MILAN, Italy -- Mario Balotellis stunning late winner secured a 1-0 victory for AC Milan against relegation-threatened Bologna in Serie A on Friday. Balotelli fired into the top far corner from 35 metres in the 86th minute. The result will be a welcome boost before the first leg of Milans Champions League last-16 tie against Spanish league leader Atletico Madrid on Wednesday. "I think that was the goal of the season," Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said. "It was very difficult to score and it was an incredibly powerful, explosive effort. When you have great champions they can win the match for you with one shot. Im going to watch it over and over again tonight. "Bologna was difficult to beat and we won it with a great bit of play from a great champion like Mario. Balotelli has to gain continuity but he has everything to become a great champion." Milan had the majority of the possession and should have taken an early lead but Bologna goalkeeper parried Riccardo Montolivos effort. Kaka was back from a bout of flu which kept him out of last weeks 3-1 defeat at Napoli, and the Brazilian lined up alongside January signings Keisuke Honda and Adel Taarabt, just behind Balotelli. Bologna had the best chance of the first half though, and Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati did well to fingertip Rene Krhins header over the crossbar in the 22nd minute. "I dont like this Milan side," Bologna coach Davide Ballardini said. "Once upon a time it was a squad made up of champions who would help the team and now it doesnt seem to me to be like this anymore. "I would like to coach a player like Balotelli. He has the makings of the champion, but to become a real champion he needs other things as well." Saucony False .

Cuonzo Martins Golden Bears have won 10 of their first 11 games on the season. Californias lone loss came against top-10 foe Texas (71-55) back on Nov. 21. The team has reeled off seven straight wins since, including a 78-67 victory over Eastern Washington on Friday. Bo Ryans Badgers have certainly looked the part of a top-five team, save for a tough loss to Duke (78-70) as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge back on Dec. 3. Wisconsin has been idle for nine days, but has righted the ship since the Duke loss with three consecutive victories, including an 86-43 rout of Nicholls back on Dec. 13. California holds a 5-3 edge in the all-time series with Wisconsin, although it was UW with the win in the last meeting, an 81-56 lopsided affair in Madison back in 2012. After scoring a season-high 93 points in the game prior, Wisconsin maintained its offensive edge, netting 86 in the 43-point romp over Nicholls last time out. The Badgers shot an eye-popping 70-4 percent from the floor in the first half and effectively won the game in that stanza, taking a 47-15 lead into intermission, before cruising to victory. Five Badgers managed double figures in the onslaught, led by Sam Dekkers 17 points. Joshh Gasser added 14 points, followed by Nigel Hayes (12 pts), Frank Kaminsky (10 pts) and Vitto Brown (10 pts).dddddddddddd Despite showcasing some serious scoring punch of late, Wisconsin is still a team that is fueled by stingy defense. The Badgers are among the nations best in terms of scoring defense (51.7 ppg), while holding foes to just .383 shooting. In addition, the team lives comfortable in terms of rebounding (+8.3) and turnover (+4.5) margins. The 7-foot Kaminsky is one of the top big men in the country, averaging 16.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, while showing surprising range (second on the team with 14 3-pointers). Dekker and Hayes are also sporting double-digit scoring averages with 11.8 and 11.7 ppg, respectively. The Golden Bears have also adopted a defensive mindset this season. California is limiting foes to just 59.4 ppg and holding them well under 40 percent shooting (.374), including a meager .291 from behind the arc. Tyrone Wallace is the teams anchor at the point, with the ability to do it all. He is averaging a near double-double with 19.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, and also leads the team with 4.4 assists per outing. Jordan Mathews (13.0 ppg), and David Kravish (10.5 ppg) provide scoring depth and have been vital of late with a foot injury suffered by Jabari Bird (11.7 ppg) that has kept the guard sidelined. ' ' '
