Game #158. It’s been another rough season for Tom Crean at Indiana, but the Hoosiers will get a shot to play spoiler against the visiting Badgers tonight.
Welcome to Bloomington, Indiana and to Assembly Hall. Tonight’s matchup features the #10-ranked Wisconsin Badgers (22-6, 12-4 Big Ten) vs. the Indiana Hoosiers (12-17, 3-13 Big Ten). This game is a rematch of a January 20 tilt between the Hoosiers and Badgers in front of the “Grateful Red” at Madison’s Kohl Center. That game ended 69-60 in favor of the Badgers. Any and all fans who follow this game live, on tv, or on the web will be offered free admission to the Jordan Taylor show. The Wisconsin junior out of the Twin Cities is arguably the nation’s finest all-around point guard, averaging a 4.1 assists to turnover ratio and 17.8 points per game. Patience is a virtue at Wisconsin, and Ryan will attempt to make the Hoosiers play a half court game. The Badgers do not take many bad shots. However, easy shots are tough to come by on the road in the Big Ten. What’s more, this is no ordinary road game. It is senior night in Bloomington, which means it is a night to honor Jeremiah Rivers. The senior guard has meant a great deal to the resurrection of the Hoosier program under Coach Tom Crean. Can the Hoosiers walk off Branch McCracken Court for the last time this season with some momentum for next week’s in-state Big Ten Tourney? Catch all the action LIVE Thursday evening.
