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. Mark Jackson Jersey .
