The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 7A 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 tunity to be tied for first in 9:00 P.M. the Big Ten and gain more Where: Kohl 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. the michigan BRAND NEW LUXURY CONDO IN- CREDIBLE RENTAL DEAL!!! 1-3 LARGE, QUIET, ELEGANT BDRM.
