Topper has already tweeted #metoo. Somehow that vermin made it inside his back bathroom. Clorox ran out of bleach after that incident.

Some fuel for the fires of Badger hatred:
. I expect us to beat Marquette handily on Saturday and for Happ to have 25-30 points. They’re using Heldt (a poor man’s Illikainen) at center and Hauser (a less physical Van Vliet) at “power forward”. I’m not sure it ever made it here, but their starting point guard, Cheatum, quit the team last week.
That's Eric the Red's take on our team. A few numbers:
Heldt: 5.3 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 1.2 apg, 0.2 spg, 1.3 bpg, .615 eFG%
Illikainen: 0.5 ppg, 0.7 rpg, 0.3 apg, 0.0 spg, 0.0 bpg, .750 eFG% (1-2 with a 3P)
Hauser: 12.9 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 2.4 apg, 0.8 spg, 0.8 bpg, .633 eFG%
Van Vliet: 5.1 ppg, 2.1 rpg, 0.1 apg, 0.1 spg, 0.4 bpg, .542 eFG%

Just the worst. Isn’t Van Vliet only good for his offense too? The little I know about him is that if Wojo ran a Scooper out there, he/she could probably put up 20 on Van Vliet.

Cheatum, starting PG wtf :P

How about this. "I will lose it if a badger goes for the Rowsey shot fake, jump into the defender move from 25 feet." Someones been watching The Thing.

It should be offender, not defender.

It's there, in his thread about the Temple game

For as much as Wisconsin has been losing, theyre still a top 50 kenpom team. Hopefully MU comes prepared ala Vermont.

They are, though I'm sure much of that is still impacted by last year's numbers. Regardless, this game has me nervous. Happ will get his and if their shooters are hitting they'll be tough. They still play defense and slow it down which should keep it close.
We're the better team, have been more consistent (amazingly), and based on play this year should have the edge, but it's still Bucky on the road.

I mean, it is not out of the realm of possibility for the badgers to beat us handily at home, but those comparisons are ridiculous. Hauser "as a PF" is, outside of happ, better than everyone on their team by a mile.
-
Also let it be know that Eric the Red is the guy who was 100% certain on Joey to UW up until the second he committed. The guy is clearly a clown.

Disagree. Their offense and defense suck big time. The Warriors will kill them. I hope it's a big blow out.

Will be interesting to see where the line is. I can't believe Marquette would be favored. My guess is that the Badgers will be favored by at least 2.5 points.
You can make a lot of money in Vegas if you really believe the Badgers are not good.

Seen them play twice on tv this year and they really suck. Not even Happ looked any good, unfortunately we do not have a defender with size that can keep up with him. Hauser is probably the best answer, but it’ll hurt on the offensive side. I think we beat them by close to double digits if we play to potential. We lose if we play like EIU or Georgia games.

I had a guy on my floor freshman year who was like that. No one found it amusing. He had wanted to go to Wisconsin, was obsessed with all things Bucky long before there was a reason to be, and his dad made him go to Marquette.

Can confirm. When my wife and I talkes about trivial things like dinner plans we did worse against kstate. But when I focused my cheering we held a 15 pt lead.

So what are the key objectives to securing this win? Markus isn't going to be able to shoulder to load every game. My thoughts are below.
1. Keep a steady rotation of Morrow, Theo, Heldt, and maybe Joey pressuring Happ, we need to wear him down.
2. We can't double team Happ because he is a fantastic passer and will find the open guy.
3. We need Sam to be dialed in.
4. Markus needs to play within the flow of the game (did a great job of this against K-state)
5. Keep our hands/forearms down, we know Becky will flop.
Thoughts?

Keep Trice off the 3 point line.
-
Don't worry if Theo and Ed foul out, unless it is early. We will need them to play aggressive and hope for a few calls to go against Happ. I will gladly trade those 10 fouls for 4 fouls by Happ and know that Markus can draw a few on him as well

Happ also turns the ball over against double teams. When Iverson and Reuvers are in, use Sam and Joey to double team. Change up when and where the double team come from.
When Ford and another shooter comes in off the bench, no double teams.
Zero help off Trice.
-
Personally, I love the match up for MU. Given MU's half court defense, if Bucky wants to slow it down and make it a half court game I love that. Given our size other than Markus(who still plays big) their guards posting up shouldn't be as much of a concern as years past.

#5. Agree. If Markus gets one of these early and one up top on D....that maybe a recipe that will be detrimental to our success.

I don’t see it. And I’m usually very optimistic but I rewatched the Kstate game and we played really well. But also, Bucky is KILLING it from 3 lately. And Kstate had plenty and plenty of open 3 looks. If they hit 40% like we know UW can we could be in for big trouble.

Teams that have the length and quickness to extend the defense, and come at Markus off the high ball screens have taken MU out of their flow. Specifically IU, and KSU in the first 10 mins. I don't think UW has that capability.
That said, I worry about their shooters getting hot if MU doubles the post. Should be a tight game, but one I expect UW will eek out.

I don’t see it. And I’m usually very optimistic but I rewatched the Kstate game and we played really well. But also, Bucky is KILLING it from 3 lately. And Kstate had plenty and plenty of open 3 looks. If they hit 40% like we know UW can we could be in for big trouble.
But I also have to think part of the gameplan was to concede some of those 3s since KSU is an abysmal 3P shooting team.

KS was shooting 30% from 3 prior to the MU game. So not great. Tho in one game they shot 50%.

Maybe an assumption on my part, but that was part of the game plan because KSU does not shoot it well from 3. I think we throw Theo, Morrow, and Heldt(who did a good job against Happ last year) at Happ one on one and stay with the shooters and I think we can limit Bucky's offense. When Happ's out, double from the weakside.
-
Personally, I love the match up for MU. Given MU's half court defense, if Bucky wants to slow it down and make it a half court game I love that. Given our size other than Markus(who still plays big) their guards posting up shouldn't be as much of a concern as years past.
I'm not sure I agree with this take- that slowing it down works in our favor. UW will certainly slow it down, that's what they've done for the last 20+ years. Our defense is certainly better this year but let's not act like we're Virginia or Michigan here.
I definitely would not double Happ. He's too good of a passer and will find the open shooter or cutter. You're better off to just guard him one on one and live with the fouls, and make him earn it at the FT line. From what I've seen of UW this year Trice and Happ have been good in the pick and roll which worries me some because we have had trouble stopping that in the past.
I think UW will have trouble guarding Howard- like pretty much everyone. Trice is OK defensively and pretty quick, but he's small and not a crazy type athlete. It will be a very competitive game, I think.
-
So what are the key objectives to securing this win? Markus isn't going to be able to shoulder to load every game. My thoughts are below.
1. Keep a steady rotation of Morrow, Theo, Heldt, and maybe Joey pressuring Happ, we need to wear him down.
2. We can't double team Happ because he is a fantastic passer and will find the open guy.
3. We need Sam to be dialed in.
4. Markus needs to play within the flow of the game (did a great job of this against K-state)
5. Keep our hands/forearms down, we know Becky will flop.
Thoughts?
Offense: Drive, drive, drive. Go inside at Happ. He's fouled out twice and had 3+ fouls in each of their past 5 games. Ed, Theo, Sam, and Joey can all draw fouls on him if they are aggressive. If Howard gets on Davison, do a start-and-stop to get the dive. Let the refs see it. UW doesn't turn it over much, so don't gamble on steals. Use Chartouny and go for the best look. Make the extra pass. Be patient. Trying to run on this team isn't going to work.
Defense: Single Happ. Force him to beat you one-on-one. And make fouls count. Hit him so that the ball isn't going in the basket. He'll likely miss the FTs anyway. Don't foul guys other than Happ, the rest of them will hurt you at the line. Keep a hand in Trice's face, no one else will consistently beat you from three. Defend for all 30 seconds. Can't get lazy at the end of the shot clock.
-
Hopefully this is one of those games where Pritzl is a complete stiff and not one where he comes off the bench and hits five 3s. Seems to be one or the other with him.
-
good point on the Happ fouling Brew...didn't know those stats. He is aggressive so Theo might draw that out.
We definitely beat a Happ-less UW (pun not intended but it works :) )
One of the few good things about the Ellenson year was beating UW.

Did i just spend 15min reading Henry Rollins quotes and watching some of his spoke word? yep. Am i better for it? hell yea.

Looks like Davison bumped his tailbone or tweaked his lower back late in the game. He did re-enter the game, but looked a step slower.
Guess how he did it? Yep, by FLOPPING! His backside has sure gotten a workout so far this season. His tailbone has got to be bruised from over use.
Can't believe Rutgers didn't Hack-a-Happ at the end of that game. The one time they did, they screwed it up by getting a Flagrant-1. Of course, Happ clanked both FT's, but the Badgers got the ball back because of the Flagrant.

Plenty of UW fans sell their tickets to MU fans. I've been to the last 5 or 6 games in Madison. The same person has sold me the tickets every year, for face value no less. But I guess UW should pull their tickets. ::)

Yeah, pull their tickets... thats a good way to keep STH's as fans.
Personally, I have to sell my tickets this year because I had many unforseen bills this year and it is the only way I could justify the expense of being a STH. I try my best to find an MU fan at a market price... but if it comes down to selling them on ticketmaster it is out of my hands at that point. Hopefully an MU fan steps up. If you were to pull my tickets because of that, you'd lose a fan who attends every single other home game. Even when I get upgraded tickets to a game, like last night for example, I still find MU fans to keep my seat warm.
So you'd rather lose a STH than have one game where my tickets may or may not be bought up by a UW fan?
-

Just curious......how can they tell?
Do they look in the seats and see if they are wearing red?
Do they find the mailing address of the email account of the ticket recipient and investigate if they live in Cross plains or Black Earth?

I was fairly close to the UTEP fans. They were entertaining and were interacting with the student section. They seemed to be having lots of fun with the back and forth. Even the UTEP coach had a fun conversation with a fan about needing tennis shoes instead of dress shoes.
Sometimes it can be fun to have a few opposing fans around as long as they aren't jerks. I don't think all UW fans are jerks.

This is so incredibly stupid!! Its a MU home game and as a MU season ticket holder its disrepectful and classless to wear red. Where red undershirt or something or red at home 365 days a year. Classless tho to wear red.

I disagree. I was choosing between MU and Whitewater for undergrad and ultimately decided on UWW for financial reasons. I'm now in Graduate School at Marquette. Should I have been forced to cheer for Whitewater for the 3 years between graduation and when I enrolled at Marquette?
I never applied at UW and likely would not have been admitted, but it would have been close. I know a few people who went to Whitewater who would have absolutely been admitted to Madison but chose not to go for one reason or another. They shouldn't be disqualified from being UW fans.
Additionally, a ton of people aren't mature at age 15-16. In the school district I came from, if you stumbled in classes in your freshman and sophomore years you had no chance to regroup and earn a high enough GPA to get admitted to Wisconsin. But they can't be UW fans?

Sorry, but this irritates me...yes, she's your wife, and I'm sure she's wonderful..but I don't do "fence sitters" Root for MU except this one game every year?? I have quoted this before and I will again but as a Kentucky fan once said about their rivalry with UL..."You either bleed red, or you bleed blue, there is no in between". Amen. Again, this is supposed to be a "rivalry", but to me, it's the "softest" rivalry in college basketball, at least from a fanbase perspective..and the above is a perfect example. MU fans are "soft". To much like and respect for the Badgers and their fans.
Ask UL fans if they like Kentucky fans or vice versa...Ask Carolina fans if they like Duke fans, ask Michigan fans if they like Ohio State fans...the answer will always be a RESOUNDING "hell no". Their is hatred, and passion on both sides, and THAT'S what makes a true rivalry.

I know, there were a bunch in my section...that's completely different though..in regards to the fact that, they are NOT rivals, and without even knowing a single one of them, they are NOT pompous and as arrogant as Badger fans. Like I said, the ONLY red I ever want to see, is the section that is allotted to family and friends of the program...but when I see Red scattered throughout the arena, that's what pisses me off. Inexcuseable.
I had an extra pair of badger tickets, I do every year, and I will ALWAYS ALWAYS find an MU fan to sell them to at face value..if I don't/can't, I will eat them. I do my part, everyone else should to.

Yes. The one thing this country needs is more division and hatred. (And you are exaggerating too. I'm sure my friend who is a Michigan alum and a tenured professor at Ohio State is well liked by his colleagues and vice versa.)

Sorry, but this irritates me...yes, she's your wife, and I'm sure she's wonderful..but I don't do "fence sitters" Root for MU except this one game every year?? I have quoted this before and I will again but as a Kentucky fan once said about their rivalry with UL..."You either bleed red, or you bleed blue, there is no in between". Amen. Again, this is supposed to be a "rivalry", but to me, it's the "softest" rivalry in college basketball, at least from a fanbase perspective..and the above is a perfect example. MU fans are "soft". To much like and respect for the Badgers and their fans.
Ask UL fans if they like Kentucky fans or vice versa...Ask Carolina fans if they like Duke fans, ask Michigan fans if they like Ohio State fans...the answer will always be a RESOUNDING "hell no". Their is hatred, and passion on both sides, and THAT'S what makes a true rivalry.
Good god this is idiotic. I have a buddy who even went to UL and rooted for KU because it was his home state.
The best part of a rivalry is the little pockets of opposing fans you can call out and talk trash to. That even goes for pro and high school sports as well.
-
This is so incredibly stupid!! Its a MU home game and as a MU season ticket holder its disrepectful and classless to wear red. Where red undershirt or something or red at home 365 days a year. Classless tho to wear red.
Are you in some competition with guru to see who makes scoop takes more this week?
-
Woukdnt expect you to know what classless is
Yeah if I got guru and you telling me one thing, I'm pretty sure I know what side "classless" is on.

Did you miss the part about Mrs. Eng being a UW alumna? She isn't 'fence sitting'.
:o
-
My wife is a Badger alum and one game, every other year wears red to the MU home game......should our season tickets be pulled? She has far more MU gear than Wisconsin gear at this point and is a loud and supportive fan for every MU game that isn't the Badger game, but yet let's go after the season ticket holders.
Don't take marital advise from the guru.
-
What are you freakin' smokin? Eng's wonderful wife is a UW alum. Of course she should wear red to the game and long ago acquiesced that #nored and Eng never would. All the rest of the time she's a dutiful and spirited MU backer sporting her blue/gold in support of her husband's passion. Cripes some of you have misplaced priorities.
Misplaced priorities because i feel she should wear gold to an Mu game as an MU season ticket holder? Thanks for coming on and being the voice of reason and priorities for the board. Step off ur high horse bro.

My resume says “Marquette University (when our USNWR ranking was better)”

Come on, man. His wife, who went to UW, is a MU season ticket holder largely because her husband is a huge Marquette fan. But she should either refuse to support MU altogether or not cheer for her alma mater?
My girlfriend went to Minnesota. She comes with me to pretty much every Marquette home game. She wears Marquette stuff and she is growing into a pretty big fan. If MU plays Minnesota, she sure isn't going to be cheering for MU.

Hey Clown, Eng's wife is a UW alumna FIRST and a MU co-season ticket holder (with her delightful husband) SECOND. I have plenty of friends in mixed Packer/Bear marriages. Somehow they manage to wear their own respective jersey on rivalry gameday, eat from the same taco dip bowl that they prepared for their house guests, and presumably kissed each other goodnight some hours after the game. It's freakin' sports.
So yeah, I'm the voice of reason and you're, well, I'll hold my tongue.

My favorite is all the Whitewater, Ripon and other extension alums that are die hard Badger fans. If you were not smart enough to go to UW, cheer for the your own school. Nothing wrong with following the Whitewater football team.

This.
I'm curious what their strict idiotic rules are for UW alumni who went to Grad school at MU? Should they sit out the game because it's the one game of the year they'd root for UW that one game a year?
-
My wife has been a Hoosier fan longer than I have been a Marquette fan. We survived the game last month. I told her IU was going to win and why. Just like under Crean when I would tell her what coaching choice he was about to make that would backfire. It got to the point where she could call them, too. AND most of her extended family are Badger alum and fans. And we are all able to be civil, too.

I mean, would it be the worst thing in the world to find an MU buddy to go to this ONE game with every year instead?? If his wife goes to all the other games(kudos to her), can't she sit this ONE game out and quietly cheer for UW at home watching it on TV or something instead??

muguru, I assume you attend every single MU home game, right? Because I don't do "part time fans" that leave seats empty for any games during the year. That irritates me... yes we have lives outside of MUBB and sports isn't the most important thing in the world, but you either bleed blue and gold or you don't, and I've arbitrarily decided what it means to bleed blue and gold. The team needs the fans in their seats to make noise and pump them up every single game. If you can't manage to do that, you should have your season tickets revoked.

The hate is strong in this thread, and it's only Wednesday.

This is completely different...MU and IU hardly ever play, and the Universities do not reside in the same state and aren't "rivals". I'm fine with these type of situations.

She goes to support MU for 15 games per year but then when here school plays she should volunteer to sit at home?
If she didn't care about the game, sure that's fine. But if she wants to go she has every right to that ticket.

The coach of my HS bkb team used Davison's 4 or 5 drawn charges vs NC State as an example of how a player can impact his team without scoring.
I have to admit he's the kind of player you hate when he's on the opponent but love when he's yours. I worry that he'll sucker Sacar into a few charges, maybe Markus and Sam, too.
Having said that ...
F%ck him. We got this.
-
I had an extra pair of badger tickets, I do every year, and I will ALWAYS ALWAYS find an MU fan to sell them to at face value..if I don't/can't, I will eat them. I do my part, everyone else should to.
As a counterpoint,
Glow was out of town for the K-state game so I sold his ticket on the Ticketmaster site. I did not speak to the guy who bought my ticket except for a brief greeting when I sat down next to him. I had good friends sitting on the other side of me and spent my time talking with them.
He was not wearing any clothing to indicate which side he was cheering for, but my guess is that he was a K-state fan, because he sat quietly with his arms folded the entire game. That was amusing to observe.

1. Going to games with my wife is awesome because she is an excellent conversationalist and knows what she is talking about when it comes to basketball
2. She cheers for Madison but is in no way obnoxious about it to anyone other than me.
3. The tickets are paid for by both of us, I somehow get to deprive her of the joy of seeing her team live once every 730 days because.......reasons?
4. Yes I have plenty of other people I could take to the game, but I don't like them as much as I do her
5. She is extremely patient with my hatred of Wisconsin and yet every other game she is there cheering for Marquette and happy to pay for season tickets every year, etc. So that "behavior" gets rewarded by me ostracizing her? Want to guess how quickly the option to get season tickets goes away?
5. Shall I also ask her to stay home and be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen?

See now, I'd assume this was a joke. But I believe you also told a story about how you split from your wife (totally fine) because MU basketball was more important.

I wouldn't assume anything. Because I am such a lightning rod for criticism, I am sure I will get criticized for having old fashioned beliefs, and for preferring my women to be "girly"(and that can be interpreted by each individual). yet, we all have different beliefs/thoughts about different things, and that is our right, and those things will not fall under the scrutiny/criticism this comment will...not sure why, but...fire away.

This.

Wear MU colors to MU game and not the opposing team’s.

Cool, I'll also ask her to change clothes when she looks a little too "forward" when we go out as well because I'm clearly the boss of her.
I'm trying to be patient with your yahoos but this is kind of insane.
-
By that standard, having more Marquette fans than Depaul fans at a game in Chicago is inappropriate.
-

And there it is..I knew someone would completely mis interpret what I was saying, and come out with this as their interpretation. I will say this once and ONLY once..I never said (nor implied) women shouldn't be respected or be allowed to make decisions. I simply said..that I have old fashioned beliefs and believe in traditional gender roles. That has ZERO to do with not respecting women..NONE.
Do you NOT know any stay at home moms?? Women can be whatever they want to be..and we all appreciate/like different things in different people. Just because what I look for in someone doesn't fit today's woman(for the most part), doesn't mean it's awful or disrespectful towards women...got it??
-

That being said, if you can't get amped up enough, to want nothing more than to see this shoved up "fans" like Butch Badger, Swenson, ErictheReds etc asses, then there is something wrong. Very wrong.

Long time follower of the board. First time posting. I felt compelled to post because Brad Davison's ridiculous flopping drives me nuts. If anyone can send a suggestion to the student section, I would love to see the "wave" replace by the "flop". A student can start the flop at the bottom corner of the student section by exaggerating a"touch" with their index finger and the flop can spread from there with students falling down instead of waving their arms. In this way, Davison's ridiculous acting job will receive the proper mocking it deserves.
I've said my peace. Carry on with the mostly insightful analysis of MU Basketball. Go Warriors!

This is absolutely priceless, and would be a beautiful sight to see! This sounds like something the MU Lacrosse team would thrive on.

My BIL is former prez of the UW Alum association. He's taken me to the game in Madison for years. He has prominent seats in the middle of the UW Alum sweater vest crowd. I wear Blue and Gold every year, and I keep getting invited back. If he'd ever come with me to the Milwaukee game, he's welcome to wear red.
My bride is a UW hyphen grad and a Badger fan too. When we sit with the BIL in Madison, she wears Blue and Gold. Gotta love it.

Well done young skywalker. Get a hold of the LaxBros. Seriously, figure out who the team captain is and get in touch immediately. I promise you that the whole team will get involved that that you'll have plenty of time to train/practice pregame. This will be epic on the big Fox channel Saturday.

All's cool guru! Just take time to enjoy the game!

I think it was two or three years ago and we played Xavier. I was sitting by one of the most obnoxious X fans I've ever seen in my life (similar to Badger fans). It drove me crazy and makes me understand why guru doesn't want opposing teams fans at the game. But damn did it feel good to win by like 20 and watch that annoying prick sit there with his tail between his legs. So yes obviously we don't want a sea of red on Saturday, but it isn't the worst thing in the world to be able to rub some victory in the face of those obnoxious people

This I agree with 100%...I want SOME there, but scattered, and minimal, but just enough to taunt the obnoxious ones.

If you wear red to a Marquette versus Wisco game at Marquette, then ur prolly a complete A-hole.
It’s really that simple.
-
Bager boards downplaying this game like its no big deal once again. annoying
-
This would be outstanding when Davison is about to shoot a free throw...Students, make it happen!!
Expounding on this...find a Davison jersey..and have someone wear it and HE can be Davison throughout, then..have another student dressed as a referee, and have someone mock dribbling a basketball, into said student wearing Davison jersey and when he lightly brushes him(or hell just look at him funny) have the "official" do the charge call, and the other students can "boo" the terrible call. Someone get a hold of the Lacrosse team, they would 100% do it!

Are we allowed to talk about the actual game here?
Am I the only one that thinks that Matt should start? Stopping Happ is obviously the key. Matt was excellent last year, when Theo only played 10 minutes. Despite Theo's improvements from last year, I still think Matt is the best straight post defender on the team, we won't need him to defend in space.

If anyone can send a suggestion to the student section, I would love to see the "wave" replace by the "flop". A student can start the flop at the bottom corner of the student section by exaggerating a"touch" with their index finger and the flop can spread from there with students falling down instead of waving their arms. In this way, Davison's ridiculous acting job will receive the proper mocking it deserves.
I've said my peace. Carry on with the mostly insightful analysis of MU Basketball. Go Warriors!
This guy gets it.
-
Are we allowed to talk about the actual game here?
Am I the only one that thinks that Matt should start? Stopping Happ is obviously the key. Matt was excellent last year, when Theo only played 10 minutes. Despite Theo's improvements from last year, I still think Matt is the best straight post defender on the team, we won't need him to defend in space.
Matt will see plenty of time. Theo will get in foul trouble and ed isn't big enough to guard Happ without doubling.

By student.....I assume you mean MALE student?
-

I don't even known about that. I've seen multiple posts about how we have 15 fouls to throw at him, and that we should put him on the line. Last year, in 30 minutes, Matt only picked up 2 fouls, and Happ only attempted 3 fts. If you could create a match-up designed for Matt, it would seem that this is it.
-
I think Matt gets his max minutes on the year in the game Saturday. He's not a Happ stopper per se but he's our best match up with Happ defensively.
-
Bager boards downplaying this game like its no big deal once again. annoying
Yep. I'll say again, if its not a rivalry, why do you feel the need to say anything?
They've gotten to play the big brother role since about 2000 after we did it for so long. Hoping we can reverse those roles moving forward.
-
Love this. Seems like the fine folks at @mubbnation could facilitate such an idea.
How about something like when ever Trice is guarding on ball the students(how about all the MU faithful) do a slow rhythmic chant of "Flop.....Flop.....Flop"
Best I could come up with off the top of my head.
Badgers Suck!

I doubt that we'll see much of a change in the minute allocation among the bigs on Saturday unless there is a serious foul trouble situation. Matt did a great job on Happ last year, but Theo and Ed have clearly risen above him in the pecking order this year.
-
I've watched the Badgers a couple of times this season. I honestly haven't been impressed. Single cover Happ, stay at home on shooters, particularly Trice, and make Happ and Davison and beat you by themselves.
They are going to throw it in deep to Happ as soon as they can. If the double comes Happ will pass it out and they will move it until they have an open three. If the double doesn't come, Happ will try to do a post move and score on his own. If Happ can't get a good shot or pass to a shooter the ball will end up with Davison who will try to take his man one on one which he's not very good at but can sometimes get to the foul line.
Put Sacar on Trice. Markus on King/Pritzl. Brendan/Joe/Cain on Davison. Sam on Iverson/Ruevers/Ford. Joey/Theo/Ed/Matt rotate on Happ. I think all that size and length on Trice and Davison will make them ineffective. The rotating string of bigs will wear Happ down. I think we only lose this game if our shooters are cold and we don't get anything going to the hoop.
-
Well done young skywalker. Get a hold of the LaxBros. Seriously, figure out who the team captain is and get in touch immediately. I promise you that the whole team will get involved that that you'll have plenty of time to train/practice pregame. This will be epic on the big Fox channel Saturday.
This would be great. I found email addresses for managers of the LAX team on their website, sent them the idea and asked them to move the ball forward. I am in Florida and not in a position to sell the idea in the flesh, but if anyone can pass the idea along to the right people, I'd love to see it on national TV. Appreciate the feedback.

A friend of mine claims to be a UW-Madison basketball fan and wants to watch the game at a bar together on Saturday. She's the type of fan that doesn't actually watch any games unless it's a big game and wants to do it because that is the popular thing to do and/or if she gets free tickets and wants to post pictures to her instagram account.
I'd like to suggest a bar in or near downtown Milwaukee that is likely to have a majority MU fans in it, without being obvious (so nothing around campus). Any good suggestions where a MU viewing party may be taking place or just naturally will have more MU fans?

I know this is a radical idea and one Wojo would probably never utilize, but I personally think it's solid...you have 15 fouls between Matt, Theo and Ed..every time Happ is in a shooting position...FOUL him. He might end up with a few "and 1's", but I think you can live with it. As we know he is a horrible FT shooter, so you are basically making him forfeit the basket(in most cases) for likely zero points at the line. I mean, it will also serve to frustrate him I'd think, to the point where he might just start passing out instead...that is also a win. None of Matt, Theo, or Ed are THAT important to MU offensively anyway, so if they foul out...so be it. But either way, I try several different people on hm, give him a bunch of different looks, including Sam and Joey, and hell even Brendan for a few minutes here and there(because of his length which Happ struggles with). Sacar will lock down Trice and when he's not in there, Joe can handle him.
-
I have a really good friend who is a UW season ticket holder. He takes me to the game whenever its in Madison. We actually grab a beer beforehand and oftentimes after.
I guess he's a bad Badger fan despite him having tickets since the Fieldhouse days. And I'm a bad Warrior fan for fraternizing with him.

The problem with that theory is that, along with Davidson's flopping, that puts Wisconsin in the double bonus fairly quickly and still ends up with MU in foul trouble. So every OTHER touch foul is two shots. I get it. I do. But unless the entire rest of the team can avoid fouling, it puts MU in a hole.

I HATE this game every year...HATE it...I get so wound up and edgy leading up to the game. And if they lose...HORRIBLE. But, what bothers me more than anything, is always how much damn red is in the building. That REALLY PO's me. MU fans, STOP giving, selling your tickets to UW fans. It's pathetic. I have said before, MU has ways that they can tell if it's season ticket holders selling their tickets to UW fans. I pull their season tickets. I don't care if you have family that are UW alum or whatever. the ONLY red I EVER want to see in our building is the seats they are allotted for family etc. That's IT. CANNOT stand their pompous, arrogant fans...look no further than buckyville.com...You wanna know why I HATE their fans so much?? There ya go, that's why.
This. Plus....
This is so incredibly stupid!! Its a MU home game and as a MU season ticket holder its disrepectful and classless to wear red. Where red undershirt or something or red at home 365 days a year. Classless tho to wear red.
This, have lead the NCAA to take the bold step of revoking our ability to credibly criticize any other fan base.
But what about that Buckyville, hey? some real crazies over there

I think we only lose this game if our shooters are cold and we don't get anything going to the hoop.
Agree with every word of this, and was just talking about similar with my little brother.
Except for a few (very few) double-teams (off a non-shooter) just to give Happ a little something extra to think about, play him "honest" and NEVER double off a shooter.
I do think Matt will get more minutes than he has been getting in this one.
The problem with that theory is that, along with Davidson's flopping, that puts Wisconsin in the double bonus fairly quickly and still ends up with MU in foul trouble. So every OTHER touch foul is two shots. I get it. I do. But unless the entire rest of the team can avoid fouling, it puts MU in a hole.
This.
You don't mind fouling Happ. Especially good hard fouls that frustrate him and don't let him get and-1s. And of course you foul him late in the game if he happens to get the ball when we're trying to rally. But to just use 15-20 fouls on him and get in the double-bonus with 10-12 minutes to play ... nah. F%cky has 2 guys shooing 90%+ and most other regulars are at 75% or better.

I was listening to the Titus podcast this week, and he had Big Cat from Barstool (who is a UW alum) on to talk about the Davison flops from last week. Big Cat made a comment about how Davison is a stereotypical Wisconsin player in that he's not very athletic and isn't from Wisconsin. Hearing that an alum and fan of the program is willing to publicly concede that they can't land kids from Wisconsin made me smile.
I would love to see the Hausers both show up big (bigly, even) this weekend to remind Badger fans that they can't land in state talent.

Y'all can call 'em flops all you want ... and they are ... but as long as they keep foolin' the zebras it doesn't matter what we call them.
Like a few others have stated, I am concerned that he will be able to draw a couple on Markus, who definitely has a habit of using his arm to ward off defenders (a la MJ on Bryon Russell). And Sacar, as much as I like him, is usually good for 2-3 wild forays to the basket that can result in charges -- he is tailor-made for Davison-style floppage.

Agreed, which is why a LaxBro 'demonstration' on Saturday would be so very awesome and possibly even beneficial.

Wojo needs to go to every single official before the game and tell them to "watch #34's feet". He's moving all the time. I do wonder if all the negative pub his "flops" are getting will actually make refs call it a blocking foul more often(which it is).

I absolutely do, but if I'm officiating, and the defender is moving..it's getting called a block...EVERY SINGLE time, I don't care who it is. None of this "sliding" under crap. On my watch, you are completely stationary or you are getting called. That's just the way I saw it. :)

So you absolutely understand the rules, but if you are officiating you are going to specifically NOT adhere to the rules?

Correct! :)
-
So you absolutely understand the rules, but if you are officiating you are going to specifically NOT adhere to the rules?
Because every single official has gotten the block/charge call right 100% of the time?? They also would then not be "adhering" to the rules, correct?? Rules are meant to be broken. How many times did Ed Hightower or Jim Burr, or Tim Higgins miss a call??
Every official that calls a charge on one of Davison's flops, is not adhering to the rules, and flat out blowing the call...that's my point.
-

Does not compute. Saying that people miss calls is very different than saying you'd intentionally rule differently than the way the rule is written or intended.
Likewise, saying a 'rules are meant to be broken' is nearly the opposite of saying that people unintentionally miss a call.

I think what Big Cat meant was UW has had great success stealing MN or IA talent. And talent that is so obvious (he mentioned guys being Mr. Basketball in their state) but the hometown school can't land them. His point is Davidson should be playing for the Gophers but like Leuer and others he's excelling in Madison.

Says Saturday game is needed more by MU.
Says he was dissed on his recruiting trip to MU.
He said On his recruiting trip the MU players beat him and his fellow recruits on the court and he sat on the sidelines for the rest of the night. He thought they should have allowed him to stay on the court.

The SUPER BOWL thing is ridiculous. We played in the greatest conference ever assembled and are still in a better conference, with a visually superior brand of basketball. Our tradition blows them out of the water. Never knew one student or alum who would rather we stumble along in conference, as long as we beat Becky. As a matter of fact, I would rather attend any MU BigEast game, including DePaul, than the annual tilt with Red. The games just flow better. With our improved D, this will be a low scoring affair. Not Dick Bennet or Grinch slow, but we will have to out-ugly the Red scare.

I definitely agree it's a fair article. Though I think there's another facet to the rivalry that gives us the vitrol. MU grads seem to be fiercely defensive of Milwaukee whereas many of the small town individuals that go to UW have a tendency to hate Milwaukee thinking of it as the "big bad city" so we take that personally. Wisconsin as a whole has a tendency to hate Marquette because we have a strong alumni base and it's believed we pass over more qualified candidates for our own. We don't take that hate very well either and take it out on UW.
None of this is from independent studies but my entire elkhorn/waukesha/east troy side has lead me to believe this.

I think a lot of the vitriol if you will from our side is kind of a This is Sparta thing....there are so many of them and so few of us. Plus a sizable chunk of their many are pretty ignorant about basketball so we look down on them.

Heard Josh Gasser on the radio today.
Says this is our Super Bowl every year.
Says he despises MU.
Says Saturday game is needed more by MU.
Says he was dissed on his recruiting trip to MU.
He said On his recruiting trip the MU players beat him and his fellow recruits on the court and he sat on the sidelines for the rest of the night. He thought they should have allowed him to stay on the court.
Jimmy and Jae said he’ll to the no.
Someone probably called a foul on him and he pouted.
-
The Badgers’ and their fans’ role in this rivalry is to treat the game like it doesn’t matter because we play in a “mid major” conference and don’t have football. But they’ll be mad as hell if we win on Saturday.
-
For better or worse, Gasser is about as far away from a Buzz player as you can get.
Anyway, he went from being a preferred walk-on at UW, to a scholarship player to a starter on some damn good teams.
-
I definitely agree it's a fair article. Though I think there's another facet to the rivalry that gives us the vitrol. MU grads seem to be fiercely defensive of Milwaukee whereas many of the small town individuals that go to UW have a tendency to hate Milwaukee thinking of it as the "big bad city" so we take that personally. Wisconsin as a whole has a tendency to hate Marquette because we have a strong alumni base and it's believed we pass over more qualified candidates for our own. We don't take that hate very well either and take it out on UW.
None of this is from independent studies but my entire elkhorn/waukesha/east troy side has lead me to believe this.
5 times more important than a Super Bowl? Oi vey. I know it was sarcasm, but UW-Madison fans will lock onto that quote forever and apply it to all MU fans.
I have a healthy respect for their program. They have been very good the last 20 years. It’s a great intrastate rivalry, go to any Badger board and watch them spend post after post after post how it isn’t a rivalry....LOL.
Here’s to a good game on Saturday.
-
For better or worse, Gasser is about as far away from a Buzz player as you can get.
Why? I remember him as being a very hard worker who would take a charge and usually play better than his perceived ability.
I fully allow that I might be misremembering, however, since I didn't see all that many F%cky games.
I do remember Bilas -- whom I do like -- saying about 100 times that Gasser would be a productive NBA player. Even the good analysts can't get 'em all right.

Do you say the same thing to Packers/Bears/Bucks/Cubs fans when they say "we?"
If you grew up or live in a place that doesn't have its own pro team, and have been a fan of one team consistently, you can say "we". My Nashville brother says "we" when he talks about the Cincinnati Reds, whom he has been following since the early 70's, and I have no problem with that.
If you are a San Francisco native and suddenly start referring to the Rams as "we", then absolutely not.

Careful - you're inching close to the "when is it acceptable for someone to wear visiting team paraphernalia" argument. Though I agree with you on people who bandwagon
-
I still have never heard Big Cat utter the word Marquette. Hopefully he'll be crying about us on Monday's PMT.
He was pretty open about giving up on the football team this year after an early loss or two, so maybe he'll go the same direction with basketball too.
-
I say this every year, but we’re the only “rival” for UW that really thinks of UW as a rivalry. UW is at least secondary, if not lower, for every other Big Tweleventeen team. Minnesota and Iowa have each other, and UW is much further down the list for everyone else. If their fans don’t consider this a rivalry, it just shows they’re lousy fans.

As a kid growing up in Conn., I was a Dolphins fan because they won a lot -- yes, I was a bigly frontrunner. Stayed a Dolphins fan (some might say fanatic) until I was in my mid-20s, when my chosen profession made it (in my eyes anyway) unacceptable to root for a pro team. Nevertheless, I still admired the skill and knowledge of Don Shula and Dan Marino well into the 1990s. Once Shula was pushed out, I officially couldn't give a rat's rump about the Dolphins (and that's still true today).
I rooted for no NFL team until 2010, when we moved to Charlotte. I figured I'm gonna live here for awhile, so I might as well pull for our local squad. That awful '10 team, led by lame-duck coach John Fox and the horrific Jimmy Clausen, went 2-14, but I still watched the games and wished they'd do better. Then started the Cam era, and a reasonable amount of success followed, and I got into the team more and more. I now consider myself to be a "big Panthers fan," who rejoices in the good times and suffers through the bad (like our current 4-game skid).
And yes, when talking about my boys, I often do say "we."
Does that pass the Chickadee We Test, or am I not allowed?

Because he wasn't really an attack off the dribble PG, nor was he a switchable type. But maybe I'm wrong.

I think there's a level of the few vs the many that gets MU fans more into the game, but I'm guessing the fact that it comes right on the tail end of football season is the biggest difference maker. A lot of UW fans are still in football mode and thinking about upcoming bowl games rather than basketball. Since early season basketball is mostly cupcakes and directional state schools, I know a lot of fans who don't really pay attention until conference play.
There's also something to be said about the conference continuity they've had compared to us. Our schedules have changed a lot over the years, and the one mainstay has been UW. Rivalries get built up through the games, and if you only have one team on your schedule you've played year in and year out, then your focus become more narrow. Since UW has been in the Big Ten for so long (100+ years, right?), their schedules have been more consistent. Fans remember a ton of games against each of their conference opponents that can add fuel to the rivalry. I've got to think that makes a big difference in the perspective of the two fanbases.
It's also another great reason to try to get ND back on the schedule. I just love to hate the Domers.

Did anyone here watch the Iowa-Iowa State game last night?? THAT'S exactly how a rivalry game should be, and how I so wish the MU-UW game was...it was incredibly chippy, lots of pushing and shoving, officials had to step in several times. Even a fracas at the end that caused Prohm(Iowa State's Coach), to say something to the Iowa players and basically had to be restrained. Can not forget that a squirmish broke out before the game as well...and you could just see the emotion and anger on every player's face when they made a play, they'd shoot a look or a glare, and you could see them saying "F you" in their heads.
But nope, instead we get the softest "rivalry" game around. IT NEEDS SOME HEAT. So sad that it is the way it is.

Why should a rivalry game be like that? It's 2 schools that continue to recycle out players and unless you're a very good freshman, you probably only play the other team 3 times in your entire career. With the increased national recruiting for both schools, lots of these guys have never played against each other.
It was different in the past when both schools were loaded with in state guys.

Yep, when Wojo was asked to compare it to Duke UNC, he said that the main difference is that you get one shot at UW, unlike the up to 3 times a year that in conference rivals can play.

Ya we should totally bring shivs and crap to spice up the rivalry, maybe go for happs knees and ruin his entire career. This is how a rivalry should be, none of this sportsmanship crap.

MU students definitely need to turn up the heat for this game and Scoop has offered many good suggestions. Targeting Davison in particular should be like shooting fish in a barrel . Some of the good ideas on here:
Doing the flop instead of the wave
Ring around the rosy and falling down when Davison is on the line
Falling down every time Davison's name is mentioned
Reference notable Soccer flops
Oscar statue for best performance in a flop
Point being, it is a great opportunity for the students to make a statement in a big rival game on national TV. Don't let us down.
Arcane Olympic Track and Field Trivia: "Has anyone ever seen Dick Fosbury and Brad Davison in the same room together?"

Why is this rivalry "soft"?
Maybe fans don't brawl from opening tip to final horn, and maybe the players don't try to maim each other, but I seem to recall Henry & Co. going pretty nuts after the '15 upset at Madison, and wasn't it against UW that Markus gave the throat-slash sign?
So no, it isn't UNC-Duke ... but nothing is. And it's not the old MU-ND rivalry. But I don't think there's any love lost between the programs, the players or the fans.
An example of a "soft" rivalry might be MU-DePaul, because they have sucked for so long and their fans have given up hope.
Stop trying to find the negative in everything and you might actually enjoy life a little more, even if you can't find some old-fashioned girl to darn your socks and churn your butter. (So to speak.)

You're good.
And you are "allowed" to do whatever you want. My criteria is my own. Everyone else is free to have a different opinion.
Sort of like other folks' rules about what color is appropriate to wear to a game.
-
Eye'm down wit "Ring Around da Rosie," hey?
-
As to this whole 'we' discussion......
I have to be a dedicated fan, essentially lifelong, or a fully committed local fan to personally use 'we'. In my case that's MU, Packers, and Brewers. I don't use it for the Bucks because I've been a pretty solid Bulls fan since the Jordan era although I do primarily follow the Bucks again for obvious reasons. And I am in the midst of a hockey transition right now. Go Knights! I still can't say 'we' because of my wish for the Hawks to reemerge. Yeah, I know. Not happening.
And for the record, I understand that Sand Knit doesn't care.

For better or worse, Gasser is about as far away from a Buzz player as you can get.

But keep in mind, double agent, that he couldn't make Marquette's roster.

No.
-
My opinion, not that anyone is asking, is that an alum can always say "we". For a non-alum I only respect your "we" if it is consistent through good and bad years. Pro sports teams have no loyalty so say "we" if you want, but they'll probably leave you in the end.
-
No....We implies you play for the team, or in somehow have a management/ownership stake in it. As a fan, "we" should never be used. It's "they" or "MU" or whoever you are referencing.
-
As far as the “we” thing goes. I think it is impportant to be careful. We are just fans. None the less, the there are times when I have to use it for MU basketball and Cubs baseball. I am not delusional. I know I have nothing to do with either. However, I live and breath both for large portions of the year and as a fan I think I am part of the royal “we” for both.
-
No....We implies you play for the team, or in somehow have a management/ownership stake in it. As a fan, "we" should never be used. It's "they" or "MU" or whoever you are referencing.
Well, as we have been saying in the chant for decades and decades, "We are Marquette."
And I am part of "we."
But since you seem to rag on the Warriors most of the time, anyway, you can call our alma mater's basketball team whatever you want.
-

We is fine for fans. The team says they need US. That WE are a family. WE are in it together. That WE influence the game, thus WE are part of the team. The 12th man in football, the 6th man in basketball. Fans are part of the team in an extended fashion.

For a lot of us here who are alumni and students "we" are a part of the MU community this "we" saying "refers to Marquette as a whole. For the fan who enjoys MU but isn't actuall affiliates saying "we" could only imply they have a position on the basketball team. So I wouldn't expect you to understand the difference
-

He got to see two chips also, and it added to his trophy case.
Still, after some recent comments dissing the importance of PGATour caddies, I’m no longer a fan.
-
Hell, neither of my kids went to Marquette but they have loved Warriors hoops all their lives. They call MU "we," and I sure as heck don't discourage that.
We are (clap-clap) Mar-quette!
-
Sorry, but this irritates me...yes, she's your wife, and I'm sure she's wonderful..but I don't do "fence sitters" Root for MU except this one game every year?? I have quoted this before and I will again but as a Kentucky fan once said about their rivalry with UL..."You either bleed red, or you bleed blue, there is no in between". Amen. Again, this is supposed to be a "rivalry", but to me, it's the "softest" rivalry in college basketball, at least from a fanbase perspective..and the above is a perfect example. MU fans are "soft". To much like and respect for the Badgers and their fans.
Ask UL fans if they like Kentucky fans or vice versa...Ask Carolina fans if they like Duke fans, ask Michigan fans if they like Ohio State fans...the answer will always be a RESOUNDING "hell no". Their is hatred, and passion on both sides, and THAT'S what makes a true rivalry.
I looked at a couple pages and didn’t see anyone say this to you yet so allow me to. Stfu. Seriously. Just stfu.
-
The coach of my HS bkb team used Davison's 4 or 5 drawn charges vs NC State as an example of how a player can impact his team without scoring.
I have to admit he's the kind of player you hate when he's on the opponent but love when he's yours. I worry that he'll sucker Sacar into a few charges, maybe Markus and Sam, too.
Having said that ...
F%ck him. We got this.
There’s a difference between playing sound defense and drawing legitimate offensive fouls and flopping. Flopping isn’t playing the game the way it’s meant to be played and I have no respect for it whether they’re on my team or not
-
I would love Wojo to say something along the lines of ..."I played defense. HE flops!"

Reuvers is very talented. But as we saw in Buzz's last year, good big guys without guard play = almost nothing

I think Markus has a monster game. He deferred tonight, but UW doesn't have anyone who can bother him as much as Purdue did.

I'm not too worried. Those guys can't create for themselves, are a defensive liability, and are selfish (i.e. not team players).

Yep. Bad players, bad actors and bad people. Not worthy of a program like ours and a coach with Wojo's resume'. They're where they belong now - much more suited for mid/low majors like MSU and UVA and unproven coaches like Izzo and Bennet.
The stupidity of some on this board is as astonishing as it is sad.

Yep.
I disagree with you a little on the "blame" part of it Lenny, as I am more likely to say the Hausers were at least as much at fault as Wojo, and much more than Markus.
However, those who actually believe that Sam Hauser wouldn't help this team ... did they learn basketball by watching 4-year-olds in the driveway?

It's their arena. But we own the road. Let's make it three in a row at Wisconsin.

Former Badger Aaron Moesch was mad he wasn't tagged and predicted a 20 point Badger win this weekend.
He is now tagged in the comments per his request.

I don't understand uw-extension madison fan's obsession that Potter would be some huge difference maker in this game. I understand that he's a big body that has high major experience, but him and his 4 ppg last year just don't move the needle in my eyes. In terms of big that are unavailable, I would much rather have Jayce (probably at least partially my bias speaking).

The Wisconsin Badger (Taxidea taxus). Last seen anywhere near the top of the Big 10 conference three years ago. Today widely considered at risk of extinction.

This isn’t even me trying to be petty, I honestly don’t even remember Aaron Moesch in the slightest. Even after seeing his name/face I still don’t remember him playing for them.

Yep. Bad players, bad actors and bad people. Not worthy of a program like ours and a coach with Wojo's resume'. They're where they belong now - much more suited for mid/low majors like MSU and UVA and unproven coaches like Izzo and Bennet.
The stupidity of some on this board is as astonishing as it is sad.
Why are you allowed to be sarcastic and others aren't? Relax Lenny, you're a little too wound up for a Friday going into Bucky weekend.

Guy on the UW board thinks this is our Super Bowl He thinks that we don't care about winning a tournament game in would just prefer to win this one this is the most important game of the season this is all that matters am I right guys silly

Remember the year they lost 100-0 against tOSU in the B1G Bowl and their excuse for losing to MU was their band was in Indy for the football game?
-

I get the meaning of what you are saying but
Counting 2012 and up MU has 4 UW Wins and 5 NCAA Wins
Counting 2013 and Up MU has 3 UW Wins and 3 NCAA Wins Go Marquette!

These rivalries fascinate me. Grown adults hating another school or team for no rational reason. I get rivalries where it's just non serious trash talk for fun. But some idiots take it way to far. Some morons on this board are good examples. When I was kid I got into and hated the rival school but now I'm like ok were rivals I guess.. but like I dont really have anything against them. Like I why would I? Idi maybe someone can change my mind here but this rivalry horse s hit is just childish garbage from alot of people throughout all sports. I've seen people hurl disgusting insults at people wearing the other team's Jersey all in the name of it's a rivalry and its pathetic. Am I crazy here?

Why the hell do I see so many Badgers fans talking about this Micah Potter guy who is sitting out , like hes the next LeBron James?
Dude is 6'9 and shoots like mid 40% from the floor for 4 ppg over two years.

Sounds a bit like Froling. He had really similar stats to Potter and I remember many here thought he’d be a huge difference maker and all he needed was a fresh start.

In Miltown most of the UW grads are insufferable, so I’m glad that for 40+ years I have been a proud Marquette Warrior fan and it’s been a great ride

Looking at Buckyville, a lot of their posters don’t seem too confident about tomorrow’s game, or high on this year’s Badgers squad in general. I’d agree with them. We have better, more athletic guards and the Purdue game showed that we don’t need to score 90 points to win, which hasn’t been the case the past two years. I’d expect something like a 65-62 Marquette win, a real rock fight that won’t be pretty to watch.

I think it’s a combination of them hedging so if they lose they can say it’s a down year and it’s not a huge game for them, like the SB it is for MU. We’re just lucky really that the best player to sit out since Wade, Micah Potter, isn’t playing or we’d likely be 8-10 pt dogs

This surprises me. Your bookmaker knows more than you do but this might be a rare mistake. One thing Wojo has been able to do is win in Madison.

Vegas knows a lot but they aren't infallible. Especially early in the season. Over time (just like at the tables) they are unbeatable for 96% of the wise guys and 100% of the tourists.

Would like to see MU enter a cycle where we are clearly the dominant school in this rivalry again. Would be very helpful to the cause in in-state recruiting.
We have mire talent then the Badgers this year , however winning on the road is never easy. Looking for a monster game from Markus and continued strength from our defensive efforts .

Uneasy about this game tomorrow. First road game of the year, key players who have not been in this rivalry before. Tomorrow may be a day where the Hausers are missed for experience as much as skill.

I was uneasy last night for a reason. Always a tough place to play, first road game, Wisconsin plays tough defense. Their day, hats off to them.

I never thought of it but holy hell they all do. And all from different eras. Steimsma, Butch, Dekker, Leuer in his early years are all sporting the same buzz cut. Was Bo running an ROTC program?

Stiesma and Krabbenhoft, the classic duo of top 40 recruits who combined to average less than 10 pts and 5 boards, together, for their careers. They made Brian Butch look like Kevin McHale in comparison
