	Here is an article from today in the Captial Times. http://www.madison.com/tct/sports/uw/281595 The Badgers will be playing ON THE ROAD at Virginia Tech on Dec. 1st, 2 days after playing at home vs. UW-Milwaukee. Yet again, the Badgers get hosed on their matchup. While Virginia Tech isn't North Carolina or Duke, they are a good basketball team that returns many of their starters next year. The badgers have had the fewest home games of any team in the challenge over the last 10 years.

	The badgers have had the fewest home games of any team in the challenge over the last 10 years. It's worse than that Elecloux7. Because of neutral games and because of off years a number of teams have only had 3 home games. But, since the Badgers have only had one neutral game and because they have participated every year, they have also had the most true road games of any team in the challenge. UW will now have had 6 true road games. At the same time MSU, Illinois, OSU, and Duke will have had 3 true road games. Seems fair.

	V Tech is is a good team with a very good coach in Seth Greenberg. It's a shame that the Badgers are on the road again, but they are playing a beatable team. I don't understand several of the matchups. What's with the Ohio State game.

	I would like to point out that the Badgers' record in the challenge should be 4-5. The game at Wake Forest, which was a three point loss, would have been a win had Tucker not taken a shot to the face and suffered a broken nose. You could tell how different a player he was after that, and had he played at the same level the entire game as he did before the injury I guarantee the Badgers would have gotten a win.

	I would like to point out that the Badgers' record in the challenge should be 4-5. They could very well have two more wins beyond the one you reference with Wake Forest. They outplayed Maryland on the road and wound up losing in overtime. I remember a little home cooking down the stretch of that game. A kid by the name of Caner-Medley got away with bloody murder. UW was also up by like 20 points at Georgia Tech in Bo Ryan's first season and they found a way to lose. I think maybe one or both of these would have been wins had they been played in Madison but apparently there is some rule against playing a challenge game at the Kohl Center.

	It seems it may be a rule because they all know nobody can come into the kohl center in decer and win id love to see a uw unc matchup in Madison.

	I personally wanted the Badgers to get another shot at Duke. There is no reason the Badgers should have been blown out like that, and would have loved Duke coming to the Kohl Center. Still, if the Badgers can pull out the win, it will prove to be a very nice resume builder for them.

	The few entries on the Hokies message board regarding the upcoming game reflect the well deserved respect the Badgers have earned.
