I'll be there with a group of 4. First time at the Kohl for me.

I'll be there assuming I can get a ticket. Have to be in meetings in Madison Wednesday afternoon anyway, so it works out well for me.
Putting aside the state rivalry the Badgers will almost certainly be the best team we play all year. Notre Dame is in the same class; Valpo may be close. I would have preferred we played them right at the beginning of the season, like Western Illinois did. Give Bo a month with any random 13 college players and they would be good. Start with as much talent as the Badgers have and they will be a lot better than good. But we do have the advantage of experience at several positions, and that's meaningful. One of these years the Badgers' shots won't fall and ours will; let's hope this is the year.

If we can have the three's fall in this one like they did against Notre Dame, I'm confident we'll take this one.

mkepanther, It's quite bad form to take a shot at Fran like that. Just saying.. Hell of a first post.

It's not an important question but it's a fair question since most folks know I'm a big fan of both programs. But I'm always in Black and Gold for this game. I actually just scored two tickets for the game tomorrow from a big Badger booster I know who can't make it from Chicago. Now I need to find another Panther fan to go with. I'll ask my wife first.  |

At his core, Fran knows that this game is more important to the Panthers.
The Badgers under Bo will win their 24 games, finish in the top four in the Big 10 and advance to the NCAAs. Why? Because that's what his teams do.
It wasn't always that way.
Meanwhile, let's make this a Throwback Wednesday ... all the way back to 1992.
UWM! UWM! UWM!

Visions of Craig Greene dancing in your head, ghostofdylan? I'm getting those old tingles again! Regrettably, they usually subside about a half-hour after tipoff. |

No doubt the KC has been very tough on the Panthers. Pearl brought the best team we ever had there and lost by 29 -- and it wasn't actually that close. It didn't help that we played them four days after the Badgers lost to a bad Marquette team. Bo apparently caught his team's attention after that one. Let's hope that they have relaxed a bit since the big Syracuse and Temple wins, are looking ahead to crushing Marquette on Saturday, or both.

Well, let's hope the Panthers gets it's fair share of the calls on Wednesday. Have been there many times in this match-up where the numbers are almost equal, until you get to the fouls called. #BadgerHateWeek
