Michigan to take on No. 2
By H. JOSE BOSCH
Daily Sports Editor
The scenario is very simple for the Michi-
gan men's basketball team
tonight: David must beat
Goliath - or in this case, Michigan at
the No. 2 team in the nation, Wisconsin
Wisconsin. Matchup:
The Wolverines have Michigan 16-4;
plenty of motivation for the Wisconsin 19-1
game. They have an oppor- When: Tonight

national respect. But it'll Center
be hard to defeat the Bad- TV/Radio:
gers, whose 41-2 conference ESPN Plus
record at home tnder coach
Bo Ryan makes them more than just a Goliath at
the Kohl Center. They're Goliath on steroids.
Wisconsin'sonly two Big Tenlosses athomeunder
Ryan have come against Illinois, when the Illini were
ranked No.1 in 2005 and No. 6 last season.
This year, the Badgers have begun 3-0 at home
against conference foes, including a big 72-69 win
over then-No. 5 Ohio State. To make matters more
difficult for Michigan, Wisconsin is riding a 15-
game winning streak, the longest in school history.
According to Michigan coach Tommy Amaker,
ambiance isn't what makes the Kohl Center so
deadly to conference competition.
"Everybody has fans and they're going to cheer
and be excited and do those kinds of things to help
you," Amaker said. "But (Wisconsin has) great
players and they've had really great teams."
The Badgers boast one of the best lineups in the
nation, which starts with senior Alando Tucker,
the preseason Big Ten Player of the Year.
Tucker leads the team with 19 points per game
this season, and is second on the team in assists
(41) and steals (19).
To stop Wisconsin's best player, Amaker doesn't
plan to assign a specific person to defend Tucker
for the entire game. Instead, the job of defending
one of the Big Ten's most dynamic player will be
a team effort.
"We've never been able to play a guy like (Tuck-
er with) just one guy," Amaker said. "We have to
help off with certain guys. They have a very bal-
anced team, so I'm not sure (focusing on Tucker)
is the answer. You have to see if you can contain
him a little bit."
Junior Kammron Taylor sits alongside Tucker at
guard. Taylor notched 25 points and five rebounds
in the Badgers' win over the Buckeyes and is sec-
ond on the team in scoring (13 points per game).
The biggest threat defensively is junior guard
Michael Flowers, who leads Wisconsin with 39
steals and should present problems on the perim-
eter for Michigan.
"With Taylor and Flowers, their quickness is
the first thing I think of," Amaker said. "They can
get after the ball and they can play anywhere you
want to play. ... Flowers is one of those kids who
plays bigger than he is. He can cause damage and
cause havoc in the post."
Tonight's game has the potential to be a water-
mark for the Michigan basketball program. .
Marred in mediocrity for the past six seasons, the
much-maligned Amaker has nothing more than
two trips to the NIT and plenty of grief from fans
hanging over his.
But the Wolverines have the unique opportuni-
ty to not only take a share of the Big Ten, but to do
it at an unwelcoming conference arena.
"That's such a tough place to play and not many
people in the Big Ten have won onthe road period,"
senior Brent Petway said. "Justowinning a game on
the road, and then against the No. 2 team in the BEN SIMON/Daiy
nation, and then being in Madison, ... (it) would be Senior Brent Petway will look to help his team take a share of the top spot in
a big win." the Big Ten tonight with a win in Madison against No. 2 Wisconsin.
