MU makes roadkill of Badgers, 81-76

MU snapped UW-Madison's 28-game home winning streak in an 81-76 victory in front of a national ESPN-2 audience Saturday night. Behind Dominic James' 20 points/6 assist performance and Dwight Burke's 12 points/9 rebounds, MU pulled away for impressive road win, and now owns basketball bragging rights for the state of Wisconsin

MU looked to take control of the game early, running off to a 16-9 lead after scoring on three straight possessions. That dominance didn't last long as UW quickly settled down and the two teams played the tight game most expected.

MU finally began to pull away when Dominic James broke a 64-all tie with just over five minutes to play, which started a 5-0 run. Hayward, James, Matthews, and Burke were solid enough at the free throw line to secure the win.

By the numbers, James has now put together back-to-back games that show why he's a possible early-entry player in this year's NBA draft. However, when the level of competition is taken into account, his performance against the Badger is easily his most impressive game since last year's win over Duke.

The emergence of Dwight Burke as a legitimate offensive threat is a positive development for MU. Burke managed to find the holes in Wisconsin's front line defense and make several nifty dunks on the slower, taller Wisconsin interior defense. He also managed to hit two clutch free throws with 1:27 to go and MU holding onto a 4 point lead, spoiling Bo Ryan's strategy of intentionally fouling him off the ball on an inbounds play in order to put him on the line.

With Wisconsin's loss, Notre Dame now has the 3rd longest home winning streak in the nation. MU looks forward to snapping that one next February 9th in South Bend.

But I thought you said "we are what we are," and we should just curl up into a little ball because Shumpert went  to G Tech.
