Well It's almost game time and I'm here just in time. Tonight your Wisconsin Badgers take on the University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin.
For Wisconsin, Brendan Smith is still out with a wrist injury. Eric Springer and Ryan Little form the third defensive pairing in his absence. Freshman forward Matt Thurber is also in the lineup tonight. Podge Turnbull, usually a regular, is sitting.
Game is on televison on My Network Television, and it is also being webcast on UW Badgers.com
In the interest of keeping huge posts off the front page, I've moved the transcript from the live blog here. Feel free to check it out and leave comments here or there. Thank you for tuning in!
