Jan 12, 2012 - When Wisconsin heads to Mackey Arena tonight the Badgers will be fighting history. Since 1972, the Badgers are 10-65 playing games in the state of Indiana, and only one of those wins came at Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers have won 26 straight games at home. Their last loss was almost two years ago, and the Badgers are wishing for better luck according to Bucky's 5th Quarter:
They are no longer using pump fakes to gain an advantage. Jordan Taylor often jump stops on a drive and pump fakes repeatedly once he's at the hoop. He might be in his own head after getting blocked a few times, but I think it's more a case of opponents figuring out his tendencies. Adapt! Contradict the scouting report!
Purdue is coming off of a confidence-building win at Minnesota on Sunday, and the Boilermakers are still battling injury issues. despite 20 points on Sunday, Lewis Jackson's back is an ongoing concern for Purdue. The point guard has battled a possible stress fracture in his back all season.
