Return to the Field House
Badgers reaching for
improvement
Wisconsin wins three straight at home
A
fter a W-L-W-L-W-L
trend to start the season,
the Badgers have won their
last three games.
Wisconsin���s 6-3 start is the
best since 2009-10 when the
team was 7-2. Unbelievably,
the Badgers need only three
more wins to equal their victory total from last year (9).
The Badgers have turned
54 �� VARSITY
D EC E M B E R 13, 2012
the season around despite
having several players out
due to injury. Wisconsin
beat Florida Atlantic, 82-73,
in overtime on Monday with
only seven players seeing action. UW has also won with
balanced scoring. Four players have scored 10 or more
points in the last two games.
�� The Badgers return to the UW Field
House to play a regular season
game for the first time since 1998
when they host Eastern Illinois on
Saturday. Wisconsin takes on the
Panthers in the Barn due to winter
commencement in the Kohl Center.
Tickets for the game are only $3
for a reserved seat and $1 for general admission tickets. Alumnae have
also been invited back and will be
introduced at halftime.
We like it at home
�� The Badgers play much better in
the confines of the Kohl Center, as
they are 5-1 at home this season.
All of the team���s season highs and
nearly all of the individual season
highs have been set at home.
Wisconsin averages 23 more
points per game and pulls down
nearly six more rebounds per game
at home than on the road.
