I, for one, enjoy reveling in their misery. I hope they sink back into 40 years of oblivion.

More and more bucky fans recognizing Davison flops:

To be fair, this 2nd chance fell to the Nebraska guy because Davison was also on the floor because of another useless flop.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

Can't see Happ transferring to MU to sit behind Theo, Morrow, Froling, both Hausers, and Bailey.  ;D

I know it would never happen because we have a much bigger need at guard but it would be so worth it just to see the Badger angst.

Benny, can you conjure up one of your fake Myron stories sometime in April to convince a bunch of badgers that Happ is grad transferring to MU?

The Davison flop and win over WKU, may help us if we (WKU and MU) both end up on the bubble...

I don't think Happ would be a good fit offensively.

Bucky racked up an impressive 59 points on 42% shooting.  Happ 1-6 from the line before fouling out.  The lack of player development coupled with the recruiting blunders, I can't see Gard surviving for long.


They don't have anyone in their recruiting class.  Kobe King might be something but that injury will take more than a year to fully recover from.  Their current junior class outside of Happ looks like a complete loss.  And this shows what a great player development coach Bo was.  Gard can't do this like Bo could.

They aren't going to get rid of him after this year.  But next year?  They will push for Tony Bennett.

Agreed.  He dribbles too much and can't shoot beyond ten feet.

His greatest asset was passing to open shooters, so I think he'd fit well. Saying that, I'd rather have an open scholarship than bring him aboard.

A big man who can score inside and is an elite passer? I think he would fit in great. Can you imagine the angst of coaches trying to decide if they double team Happ or leave one of Howard, Elliott, Big Hauser, Lil Hauser, Cain, or Bailey open? He's struggling this season because Bucky has no one who can shoot the three.

But again, this is not happening. No way no how. It's just fun to think about.

If he can move the ball, he would be fine.  But right now he is a bit of a ball-stop.  Maybe that's just the design of the system he is in.

I think it's because his teammates suck.

While MU becomes a top Big East team, annual tourney participant, and frequent visitor to the later rounds of the tourney.   All while playing an enjoyable to watch brand of basketball.     Making our games against Bucky just an annual beatdown, much like UWM.   All while their fanbase lashes out helplessly with even more funny and pathetic accusations.

He really has no good shooters to pass the ball to.

If Happ was on MU, they immediately become a top 15 team.

Tony Bennett isn't leaving UVA for Wisconsin.
I would take the Rick SLU program right now.

I'd say he's a willing passer, in that he does pass the ball a lot.  But he is awful at handing double teams and a turnover machine.  I certainly wouldn't call him an "elite passer."

Why wouldn't he?  They're going to be terrible again next year.  Go play somewhere with a more uptempo offense that will feature you in the post?

Two years ago I would have agreed with you.  I'm not so sure now.

Maybe, why not.  May want to win, has no chance next year at Wisky.  Same players, no top recruits.  Can earn money somewhere.  If he was on MU right now, they
might be undefeated.  You could never double him with all the shooters MU has.  Always can dream,  I can see him exploring all options for next year.  Bo really made
a mistake not taking Sam,  Sam and Joey with Happ would have been a pretty good frontline, then maybe Herro could have been the 2 guard.  Interesting team that
would have been.
