This is not a good year to be a star in the Big Ten. First Kevin Coble, Evan Turner, and Maurice Creek, now Jon Leuer.

This is a pretty tough break for Wisconsin's Big Ten title hopes, as their offense has been very reliant on the contributions of Leuer and Trevon Hughes.

It's also bad timing in terms of the the Badgers' schedule: 3 of their next 5 games are on the road, against Northwestern/Ohio St./Purdue, followed by the return match-up with MSU in Madison.
