The good news: Bryant McIntosh is dressed and warming up. The bad news: Vic Law is wearing a boot on his right foot and will not play.

It's great to have BMac back, especially for Senior Night, but I wonder how much that shoulder will bother him. It's his right, shooting shoulder. And Law being out of the lineup will make things awfully tough.

Wisconsin has won three of its last four, including a big upset over Purdue last Thursday. So they're on an upswing, while NU is going in the opposite direction.

The last time these two teams played, NU jumped out to an 18-1 lead in the first six minutes and posted a 60-52 win as the Badgers were never able to get closer than six points the rest of the way.

Let's see if the emotion of Senior Night can carry the Cats a little bit tonight.

Not looking good to start, WI hit some open threes as the D is missing assignments and getting lost. The O has some dumb turn overs and Gavin had two baskets called back.

Ah, I tune in and Wisconsin goes on a 10-2 run.

Seems about right, the way this season has gone.

Not a good start for the home team: they have four turnovers and trail 12-5 at 14:53.

Wisconsin is carving up that 2-3 zone right now, too.
