Taylor regaining top form in Big Ten play
MADISON, Wis. If anything inherently different exists about the way in which Wisconsin point guard Jordan Taylor has played lately, Bo Ryan doesn't detect it.
Ryan, the Badgers' 11th-year coach, still sees a senior leader trying to involve teammates in the offense. He still sees a feisty individual unafraid to take the big shot in key moments.

Badgers gain momentum with win over Illini
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- Nothing much was working for Wisconsin's Jordan Taylor early in Sunday's game.
The Badgers guard struggled with his offense and headed to the locker room at halftime with five points on 2-of-6 shooting in the face of some tough defense by No. 22 Illinois.
But when it mattered most, Taylor found himself with the ball, driving across the lane as the...

Back in the Conference Swing
Winning on the road in a year where the Big Ten is all but unpredictable? No problem for the University of Wisconsin, especially when senior guard Jordan Taylor has ice water running through his veins. Scoring seven of his game-high 19 points in the final 32.1 seconds, the Badgers scratch off another road victory, this one a 67-63 decision over Illinois.

Wisconsin came into the season pointing to senior Jordan Taylor to lead the charge. While that still holds true, the Badgers have won three straight heading into this afternoon matchup against Illinois because UW hasn't relied solely on its All American.
Recap: Dishing out the Paign
Jordan Taylor scored 14 of his 19 points in the second half while Jared Berggren scored 10 of his 18 points in the first half, as Wisconsin breaks a 10-game road losing streak against ranked foes by beating No.22 Illinois, 67-63, Sunday afternoon at Assembly Hall.
Videology: Bruce Weber imploring team to play defense
Defense has long been a hallmark of Bruce Weber coached teams. Entering today's game with Wisconsin (the Illini lost 67-63 at home) Illinois was ranked 21st in the nation, and 6 of his past 7 teams have finished the season ranked as high or higher. Early in the first the Illini held a 9-8 lead over the Badgers, and it was Wisconsin's ball. After coming off three screens Wisconsin...
