The #23 ranked Badgers open their season at the Kohl Center Sunday against Southeastern Louisiana. Tip off is at 1:00 PM CT, and the game is not being televised, but you can listen on the Badger Radio Network.
The Opposition
The Southeastern Louisiana Lions, a member of the Southland Conference, finished last season with a 12-17 record. This year they return four starters from last years squad. They are coached by Jim Yarbrough, now in his 8th season as coach of the Lions. Southeastern Louisiana has been to the NCAA tournament once in 2005.

MADISON, Wis. For a fleeting moment that surely felt like much longer, Mike Bruesewitz wondered if he would ever play basketball again. He lay on the court with a horrifying gash across his right leg, bone protruding through a pool of blood, just days before he was supposed to begin his senior season at the University of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin is perhaps the most steady program in the country right now. They haven't missed a single NCAA tournament since hiring Bo Ryan 12 years ago. They also haven't finished lower than 4th in the Big Ten standings in the Bo Ryan era. However, they must face life without their leading scorer and heart and soul of the team, Jordan Taylor.
