A return to the Kohl Center is welcomed by No. 9 Wisconsin.Wisconsin hosts Chicago State (1-0) on Thursday night (8 ET) on its home court in Madison, Wis., looking to rebound from a loss at Creighton.The Badgers (1-1) will attempt to improve ball handling and 3-point shooting that eluded them, at junctures, earlier this week.Creighton took advantage of Wisconsin turnovers on Tuesday night in a 79-67 win at CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb., as the No. 22 Bluejays scored 26 points off of 16 Badgers turnovers. The matchup between the teams was part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, a tournament which features Big Ten Conference and Big East Conference teams.The Badgers will be looking for more from their seniors.Wisconsin senior guard Bronson Koenig scored a game-high 21 points against Creighton, but also had four turnovers. Senior forward Nigel Hayes added 16 points against Creighton but relied heavily on perimeter jumpers that werent falling.Koenig and Hayes combined were 6 of 20 from 3-point range for Wisconsin, which finished 28.2 percent (11 of 39) overall from 3-point range in the setback. The Badgers missed 22 of their final 25 attempts from long range against the Bluejays.The Badgers outrebounded the Bluejays 42-27, but lacked success with an inside attack on offense, collecting 4-of-5 free throws in the setback.Sophomore F Ethan Happ, who earned Big Ten freshman of the year honors last season with 12.4 points per game, scored seven points against Creighton. He had four turnovers.Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said the road effort would serve as a teaching moment in the early season.I thought at times we showed some very uncharacteristic handling of possessions where we got disheveled at times, Gard said. But I thought coming here to start the year would be good, that wed learn a lot from this. We definitely will.The next test is from Chicago State, a team playing eight of its first 10 games on the road in regular-season action. Chicago State secured a 97-89 victory against NCAA Division III opponent Illinois Tech on Nov. 12.Chicago State went 4-28 overall last season, and finished eighth in the eight-team Western Athletic Conference with a 0-14 record.Senior guard Clemmye Owens V is fresh off a strong performance in the Cougars win against Illinois Tech. Owens scored 26 points and drilled 5-of-6 baskets from 3-point range. Owens, who averaged 9.1 ppg last season, is a transfer player from Bethune-Cookman.Tracy Dildy is working his seventh season as head coach and was named Chicago States athletic director in July 2016.Dildy said hes eager to see how the Cougars respond with three veterans in the starting lineup. Senior swingman Trayvon Palmer averaged a team-leading 7.8 rebounds per game and 9.5 ppg last season, and senior guard Fred Sims Jr. (10.9 ppg) is Chicago States returning scoring leader.These young men are focused, they are really motivated -- last season really left a bad taste in their mouths, for both of them, Dildy said of Palmer and Sims.The Wisconsin game could be a really big game for us. I think our guys are really looking (forward) to that game. John Stones Manchester City Jersey .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later.

The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. Its official: Its great to be back in Australia catching up with some friends and family, after what was a pretty incredible couple of weeks in Brazil.Personally, I was pretty happy with how we performed in the 4x100m freestyle relay and proud of the bronze medal the boys and I brought home. It was always going to be a really tough event. Its the benchmark event for a lot of countries and it can really affect the way the whole team performs having that big event up front.So it was a big build-up, but I think we were probably on par with how we wanted to perform as a relay team. We went with the tactics of putting the strongest swimmers at the back of the relay and it panned out all right. It could have gone better but it definitely could have gone much worse. So it was probably right on par with expectations.Obviously there was very high expectations of the wider swim team, and potentially some of those werent met. Olympic gold medals are very hard to win; I can speak from first-hand experience about that.Its hard as an Australian swimmer peaking at that time of the year. The way our trials are set up in April, we have to be peaking then to make the tea, and then youve got maintain those high standards throughout a full Australian, winter which is a really tough thing to do. In summer, most of us train outdoors, were getting up early; but its all bearable because its nice weather and everyone is enjoying themselves.But then youve got to go through winter and thats often when things can fall apart a little, and I think that probably happened on a couple of occasions with swimmers on the team. And then theres the pressure that comes with an Olympic Games, and I think a few people probably struggled with that as well. And thats completely understandable. But I think a few more people will understand now how hard it is to win an Olympic gold medal, and you certainly cant underestimate thaat ever.ddddddddddddWeve got to look at our preparation and I think the time has come to follow the United States lead in staging the Olympic trials much closer to the Games themselves. Judging on the results from the past 20 years or so, the Americans swim fast at their trials and then back it up again at the Games; and then its only a month gap so the swimmers you pick are in form.Were picking swimmers in April and asking them to perform in August, and all sorts of things can happen in between times. I definitely think the American system is the one to follow because theyre the ones winning gold medals.One guy who had no trouble performing was Kyle Chalmers. His gold medal swim in the 100 was superb and I had a sneaky feeling he was a good chance after watching him swim in the relay. He was completely oblivious to the pressure and expectation, and was handling everything perfectly. I had a strong feeling that he could go on with it.I think Cam McEvoy was feeling the pinch a little and Ive experienced that myself a bit going in as the favourite; there was a lot of pressure and expectation on him. But Kyle was just in the perfect position and even the way the race panned out, everything worked perfectly in his favour. It was a brilliant swim.All in all, everyone got along really well -- there was a lot of camaraderie within the Australian team. I think the way that everyone backed each other and supported each other regardless if there were gold medals or fifth, sixth, seventh place finishes of whatever, it was a testament to the strength and unity of the team as a whole.We probably didnt havent the same expectations as a team in London that we did this time, but certainly there was a greater sense of cohesion and togetherness on the team this time around.
