The Badgers, now 2-0, barely got by a tough Eastern Kentucky team in double overtime last night. I was listening to the game on 101.5 FM, which sporadically went in and out – presumably from satellite interference. Evidently, the score board was wrong several times, which started to cusfuse, and frustrate, Matt Lepay.

Overall, it was tough to listen to… there seemed to be many times when we should’ve pulled away, but at least we ended up on the W side of things – unlike Michigan State and Marquette!

Here’s the box score from UW Badgers:
