According to the Badger Blog at JSOnline, UW point guard Trevon Hughes will be a game-time decision tomorrow against Illinois in the Big Ten Tourney Championship. The Badgers are making their second straight appearance in the championship game, following last year's loss to Ohio St. in the final. UW made a furious comeback today against Michigan St., which was capped by a great steal and layup by Michael Flowers.
I'm not sure how much of an effect winning tomorrow will have on the Badgers' seeding in the NCAA Tournament. Last year they lost in the championship game, but still got a #2 seed, and were placed in the Midwest Region. I would guess they're a lock for a #3 seed, and could potentially gain a #2 depending on how some of the rest of these conference tourney games play out.

Could be a blessing in disguise. This could give Leuer and Jarmusz some valuable playing time. At some point in the tournament, we'll need these two freshman, and a championship enviroment will be valuable. I found it interesting that Bohannon led the team in minutes today, as the 6th man.

I think the best thing that could happen tomorrow, is that UW builds a large lead early and then they are able to rest the key players. Even though the Badgers were able to come back today without Hughes, I can't see them making a strong run in the NCAAs without him. Bohannon played well (though I could not believe he missed both free throws at the end!)...but my player of the game would go to Landry, who definintly took over in the 2nd half.
