Gard gets it done

In December

[forgetful]

Duke will beat JMU by 20.

[MUEng92]

Damn, there are ton of people wanting UW to fire Gard.  I hope this doesn’t catch on.

[MuggsyB]

The Lopes up 7. 

[MUEng92]

Ok, the Badger “fans” really giving Wahl a “don’t let the door hit you in the way out” send off on Twitter.  I assume he was the worst player to ever play basketball for the Badgers based on what they are saying.

He was pretty clearly limited by the injury in that game.

Hard to believe after an Ebola, COVID, and Monkeypox year he's finally done.

Terrible fan base when it comes to their players.  By some.  Loudest always make it seem like there are more.  Wahl was bad last year but injured.  Obviously injured again. He was pretty good for most of the year.  That anger should be directed at AJ Storr

Sadly, I can see this by certain fans here.

Tyson Grant Foster is a freaking stud for the Lopes. 

[Efficient Frontier]

Sigh Gard to a lifetime contract! He’s a Badger through and through.

Badger fans on Twitter say Shaka, Sean Miller, or Dusty May.

[MU82]

Several frauds gone, including Weasels, BYU and FAU.

Shaka pulling a Buzz? Please. He ain’t taking a step down.
Better Dead, than Red.

Love it when the frauds go home. 

Rodents, take the bus back to WI.

That's what UW fans on Twitter are clamoring for.

Pretty sure they have football too last I checked.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Tyson Grant Foster is a freaking stud for the Lopes.

DePaul might have actually been okay if Grant Foster was healthy when they had him

[MuggsyB]

DePaul might have actually been okay if Grant Foster was healthy when they had him

I didn't realize he was at DePaul.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I didn't realize he was at DePaul.

Two years ago, he played 15 minutes in the first half of his first game with DePaul and then collapsed in the locker room at halftime. He needed two separate heart surgeries and 16 months of recovery during which he transferred to GCU.

Wow. I honestly don’t remember hearing about this at all.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

That's the type of game that would really frustrate me about Gard. They clearly were unprepared for what JMU was going to bring, and despite having an experienced backcourt, looked like a bunch of first-years out there. Because to be honest, I wasn't all that impressed with JMU except for their effort. Duke is probably going to roll them.

I can see Duke having some similar issues with the hard doubles, but unless JMU shoots it a ton better I don't see another upset.

The league is also a factor. They haven't played that aggressive of a defense in terms of doubling and switching since they played MU in December.

Yeah the league is a factor, but then you have your four year PG saying this.

Even a remote bit of scouting would tell you this is how JMU plays. And I am sure that Gard knew they couldn't get into a track meet with these guys, but that's exactly what they did. I said multiple times "Wisconsin needs to slow down," and they didn't until it was too late.

Anyway, I know JMU is better than WKU, but compare the difference between how both teams came out after halftime. MU put the hammer down, UW continued to struggle.

[MuggsyB]

I don't think JMU played particularly well offensively. They could definitely give Duke probs.

Who ya got today today in the Creighton/Oregon game?  I hope I'm wrong but I think the Jays have a major challenge.  Dante is terrific.  He erases the paint and has an intimidating presence.

Fluffy, they didn't  intentionally get into a track meet.  They couldn't bring the ball up the floor and looked like a rec team. 

[Uncle Rico]

JMU should have won by 30.  That was a terrible game by Wisconsin.
