UW-GB Game Blog Second Half

2nd Half

20:00 The starting five for the Badgers are on the floor. Chappel hits a jumper. Chappel really didn't get to much PT in the first half.

18:39 Steisma blocks an alley-oop dunk and is called for the foul. The replay shows all ball and a great play.

18:01 UW-GB is within 11 (47-36). The UW offense has really stalled the last 10 minutes. The Badgers are settling for the outside shot instead of driving or feeding the post.

17:05 Taylor hits 2 of 2 FTs after driving to draw the foul. See how easy that was?

Oral Roberts is leading Kansas by 5 midway through the second half. This is one of the favorites to make the final four? Do Bucknell and Bradley ring a bell?

15:10 Tucker hits a 3. But the Badgers are doing too much standing on offense, not enough movement. 52-38

14:41 The enforcer causes a tie-up on D. Possession arrow UW. Relentness.

14:09 Bohannon gets a great transition bucket. The play started with Krabbenhoff cleaning the boards. A minute later the Enforcer hits a three. Badgers up by 17.

12:27 My boy Bohannon hits a three. There is plenty of room on the bandwagon. All aboard!

Oral Roberts is now up by 10 AT KANSAS with 6 minutes left. Vegas didn't have a line on the game, so it is safe to say that Kansas was considered a huge favorite. Bill Self can recruit, but that is only half the battle.

11:24 Landry drives the lane, makes the shot and gets fouled. But he misses the FT.

10:49 Bohannon scraps for a rebound fighting off a Phoenix (or is it Phoeni?) and converts the lay-up.

9:49 The Polar Bear (sorry Coach Lav) sets up shop on the 3 pt line and knocks it down. The Badgers have pushed the lead out to 20.

8:05 Tucker hits the shot in traffic and is fouled. HE MISSES THE FT.

6:02 This is the 5th time Tucker has faced the Phoenix. You don't see that too often.

Since this game is basically over, I have switched over to the ORU-Kansas game (only available on ESPN Full Court - order now for only two payments of $55). ORU is up by 7 with 17 seconds left. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. How does a top 3 team lose its second game of the season, at home no less. ORU pulls off the stunner, 77-71. Bill Self loses to his old team. Was KU on the cover of SI? If so, the jinx has claimed another victim.

3:33 Ok, back to the Badger game. They are up 73-59 with three and a half left.

2:12 Badgers up 77-61. For those of you wondering, the line was Badgers by 18. I say that purely for entertainment purposes only.

Badgers are 73-5 at home the last five years.

Badgers win 79-62. Tucker is the high man with 18. Taylor and Flowers with 12.
