7:53 – We’re blogging live on Senior Day from the Kohl Center where the Badgers are set to take on the visiting Nittany Lions of Penn State. UW’s four seniors (Tanner Bronson, Mike Flowers, Brian Butch, Greg Stiemsma) each came out with their parents and got a nice ovation. On a different note, it doesn’t look like PSU’s leading scorer Jamelle Cornley will be playing tonight. This one might get ugly.
8:13 – Marcus Landry has 7 points and UW leads 10-7 at the first media break.
8:22 – The pace has picked up a bit and Wisconsin’s lead is up to 6. Steimsma threw down another monster jam and Landry had a great block.
8:33 – Not much going on….its 20-12 UW with 7:30 to go….its getting a little bit physical here. Bohannon was tripped earlier and Butch and the Penn State bigs are going at it a bit.
8:41 – Flowers sank a trey and the lead is now 27-17 with 3:46 to go.
8:51 – The Badgers are pulling away, its 34-17 with 2.6 seconds left in the half.
9:16 – It’s a rout. Landry leads the way with 11 and its 42-20 with 15 to go. Bucky just danced with the dance team and showed off some sweet moves.
9:27 – Joe Krabbenhoft threw one down for the first time this year its 57-27 with 11 minutes left. Just showed a highlight of Kirk Penny leading UW past Marquette a few years ago and the crowd gave him another huge ovation.
9:34 – 64-33…Penn State’s waving the white flag…
