UNLV Saturday s game marks the fifth meeting between UW and UNLV and the fourth with Bo Ryan on the Badgers sideline. Wisconsin is 0-2 in Las Vegas. Most recently, UNLV defeated Wisconsin in the second round of the 2007 NCAA Tournament. Current seniors Brett Valentyn and J.P. Gavinski were on the Wisconsin roster that season but were both redshirting. Wisconsin played at UNLV in Bo Ryan s fi rst game as head coach of the Badgers, with UNLV claiming a win on Nov. 17, The two teams played in Madison on Dec. 7, 2002, with UW posting a win. The Badgers are 7-5 all-time vs. teams in the Mountain West Conference. UNLV head coach Lon Kruger is 5-4 against Wisconsin, including a 4-4 mark as the head coach at Illinois ( ). NON-CONFERENCE NUMEROLOGY Wisconsin is (.756) in regular-season non-conference games under Ryan, including 69-5 (.932) at the Kohl Center. Ryan s teams have never lost a home game during the month of November, a streak of 26 consecutive games. The last Badger home loss in November was a decision to Marquette in the season opener.

Under Ryan, Wisconsin is (.778) in the month of November and 21-4 (.840) over last four seasons. TEAM NOTES LIGHTING IT UP: Wisconsin scored 99 points in the win over Prairie View A&M and 85 vs. North Dakota.

TWENTY TRIO: The Badgers had three players fi nish with at least 20 points vs. Prairie View A&M (Leuer 24, Gasser 21, Taylor 20).

BALANCE OF POWER: Through two games, seven different Badgers have already had a game scoring in double figures: Jon Leuer (2), Jordan Taylor (2), Mike Bruesewitz (1), Ryan Evans (1), Josh Gasser (1), Tim Jarmusz (1) and Keaton Nankivil (1).

All of those figures rank among the Big Ten s top 15.

3 DAZZLING DEBUT: In his first-ever game, true freshman Josh Gasser tallied 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists in 26 minutes. Gasser s 21 points rank as the second-highest point total for a freshman in his Wisconsin debut. Rashard Griffith holds the UW record with 27 points in his first game on Nov. 27, Gasser s output exceeded that of Devin Harris, whose 20 points at UNLV on Nov. 17, 2001 rank No. 3 on the Badgers list of top freshman debuts. Gasser then started game two vs. North Dakota, becoming just the third UW freshman to start a game under Bo Ryan, joining Devin Harris in and Alando Tucker in FROM WALK-ON TO STARTER: Senior Wquinton Smith made his first career start vs. Prairie View A&M, setting career highs with 17 minutes, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Before Smith, the last non-scholarship player to start a game for Wisconsin was Kevin Gullikson at Iowa on Jan. 21, The last four-year nonscholarship player to start for the Badgers was David Burkemper vs. Michigan on Feb. 27, OPENING SUCCESS Wisconsin is now all-time in season openers, including in season-openers at home. UW has won all 10 home openers under head coach Bo Ryan, and the Badgers have won 13 consecutive home openers overall. Wisconsin has never lost a home opener in the Kohl Center. UW s average margin of victory in home openers under Ryan is 27.6 points (79.8 to 52.2). The Badgers are 9-1 under Bo Ryan in season openers and have won nine consecutive season debuts. Ryan s only opening-game loss came in his first game as head coach, when UW dropped a decision at UNLV. ON THE ROAD IN NON-CONFERENCE Over the last four seasons, the Badgers are 5-3 in non-conference road games, including wins at Georgia, Marquette, Texas and Virginia Tech. Under Bo Ryan, Wisconsin is exactly in true road contests, including a 5-5 mark last season. WELCOME BACK Wisconsin returns three starters from a year ago junior guard Jordan Taylor and senior forwards Jon Leuer and Keaton Nankivil. UW also brings back reserve senior guard/forward Tim Jarmusz, who started the first 27 games last season. Wisconsin boasts one of the most experienced rosters in the Big Ten. UW features six seniors, including a pair of fifth-year seniors. The Badgers return 12 letterwinners overall, and on average the UW players enter the season with 2.82 years of experience. Both of those numbers trail only Northwestern among conference teams. The Wildcats return 13 letterwinners and average 2.85 years of experience. The Badgers return 59.8 percent of their scoring, 74.7 percent of their rebounding and 61.9 percent of their assists from last season. Overall, the Badgers will be looking to replace 34.5 percent of the minutes played in Wisconsin s roster will feature the leading scorer (Leuer ppg), leading rebounder (Keaton Nankivil rpg in Big Ten play) and assist producer (Taylor apg) from last year s team. FRONTCOURT FOUNDATION Last season Wisconsin was led by senior guards Jason Bohannon and Trevon Hughes. This year, a senior duo in the frontcourt takes the lead role. The senior duo of Leuer and Nankivil has appeared in a combined 176 games, making 91 career starts. The combo averaged 23.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game in LOOKING BACK AT The Badgers made their 12th-consecutive NCAA tournament appearance. UW is one of just six schools with an active NCAA tournament streak of at least 12 years, joining: Kansas (20), Duke (14), Michigan State, (12), Gonzaga (11) and Texas (11). The Badgers won 24 games in , tying the team for the fifth-winningest season in school history. Ryan-led teams own each of the top six spots in the UW record book for singleseason wins. Since Bo Ryan took over in 2001, Wisconsin has posted a (.713) Big Ten record, tops in the conference. Over the last four seasons, UW also owns the best Big Ten mark at (.743). Purdue (49-21), OSU (49-21) and MSU (49-21) are all tied for the next-best records over that span. Wisconsin defeated three teams ranked in the AP top 10 last season (No. 5 Michigan State, No. 6 Duke and No. 4 Purdue). That is the fourth time in school history UW has defeated three top-10 foes in a season (also accomplished in , and ). Over the past eight seasons, nobody has played defense like the Badgers. Wisconsin has ranked in the Big Ten s top three in scoring defense in seven of those seasons and finished among the nation s top 10 five times. Last season, the Badgers once again led the Big Ten in scoring defense, allowing only 56.9 points per game. That number ranked fourth in the nation. DEFENSE MECHANISM UW s scoring defense Year NCAA Big Ten Pts Per Gm th 1st th 2nd st 1st th 3rd th 6th th 1st th 1st th 1st 59.3 Wisconsin was remarkably good at closing games in The Badgers boasted a perfect 22-0 record when leading or tied with 4:00 remaining in regulation. That includes a 12-0 mark in Big Ten play. Wisconsin LED THE NATION, turning the ball over an average of just 8.8 times per game. That mark smashed the single-season school record of 10.0 (set in and equaled in ). During conference games, Wisconsin gave it up a mere 8.1 times per contest. That mark shattered the Big Ten record of 9.3 that UW set in CAREER GAMES PLAYED Player Games Starts Cons.
