they are who they think they are, and the packers are preparing accordingly as they get ready for the seahawks. tim van vooren's story is coming up. and as wisconsin gets ready to face in state rival marquette,

they've been playing very well of late, winning 6 of their last 8. tonight, the bucks were looking to keep the good times rolling against the hawks at the bradley center. they start to heat up in the 2nd quarter as greg monroe comes up with the steal and finishes at the other end with the uncontested dunk, part of a 16-4 run. the fun continues as defense turns into offense, this time it's jabari finishing with the jam and the bucks lead by 20 at the half. but the 2nd half was a much different story as the hawks storm back, actually taking the lead late in the 4th on kyle korver's long jumper. after the bucks take the lead momentarily, tim hardaway junior buries them when he knocks down a 3 from the wing. the bucks take a bad loss, 114-110 is the final. meanwhile in okc tonight there's a sam dekker sighting, although it doesn't look like enes kanter saw anything but the ceiling after sam throws down the monster dunk on him. the posterizing play could end up as a fox 6 blitz play of the week

way, that stare down was impressive as well mr. dekker. the bc will be a busy place tomorrow as the badgers roll in from madison to face the golden eagles in their annual match up with marquette. look for defense to play a big role as each team is looking to extend their current win streak. "they got a good inside with luke fischer. he's nice. he can finish. he can distribute the ball and they have shooters on the outside. we can't just collapse to him the whole time and not get back out so i think that's going to be important." "we play great defense if they're creative so i think with us being at home i think we'll play great defense again. i think up though." history made tonight in kenosha as deandre johns passed nick van exel as st. joseph's all time leading scorer. he came into tonight's game against burlington catholic just 8 points shy of van exel's 1282 career points. his putback off the glass in the 1st half puts him ahead of van exel. the game was stopped so they could honor his achievement. he finishes with 28 points in the st. joe's win. "just to be in the same category as an nba all-star is like, i mean, it hasn't

about it, it's really gonna, it's honestly a pleasure. i'm blessed, i can say." they know each other well as they've faced each other 9 times over the last 10 seasons, including some post season match ups. so when the packers take the field on sunday, they realize how good the seahawks really are. tim van vooren has more from lambeau field. "the seattle seahawks will bring a good defense to lambeau field sunday. they're number one in the league in points allowed this season. they've won that category the last four years. and aaron rodgers says it's because of who they ball." "their defense is a great defense. i mean, they've got a lot of great players at every level so they run their defense as well as they possibly can." "they got playmakers on all three levels. that's what i see on film. i know where they rank, 27th in third down but when you look at they're number one in the league as far as keeping you out of the end zone." "ty montgomery ordinarily would have been worried about the defensive backs as he prepared for this game. now that he's seeing duty at running back he's worried

"definitely looking at different things. last year wasn't worried about bennett or wagner or any of those guys, not so much. but now i'm worried about all eleven guys on defense." "and as if seattle's defense isn't enough the team just scored 40 points last sunday night in whooping carolina, five hundred and twenty four total yards gained by the offense. in green bay, tim van vooren,
