Oooooo, SOMEbody is going to get an orange at the end of his stocking!

From Graham's most recent "News, notes, links from the hoops world."

I can't imagine there is anyone reading this who didn't long ago bookmark the Women's Hoop Blog, but just in case that lone surfer exists, do yourself a favor and make it part of your routine.

While we go burnish our egos, I'll take one moment to point to his comment about Wisconsin.

There might not have been a team I was more wrong about last season (it's a long list, I know) than Wisconsin. Even with Jolene Anderson, the Badgers were simply never much of a factor in the Big Ten, let alone nationally. One year later, with few outside expectations, the Badgers are 9-1, with a win against Baylor and Wednesday's win at Wisconsin-Green Bay -- the latter not an easy place to win on the road.

Wisconsin added another notch on their belt today, holding the very dangerous Krystal Ellis to a season low 7pts, and taking down Marquette 67-48.

Note of hi-tech coolness:

Please join Tam Flarup as she chronicles from courtside all the action from today's game between the Badgers and the Marquette Golden Eagles with the Game Day Blog.

The live blog will start at 12:30 p.m. CT and tipoff is at 1 p.m.

For quick links to game notes, radio links and live stats, visit our Game Day page. The game will be Webcast live on and later archived on the Bigtennetwork.com. Today's game airs live on the radio on AM 1310 WIBA in Madison or for a fee on Yahoo.com. Mobile users can view the archived blog HERE.

Fair warning -- if you read Tam's blog, you'll get a Monkee's song in your head.

Thanks a lot, Tam.
