Time for some hoops! I’m Mike Fiammetta, and I’m here with fellow Herald Sports editor Elliot Hughes at the Kohl Center, where the No. 14/16 Wisconsin Badgers (6-2, 0-0 Big Ten) will host the in-state rival Green Bay Phoenix (4-4, 2-0 Horizon League). After two consecutive losses to North Carolina and Marquette, Wisconsin is especially eager for a win tonight.

While the loss to the No. 1 Tar Heels came in Chapel Hill, N.C. and was hardly a surprise, falling to the Golden Eagles here at the Kohl Center was stunning. Marquette’s certainly a very talented team this year, but Wisconsin had won 23 consecutive home games and had no reason to expect that streak to be snapped against MU.

Nevertheless, that’s the situation the Badgers find themselves in tonight. We’ll be here all game long, bringing you all the action on the live blog below. You can also follow along on Twitter @BHeraldSports. Have a great night.
