MILWAUKEE -- As a native of the state, Greg Gard has no problem understanding the significance of the Wisconsin-Marquette rivalry, which continues Saturday morning when the teams meet at the Bradley Center for the 123rd installment of a series that dates to 1917. Red Adidas Running Shoes .Gard has had a front-row seat for the last 13 meetings between the two teams, serving as top assistant to Bo Ryan, but this will be his first as head coach, having taken over for Ryan just days after Marquette stunned the Badgers 57-55 a year ago in Madison.You appreciate the tradition you appreciate the games that have taken place in the past ... just the players that have played in that game, the coaches that have coached in it, Gard said. Obviously you have two programs in the state who have had success. You appreciate those things.The Badgers (8-2) come to Milwaukee ranked No. 17 in the nation and on a roll, having won four in a row and seven of their last eight, with only a loss to then-No. 4 North Carolina during that stretch.Nigel Hayes scored a season-high 28 points against Oklahoma last weekend and is shooting 58.3 percent from the field during those four games.Wisconsins defense has been strong too, holding eight of the last eight opponents to season-low scoring totals and is fourth in the nation with a plus-14.5 rebounding margin.But that defense will be tested by Marquettes talented sophomore backcourt of Traci Carter and Hannif Cheatham while senior 7-footer Luke Fischer is an imposing force in the middle and Sam Hauser has been dangerous from long distance.During its five-game winning streak, Fischer is 31-for-36 from the field and Hauser is hitting 3-pointers at a 56 percent clip (14-of-25) for Marquette (7-2).Its really exciting to play them, said Hauser, a native of Stevens Point, Wis., earlier this week. Its a big game for all of us. We really have to lock in these next two days and prepare and buy into the details of what theyre going to do and how were going to defend it. ... Were 2-0 so far this week and looking to make it 3-0.Carter, averaging 4.3 points and 3.6 assists per game, sat out Marquettes 84-81 victory over Fresno State earlier this week with a sore left knee and is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Steve Wojciechowski.He had a couple knee surgeries in high school, Wojciechowski said. Its not a surgery thing (this time), hes just got to feel better.Wojciechowski will be facing the Badgers for third time in his head coaching career.What Ive seen is one of the best teams in the United States, Wojciechowski said. The very first thing you recognize with them is they have a tremendous amount of winning experience. They have guys who are in supremely key roles that are accustomed to winning. (Bronson) Koenig and Hayes have been a part of I dont know how many wins there, (Zak) Showalters the same.Wisconsin has won three of the last five meetings between the two teams in Milwaukee and 11 of the last 20 games overall.

Adidas Running Shoes Discount . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. http://www.cheapadidasrunningshoes.com/ .
