Badgers hold off Northwestern to finish perfect at Kohl Center
Posted on February 28, 2011
After watching No. 12 Wisconsin beat Northwestern 78-63 on Sunday to go unbeaten at home for the third time in his tenure, Ryan said the idea of maintaining home-court advantage isn't something he emphasizes to his players -- or even mentions to them.
"It never was in a conversation that we had," the coach said. "All I said after the game was we closed out the home portion of the schedule. Now we still have games to play. But I've never talked about it."
Jon Leuer scored 26 points to lead the Badgers (22-6, 12-4 Big Ten) past a hot-shooting Wildcats team that used 3-pointers to stay in the game.
Wisconsin went 16-0 at the Kohl Center this season -- the third time in 10 seasons under Ryan that the Badgers were untouchable on their home court.
