INSIDE MEN'S BASKETBALL BY PATRICK HERB @BADGERMBB SCHEDULE (2-0, 0-0) LAST WEEK Friday vs. St. John's W, 86-75 THIS WEEK Nov. 12 #11 Florida Nov. 16 at Green Bay W, 59-53 7 p.m. COMING UP Nov. 19 North Dakota 7 p.m. Nov. 21 Bowling Green 7 p.m. Nov. 23 Oral Roberts 7:30 p.m. Different challenge awaits Badgers in game three UW expects to have hands full at Green Bay hile the UW student body has been immersed in mid-term exams over the last few weeks, the Badgers men's basketball team has been put through its own evaluation period. So far, UW has aced its first two tests ― a neutral-site win against a talented St. John's team and a home victory over highly-ranked Florida. W 58 // VARSITY November 14, 2013 In game number three, the Badgers will face perhaps their toughest challenge yet, taking on in-state rival Green Bay, on the Phoenix's home court. Wisconsin owns a sparkling 18-1 record against their northern brethren. However, the lone loss in the series came in UW's last trip to Green Bay, an 88-84 overtime loss in 2009. You'll remember that game fell just days after UW knocked off No. 6 Duke at the Kohl Center. In addition to a hostile environment at the 9,700-seat Resch Center, the Badgers will face a Green Bay squad that returns four starters from a year ago and is the Horizon League preseason favorite. "We know we're going to get Green Bay's best shot," junior Josh Gasser said. "They've got a lot of talent and experience and they'll be hungry to prove something against us." The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. (CT) tip-off and will be televised in the Green Bay market on Time Warner Cable SportChannel and in Madison on WISCTV. The intrastate battle will also be streamed live on ESPN3.com or the WatchESPN mobile app. BADGERS ADD ONE FOR CLASS OF 2014 ● The Badgers announced on Wednesday that high school senior Ethan Happ (Taylor Ridge, Ill.) had signed his national letter of intent to play at Wisconsin beginning in the fall of 2014. An AP first-team all-state selection as a junior, the 6-foot-8 forward averaged a double-double last season at Rockridge High School, posting 23 points and 10 rebounds per game.
