Go Badgers!

So far, the Badgers (18-1) have been able to take care of business in the Big Ten, but it hasn't necessarily been pretty. Last Saturday they pulled out a six-point win at Northwestern (10-7), and trailed for much of the second half. Then on Wednesday, they pulled off a five-point win over a more formidable opponent in Purdue (13-6). What does this all mean? Well, in years past, the Badgers would have likely lost the game at Northwestern, with this being the first win in last three games for the Badgers at Welsh-Ryan Arena. This win especially showed even though they aren't winning easily, they are winning, and more importantly playing as a unit.

Today, the Badgers travel to Illinois (14-6), in hopes of continuing the nations longest win streak. Champaign is a tough place to play, but this is a Badger team that has what it takes to win on the road. Wednesday, the Badgers host Michigan (15-4) at the Kohl Center. Michigan's is a good long range shooting team, one of the few weaknesses this Badger team has. But playing at home does give them the advantage. Hopefully by next week, they will be (20-1), Go Badgers!
