Badgers should look to Landry

Marquette forward Lazar Hayward just picked up his second and third fouls in a 32-second span, meaning that someone else will have to match up with Marcus Landry.

Right now, that job is falling on the hands of swingman Wes Matthews, who had to do something similar last year against Alando Tucker when Jerel McNeal got into foul trouble. Matthews struggled, Tucker went off for 28 points, and the Badgers won the game.

Now, Landry isn't the same player Tucker was, but it's still an advantage the Badgers may want to explore over the next few possessions.

Marquette leads 33-32 with 3:59 left in the first after a Brian Butch 3-pointer.
