Badgers - Wildcats Gametime Moved

If you've been out of the country for a couple weeks it may come as a surprise to you that the Green Bay Packers are in the NFC Championship game. What wouldn't be a surprise after finding that out is the Wisconsin - Northwestern basketball game has been moved up thirty minutes.

Originally scheduled to play at noon the Badgers will now take on the Wildcats at 11:30 instead.

The move is obviously a direct result of the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears playing in the NFC Championship game on Sunday at 2 PM. The exact time that the Wisconsin - Northwestern basketball game should end...unless there is overtime.

Because the Badgers occupy the state of Wisconsin and the Wildcats occupy the city of Chicago the ratings for the game would obviously be low. With both the state of Illinois and Wisconsin tuning into watch the NFC Championship game. Prompting the Big Ten to make the call to move the game up to avoid a clash with the NFL.

So if you're looking for a good way to start your Sunday why not start with the Badgers beating the Wildcats in Evanston, Ill. Could be a good start to a day featuring age battles between Illinois and Wisconsin...
