Wisconsin showing toughness on Big Ten win streak; Rutgers up next

While his play and his team's form lately might imply otherwise, Wisconsin guard John Blackwell says that not everything is perfect.

"It's not always going to be sunshine and rainbows," Blackwell said. "You pray about things and you imagine things, and it's not always going to be the case."

However, it's currently the case that the Badgers are one of the hottest teams in the Big Ten Conference with three straight wins. They'll shoot for a fourth on Saturday when they host Rutgers in Madison.
