game is that frustrating. there is no way we get through the sweet 16 with these scoring droughts. compound ryan’s style, our spotty shooting, and this terrible defensive effort and we look like a high-school b squad. lets just hope for improvement in the second half.
Sad way to get your start
But you’re right – things look pretty bad right now. Though we have to remember they’re playing one of the best teams in the country on the road.

Hell, I wouldn't mind if MSU was shooting 2
BUT SEVEN THREE POINT CHANCES? That’s not good officiating by any stretch of the imagination in college basketball.

10 minutes still
^ seems amazing. like a miracle. or whatever equivalent of a miracle is for satan. game is making me feel very satanic. i dont want to be satanic.
Evans and Taylor have combined to go 7 of 20 from the floor.
Sounds bad, but the rest of the team is doing no better.

Would be nice to drive sooner than 6 mins left
MSU D has been very tough tonight though. No doubt.

58-41, 6:25 in regulation.
I’ve given up on this game. I hope they can make it somewhat respectable.
Nope. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

What was the game-plan?
Fall behind by a billion points and then rally in the last 5 minutes? That usually doesn’t work!

That was looking like a HIDEOUS possession, but Taylor tapped it away from MSU and got it into play. Somehow.

Don't get me wrong, I love that we're shooting free throws, but that was a bit of a stretch of a call...

Badgers do not know how to run a fast break
that was so brutal

Bo springs the full court pressure
Green has to burn a TO on the inbound. Nice job.
Lead down to 9 on Evans’ 2 FTs (14-2 run).

Yet every MSU fan complains about flops
They’re only a travesty when the other team does it.

Bruesewitz fouls out
bumped Appling big time. Taylor had position on help D. Unfortunate.

That is so out of play on Michigan State, if not a reach-in, that it isn't even funny.
Now the officiating throws aside any pretense of a bias.

And if Jordan Taylor had hit his 2nd free throw in regulation back in Madison, we wouldn't have gotten swept.
