Welcome to the Badger Herald live blog! I’m Kelly Erickson, associate sports editor at the Herald, and I’m coming to you live from the Kohl Center. I’m joined by statistics editor Bret Sommers and we’ll be bringing you all the action as UW hosts UNO. Stay tuned all night as we’ll be live to the very end of the game.
Last weekend the Badgers shocked then-No. 5 North Dakota, sweeping the Fighting Sioux at home and improving to 3-3 on year.  This is only the mavericks second year in the WCHA, but head coach Mike Eaves is very familiar with UNO head coach Dean Blais. Last year, the Badgers were swept by the Mavericks in their first two meetings. Despite the sweep, the Badgers hold a 5-2-0 advantage between the two schools. UNO also has a 3-3 record on the season and the Badgers are only the second WCHA team they will face. 

Stay with us all night as we bring you all the action live, from the Kohl Center.
