Oso planning to go pro
Belmont game wasn't. FSN isn't national.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
It's been a LONG time since we have had a win like this (national television, ranked opponent). Definitely good to build from.
1) We drove the basket and hit pull-up jumpers tonight. We didn't the other night.2) We fought on the boards. That was critical. LSU felt us. Iowa didn't.3) We hit just enough threes to stay in the game with them. But we did not live or die at the three point line.4) Our dribble drives generally looked good.5) Too much sloppy play and too much shoot without thinking.6) Duane, you take another three with less than a minute left and a game on the line and someone from Scoop will cod something mean. Very mean. When will you learn, they're giving you that shot for a reason?7) If Wojo was to blame for Iowa, should he not be complimented for LSU?8) How could we lose to Iowa so badly and then handle LSU as we did tonight -- with poise? We should be 4-0.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.
OK, it was a nice win, but we beat an over-rated team that was basically playing pick-up ball. LSU had no D at all, lots of bad shots, complete lack of offensive discipline, and one amazing player in Simmons. Their coach did only one element of coaching during the whole game - installing the press - and it worked well against freshmen guards. It goes in the books as a win against a ranked team... but we will see better teams and much better coaching in the BEAST.
I don't think anyone claimed different. Can't people just enjoy a win without finding reasons why it isn't that big of a deal? It's the biggest win of Wojo's tenure. Enjoy the ride.
Nattering nabobs of negativism will snatch the last ounce of joy from a game nobody thought we had a chance to win and replace it with the sadness appropriate to the Iowa game.
FSN games are every bit as national as CBSSN, NBCSN, ESPNU, etc... a) quite a few FS regionals carried the game and b) FSN is available anywhere in the country on a sports tier.
Fischer played solid D on the foreigner Simmons all night. Tough matchup for him. Interesting that entire crowd at Barclays center was impressed by Fischer but our own fans act like JJJ was the clean winner for SOTG. I think it was a tossup.Ellenson solid too. I can't believe we won despite him fouling out. Solid win.
We should have worn the baby blues.
Marquette has only five games on FS Wisconsin this year.3 on ESPN23 on CBS Sports Network2 on FOX2 on FS217-20 on FS1 depending on how we do in the BET.22-25 are on networks that you can get pretty much anywhere. 5 reach a national audience but on networks that aren't universal. 5 don't reach a national audience. That's pretty good.
But it CAN reach a national level. You to pay for it, but you can still get games aired on FS Wisconsin in New York, or California, or Texas, or anywhere.
If that RSN has no local game.This was the Belmont game on Nov. 13thRSN affiliates+ = Check local listings FOX Sports Arizona PLUS FOX Sports Detroit PLUS FOX Sports North PLUS FOX Sports South FOX Sports Sun FOX Sports Wisconsin MASN2 ROOT Sports Rocky Mountain (JIP
Last night was an interesting watch for me personally. Having gotten to spend some time with Ben Simmons, and still keeping in contact with him, it was fun watching him play against MU.
Not sure what your point is. Every game is available to those that want to watch it. Most are on "national television". End of story.
