Badgers want to win final
home game for seniors
Wisconsin wraps up regular season Sunday
BY DIANE NORDSTROM @BADGERWBB
O
nly one game remains
in the regular season
as Wisconsin hosts
Northwestern on Sunday for
the team's Senior Day. It will
be the final home game for se-
niors Daria Kryuchkova, Mor-
gan Paige and Taylor Wurtz.
"You always want to win
your last game at your home
court," UW head coach Bobbie
Kelsey said. "(The seniors are)
feeling it the most and you do
want to win your last game,
if possible. That's always the
case, with any senior. So we're
going to work hard for them to
get that win."
The Badgers will honor the
seniors in postgame ceremo-
nies on Sunday. The 20th an-
nual Big Ten Tournament then
begins on March 6 at Bankers
Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
PAIGE, WURTZ TWO OF UW'S BEST

reers as two of the Badgers' top all-
time players. Both rank in the top
20 for scoring and top 10 for 3-point
shooting.

points at Penn State on Feb. 16. The

Minnesota on Feb. 12, ranking third

Wurtz went over 700 career re-
