01/17/2007 - Madison, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Winners of 13 straight games, the second- ranked Wisconsin Badgers play host to the Purdue Boilermakers this evening in Big Ten action from the Kohl Center in Madison.
Bo Ryan's squad has been a picture of consistency thus far, as a two-point loss to Missouri State back on November 24th is the only blemish on Wisconsin's stellar record (17-1). More recently, the team moved to 3-0 in Big Ten play with Saturday's 56-50 win at Northwestern.
Purdue should not be overlooked by anyone in the conference, as the team has a solid 13-5 record thus far. Matt Painter is in his second season at the helm in West Lafayette and has these Boilermakers believing in themselves. Purdue evened its conference record at 2-2 with a 67-53 win over Michigan this past weekend. The victory also gave the team its 11th victory at home without a defeat.
This is the 160th meeting between these two schools, with Purdue holding a 98-61 advantage all-time. UW has won the last seven meetings in Madison. This is the only regular season meeting between these two teams this season.
The Boilermakers are not an offensive juggernaut by any stretch of the imagination, as the team is averaging a modest 73.7 ppg, despite shooting a respectable .475 from the floor. What the team does have though, is one of the conference's top performers in senior forward Carl Landry. The 6-7 veteran is shooting a scorching .631 from the floor this year and leads the Boilermakers in both scoring (19.6 ppg) and rebounding (6.8 rpg). David Teague provides perimeter support at 12.5 ppg and is the team's top long-range threat, delivering on 40 percent of his three-point attempts (42-of-105). It was the combination of Landry and Teague that led the team to victory over the Wolverines last time out. Landry finished with a game-high 22 points, hitting 9-of-14 from the floor. Teague was on his game as well, hitting 8-of-10 shots, including 4-of-5 from behind the arc, to finish with 21 points. The Boilermakers shot .565 from the floor in the game and forced Michigan into 17 turnovers.
It was a strong defensive effort that led to Wisconsin's win at Northwestern over the weekend. The Badgers held the Wildcats to just .385 shooting, including .222 from long range (4-of-18). It was a good thing, because UW was off its offensive game, shooting just .436 from the field, including .167 from behind the arc (2-of-12). The team only attempted 39 shots overall, the lowest total this season. All-American candidate Alando Tucker led the way with 17 points and eight rebounds. Kammron Taylor was the only Badger to join Tucker in double digits, chipping in 12, despite hitting just 3-of-12 shots from the floor. It has been a strong defensive effort that has fueled Wisconsin's success thus far. The team is limiting foes to a meager 57.4 ppg this year, holing them under 40 percent shooting from the field (.391). Tucker is one of the Big Ten's stars. He is shooting .493 on the year, and is good for almost 20 points per game (19.8). Taylor (13.2 ppg) is the resident sniper, hitting over 46 percent from three-point range (32-of-69). Brian Butch is hitting half of his shots on the year and is closing in on double digits (9.9 ppg), while leading the way on the glass (6.4 rpg).

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
