Tucker nears scoring record

Now that Alando Tucker is the second player in Wisconsin history to score 2,000 points, he figures he has plenty of chances to top Michael Finley’s school record of 2,147. Tucker had 21 points and seven rebounds Saturday, leading the fourth-ranked Badgers past Iowa 74-62. Tucker reached the 2,000-point mark with his first basket of the game. The senior said when he looks at his chances to become Wisconsin’s leading scorer, he includes a potential run to the Final Four. “This team is special to me,” Tucker said. “I think we all realize that. Just for me to be able to achieve that this year among this group of players, my teammates, it’s very special to me.”
