I have no passion over Bucky. So I want them to win and be as highly thought of as possible when we play them.

Yup. Cant stand them but I want them to pummel Duke so they thing theyre all high and mighty come Saturday.
-
Better for MU that Bucky wins. UW by 8
-
I want this thing to be a close, emotional win for Bucky. Then I'll pray for a letdown.
-
It's all about the RPI. We don't play Duke. We only play one ACC team. We've played two other B?G teams. Go Becky.
But a Becky loss would be somewhat of a consolation, so really, it's a win-lose from my perspective no matter the outcome.
-
I think you're all crazy. Cheer for the Vadgers? Not a chance. I don't give a damn about RPI. MU isn't making it to the tourney anyway. Hope Duke beats the crap out of them.
Go Dukies!

Exactly. Can't over think this. A Badger loss is always a good thing.

This game is kinda like picking between the Vikings and the Bears. Seriously? How am I supposed to pick this....
-
I’m thinking the MU coaching staff will be attending and hoping Coach K expose a Badger weakness that might help us.
I would rather see a physical or strategically weakness; because I can’t believe the badgers will take us lightly, in light of our Orlando success and be overconfident. Maybe that type of weakness will also get in the players heads.

Well Dekker has been gimpy and ankle sprains are a bitch to completely heal. That may help MU.

I would root for a meteor strike, but my brother will be at the game...

I would always pick Bears between Vikings and Bears, all things being equal in terms of standings etc.
Vikings are satan. Bears are just an annoying rival that you can respect.

If you or anyone can find a strategic or physical weakness on Bucky I'd love to know. A 3OT Bucky win over Duke serves us best.
-
I will be at the game with a Badger friend. A 1 pt triple OT Bucky win over Duke would probably help MU the most going into on Sat but I wouldn't be crushed if Bucky lost.

Dekker's ankle, Gassar's knee. Lot of options out there. Who wants to volunteer to play the part of Tonya Harding?
-
Easy, cheer for the bears :P
Your father did not raise you well.

This post does offer some redemption, though.

Duke. I cannot imagine a single scenario that makes me root for Wisconsin. Except maybe the Indiana game.

This is where not having depth at the walk-on position can really hurt a team.
-

Not even then.
-
I hope to see Wojo sitting behind the Duke bench during the broadcast
-
Cannot recall disappointment in any Wisky loss.
-
This is easy - I root for nobody. Kinda like when the Vikings and Bears play....
I know one of the teams will win, and that makes me sad. But I also know one of the teams will lose, so that makes me happy. No need to overthink it.
-
I'm absolutely rooting for Wisco. Ideally they blow Duke out and come riding into the BC Saturday on their typical high horse then we knock them down a notch or two.
-
I will be at the game with a Badger friend. A 1 pt triple OT Bucky win over Duke would probably help MU the most going into on Sat but I wouldn't be crushed if Bucky lost.
Whatever is best for MU...a hard fought and emotion win for UW would be best. Being out of state, I just don't have the same level of disdain for Wisconsin that many of you carry.
-

Vikings are satan. Bears are just an annoying rival that you can respect.
I respect Jay :o
-
I grew up in Wisconsin - so I hope the badgers go 35-2 every year.
A loss to MU in the regular season and a loss to MU in the national championship game.
-
I'm going to the game as well, with a Badger fan, so no go with the MU gear (I want to be invited again). However, I think I will wear my JFB Bulls shirsey to "blend" in.
-
I can never cheer for the Vadgers. Go Duke!

Just curious, but how does this UW fan have such great seats that it's worth considering that?
-
It goes against all logic, but I want Wis to lose...... no, wait, get stomped.
-
I really never get into the emotional hate of team. I'm a fan of my team and will do whatever helps them. In this case, I cheer for the Badgers since it helps Marquette. I also cheer for the Vikings and Bears every week now since it helps the Packers (either beating the Lions, worsening their draft spot, or helping our SOS). I'm not a bitter person and could care less who wins when it isn't my team.
-
Bucky wins a loss to them looks better and so does a win,
-
If Bucky wins then when we beat them it helps our RPI more than if they loose. Also want Ohio State to beat Louisville for same reason.
-
I would root for a meteor strike, but my brother will be at the game...
Then just root for a small meteor striking Bo straight up the arse. That means it would also hit his head.
-

Hell--he has enough pull--he should be on the bench right next to Coach K soaking up all the pointers he can. Think K would tell him to keep playing zone?

Atta boy, state of Wisconsin bball fans have to stick together (in other words, fans of all the state teams).

Go Duke! Get 'em, Tyus!!

F*ck that.

Both teams are arrogant, but at least Duke's arrogance is earned. Go Blue Devils.

Uh oh. Could UL's rout tonight cost us a seed line in March?
-
F*ck that.
Amen. Can't believe all the crap I'm reading here. Who knew there were so many closet Vadger fans here. Sad stuff.
-
Go Duke! Get 'em, Tyus!!
+1
He's the Key
-
Would like to see UW win it's better for us. I think they will underestimate our talent and desire. We have had 5 guys with 20 point or better games and I think Deonte is ready to break out soon. We just have to have 3 guys on fire at the same time which is possible.
-
I'm supporting whoever's playing Notre Dame in Football and whoever's playing Bucky in hoops. In this case it just happens to be Duke. Doesn't change the rules.
-
Somewhat a win-win situation for me.
Bucky loses, laugh as badger fans throw tantrums and hissy fits over missed expectations. Of course then they probably come into the BC with a chip on their shoulder and blow us out.
Bucky wins, everyone in Madison sips their fruity cocktails and rides their high horse into Milwaukee expecting an easy win. We might have a chance then, so that's why I voted for a Badgers win.

WI Bball fans sticking together to support all teams???
Good luck finding that one on rodent chat lines.
Grew up and live in WI as well, love MU, hate rodents.

Not sure it has anything to do with being a bitter person if you're just rooting against them (if you are angry then maybe). It's just a sports rivalry, and that kinda what makes watching sports fun.
-
F*ck that.
Honestly, after seeing MU fans on here and how they care about the rivalry much more about UW (and take it more seriously than UW) it's a wonder why people on here argue that UW's fans are the ones obsessed with MU. Step off the ledge and just appreciate good basketball for basketball's sake. You don't have to see eye to eye on style of play, you don't have to actively root for UW ever, but denigrating those who do because they grew up rooting for all Wisconsin's basketball teams (including UWM as well) will not help your case.

My case with who?
I will root against UW 10 times out of 10. It's a rivalry. Deal with it.

Not from Wisconsin, don't care about them for more than one game.
That being said, Wisconsin is not good basketball to watch.

Maybe if you were watching their teams from a few or several years ago, but this year's team is multi-faceted and has good talent along with chemistry (whether you choose to believe it or not).

Of course we take this game more seriously than UW, we take everything basketball-related more seriously than they do. I have no problem admitting that, we're a basketball school. There's just as many UW fans obsessed with MU, but then they try to pretend it's not a rivalry.
-
Maybe if you were watching their teams from a few or several years ago, but this year's team is multi-faceted and has good talent along with chemistry (whether you choose to believe it or not).
Yeah, unfortunately I agree with this. It used to be like watching paint dry but now they're a high powered offense. After all the seniors & Dekker leave this year, it will go back to watching paint dry & grinding out a 12-6 B1G record with a 6 seed in the NCAAs but no chance of advancing deep. This year is another story.

This is true, UW is playing some good basketball this year. It's almost non-Bo Ryan-ish.
-

What if they land Diamond?

Question: do you see MU putting down UW-Madison's academics? Nope. They're conference? Nope. The student body? Nope. Go over to the scout board for UW it goes beyond basketball to calling us a second rate school (we're a great school maybe not "the Harvard of the Midwest but a damn good school) they'll call us a mid major conference (MU GTown and Nova have championships, SJU Butler and Seton Hall have runner ups, every team but two have final fours) and they'll refer to our student body as a bunch of snobby rich suburbanites. (Which might be a great deal of kids at MU but I've had many a friend at UW and there's plenty of those at UW to). We may be obsessed with the basketball rivalry much much more but you guys have a weird obsession with putting MU down over there.
-
Agreed, Boxer. And that's not to mention the thinly veiled racism that they let fly when Buzz was beating them with JUCO guys.
Their team is excellent, and the way they execute is impressive. It's their fans that make me loathe their program.

There was nothing 'thinly veiled' about it.
-
Don't forget players parents... they've got a strange obsession about that one too.
-
What if they land Diamond?
That would be great, just think next year about the rivalry and having 2 pretty good teams in the state, not bad. Fisher and Ellenson vs. Hayes and Stone, sweet match-ups like to see it.
-
Im actually rooting for Wisconsin. Thats how much i despise the ACC
-
What if they land Diamond?
I refuse to let myself think about the possibility!
But yeah if they do, it obviously changes their outlook.
Here's a better hypothetical... what if WE land Diamond?? I know there's ~1% chance... but WHAT IF???

In life, it is good to have rules to follow. It makes questions like the one posed initially easy to answer. I have a 10 very simple rules in my life:
1. Never root for Cincinnati unless they are playing Louisville, Duke, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech (2014 Amendment), Indiana or Wisconsin.
2. Never root for Louisville unless they are playing Duke, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech (2014 Amendment), Indiana or Wisconsin.
3. Never root for Duke unless they are playing Notre Dame, Virginia Tech (2014 Amendment), Indiana or Wisconsin.
4. Never root for Notre Dame unless they are playing Virginia Tech (2014 Amendment), Indiana or Wisconsin.
5. Never root for Virginia Tech unless they are not coached by Buzz.
6. Never root for Indiana unless they are not coached by Crean.
7. If Virginia Tech plays Indiana, hope for a tie, or hibernate until news reports on the outcome are no longer readily available.
8. Never, ever root for Wisconsin regardless who is coaching.
9. If Virginia Tech plays Wisconsin or Indiana plays Wisconsin, curl up in the fetal position, suck thumb and quietly sob, "no, no, no, no, no, no" over and over. NOTE: Happens at least twice per year. \
10. Never, ever, ever, root for Wisconsin. Or, Michigan football.
-
I'm of the belief that the Badger fans we all hate, never even attended UW.

Not a bad list, but Notre Dame should be above VT and Indiana on your hate list, maybe even above Wisconsin.

From my experiences, there's a good deal of truth to that.

That is a very real possibility.

It is an interesting quandary. Without forgetting the ND rivalry at its height, I thought to myself, "am I currently more apt to look and see if VA Tech or Indiana lost on any given night or Notre Dame." The former was the answer, primarily because the ND rivalry seems to be on hold. So, my hate is ever so slightly dissipated.
-
I'm of the belief that the Badger fans we all hate, never even attended UW.
They may truthfully tell you they attended UW, but they'll conveniently omit the part that comes after the hyphen.
-
If I had evidence that a Wisconsin victory really would be good for us somehow, I wouldn't be upset or disappointed if Bucky wins.
But that's a far cry from "rooting" or "cheering" for them.
Regardless of whether a UW win would somehow be good for us, however, I'm guessing that when the toss is made for the opening tip, I will root against Wisconsin out of sheer habit.
As for what I'd really love to see happen ...
Kaminsky and Okafor go up for a rebound, one of them throws an elbow (but misses -- I never root for injury) and they start to scuffle a little. Then, before their teammates can intercede, Frank and Jahlil lock eyes, realize they have so much in common despite their many differences, decide they "complete" each other, and walk off the court hand-in-hand. They give up basketball, go to a commune in Oregon and live happily ever after.
-
I'm of the belief that the Badger fans we all hate, never even attended UW.
Yep, those who actually went there are tolerable. Those who like to pretend they did, not so much.

In Michigan we have the term Walmart Wolverines for diehard UofM fans that never went to the school. Walmart Wisconsin fans doesn't work as well. Any ideas on a store that starts with a B that these fans would get their Badger gear from?

Haven't you heard the difference between a fan wearing a Marquette shirt and a fan wearing a Badger shirt? A fan wearing a Marquette shirt went to Marquette while a fan wearing a Badger shirt went to Walmart.

You can also substitute "Notre Dame" for "Wisconsin" and it would still be funny.

Speaking of Diamond Stone. From today's Hartford Courant.

UConn Men's Insider: Huskies Would Be Lucky With This Diamond
By Dom Amore
December 3, 2014
Many big men are considered "projects" when they get to college. But primary UConn recruiting target Diamond Stone, 6 feet 10 and 250 pounds, appears to be no diamond in the rough, says his high school coach..
"I remember seeing him in eighth grade," said Derek Berger, who coaches Stone at Dominican High in Whitefish Bay, Wis., said in a conversation with The Courant on Tuesday night.
"He had post moves our varsity guys didn't have: right-hand hooks, left-hand hooks, spin moves kids who were four or five years older couldn't do."
In the four years since, Stone has continued to prove he is something special. That's why he has become one of the most sought-after recruits in the Class of 2015, and a player on which Huskies coach Kevin Ollie has focused a lot of attention.
The Huskies coaches have been out to the Milwaukee area several times over the last year; Ollie just was there on Monday. Stone has been to UConn twice, on an unofficial visit last June and an official visit in October.
"He's a very humble kid, actually," Berger said. "He sits and listens respectfully whenever the college coaches talk to him. He doesn't go around bragging about [all the attention]."
And for UConn, which has landed combo guard Jalen Adams and forward Steve Enoch, getting Stone, considered a five-star guy across the board, would make this a strong recruiting class, befitting a program coming off a national championship. If they do not, it could still be a good class, sure, but having missed out on wing players Tevin Mack (Virginia Commonwealth) and Derek Jones (UNLV) and point guard Isaiah Briscoe (Kentucky) when they decided in November, there will still be a lot of work to do. UConn would like to get two more players from the class.
Stone has also visited Wisconsin, Maryland and Oklahoma State. There was talk of a decision in November, but now it appears he will wait until the spring. The consensus is that it is between Wisconsin and UConn, and he has been hearing plenty from fans of both on twitter. Perhaps he has leaned one way and then another.
You have to believe that the Badgers have a home court advantage here. Just imagine if Andre Drummond had gone somewhere other than UConn?
"I think what people here want is what's best for him," said Berger, who was offering no hints.
The attention has not distracted Stone as the new high school season gets underway. He had 33 points and 22 rebounds in Dominican's victory over Milwaukee-Washington in the season opener last weekend, taking over when his team fell behind.
"He's a winner," Berger said. "I just see a fully developed player. Super strong, he can take it to the hole, rebound, and the most underrated part of his game is his passing ability."
Dominican-Whitefish Bay is a three-time defending state champion, so Stone is used to winning, and Berger thinks having the chance to win a championship in college will be a strong factor in his decision. Again, UConn and Wisconsin, both Final Four teams last season, can certainly offer that. And he has the potential to be a program-changer almost anywhere.
As Stone has grown as a player, he has matured in other ways. His academic work is solid, Berger said, and he attends to it, doing extra work without prodding.
"I used to get on him a lot about being a vocal leader," Berger said. "Then one game last year, it was a close game, and he asked me to call a timeout. I did, and when we got to the sideline, he was getting on everybody, pepping everybody up, telling them 'this is what we have to do.' He had become that vocal leader."
All of these things make it easy to see why UConn is working so hard to get Diamond Stone.

I really think our chances of beating UW increase if they beat Duke tonight, so this a no brainer for me. It's just human nature to have a bit of a letdown in focus and intensity after a major success. I also generally root for the teams we've played because it helps our RPI. Other than that I don't give a frack about the Badgers.

Doesn't WalMart Wolverine also refer to the fact these fans usually work at Wal Mart or at a similar level retail store?

Go Becky!!! Double our chances of beating you Saturday!!!

I always thought the most annoying were the people who went to places like UW-Stout, Whitewater, River Falls, etc. and viewed themselves as Badgers just because they were in the state system. I loved telling them that they are not Badgers, they are hyphens.

Pure Michigan indeed!

Not a bad list, but Notre Dame should be above VT and Indiana on your hate list, maybe even above Wisconsin.
The only problem here is the rule should clearly be : Never, ever, ever, ever root for No Dick, whoever their opponent is.
-
No matter who you want to win, this is gonna be a damn good basketball game. With that being said, I hop Jahlil breaks Kaminsky.
-
Couple of observations. Dekker not 100%, Vadgers only have 1, 2 pt field goal in 12 minutes and of course still flopping all over the place.
-
Frank the Tank just took one to the nads.

Frank the Tank just took one to the nads.
I was laughing so hard. Im kinda surprised he actually has a pair. Maybe that should be the strategy on Saturday.
-
Bo still has a knack for getting guys to contribute. Vitto Brown with a nice first half run after Frank started singing soprano.
-
Watching game, MU can match UW's hustle, we need to make our shots, and find some Magic potion for getting rebounds
-
Zone is going to work well against them. Not as good shooters as I thought. A lot of their points came from Jackson driving the lane or him passing backdoor. I do think Derrick is a better defender the any Duke guard. Were gonna give them fits.
-
and find some Magic potion for getting rebounds
We got to find some technique to take advantage of those knock backs on Wisconsin offensive rebounds to outside shooters for UW. They will get a load of them and then get an open 3. So disheartening after playing good half court D.
-

I don't know man... I like our switch to zone because it maximizes our current personnel on D... but teams have been able to find open threes against it when patient. UW hits their open threes. If they get the kind of looks MSU was able to manufacture, it will be a double digit loss no matter what we do. Of course, I hope you're right and I have no idea what I'm talking about!

They have a bunch of tall shooters that can easily shoot over the zone. Numerous good passers and strong rebounders. They are pretty much tailor made to beat the zone. We will need to play our best game and hope they aren't at their best.
This is the best Wisconsin team I've ever seen this early in the year.

In life, it is good to have rules to follow. It makes questions like the one posed initially easy to answer. I have a 10 very simple rules in my life:
1. Never root for Cincinnati unless they are playing Louisville, Duke, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech (2014 Amendment), Indiana or Wisconsin.
2. Never root for Louisville unless they are playing Duke, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech (2014 Amendment), Indiana or Wisconsin.
3. Never root for Duke unless they are playing Notre Dame, Virginia Tech (2014 Amendment), Indiana or Wisconsin.
4. Never root for Notre Dame unless they are playing Virginia Tech (2014 Amendment), Indiana or Wisconsin.
5. Never root for Virginia Tech unless they are not coached by Buzz.
6. Never root for Indiana unless they are not coached by Crean.
7. If Virginia Tech plays Indiana, hope for a tie, or hibernate until news reports on the outcome are no longer readily available.
8. Never, ever root for Wisconsin regardless who is coaching.
9. If Virginia Tech plays Wisconsin or Indiana plays Wisconsin, curl up in the fetal position, suck thumb and quietly sob, "no, no, no, no, no, no" over and over. NOTE: Happens at least twice per year. \
10. Never, ever, ever, root for Wisconsin. Or, Michigan football.
You never, ever, ever root for ND.
Ever.
Any questions?

Superbar...please

Jay Bee called it again....Ty Jones is nailing it.
-
UW struggling vs.zone. Big Frank is getting it, but others confused.
-
I don't know how we deal with Kaminsky. We don't have anyone strong enough to contain him physically, and he's more athletic than Steve. Who on this team guards him? He could score 40 on us.
-
Out hustle, warrior pride ? Gong to be a tough game for warriors to keep close
-
We're getting the template on how to beat them tonight, but I'm not sure we have the personnel, and the Badgers will be better prepared for zone come Saturday.
-
Yup this wisky team has same weakness as last year.
Good guards can torch them
-
Floor slap???? We OWN that now.
-
It's veryyyyy apparent duke is much much more athletic than Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a good shooting team, but you can really see the athletic difference between the two
-

Yep..and a zone. Why Koenig doesn't start is a Bo Puzzle. As predicted at the urinal after the UNI game: MU Beats Buck, Bank It!
-

I think it's to keep the faith in the senior.
Koenig and Jackson are both defensive liabilities so he goes with the senior.

Will Duane be our Tyus Jones?

And Bo Ryan leaves without shaking the hands of the Duke players.
Class act.

Coach K stopped to talk, Bo gave him a brief shake, then walked off.

Wisconsin is not a good team when Jackson scores 25. He needs to distribute.
-
And Bo Ryan leaves without shaking the hands of the Duke players.
Class act.
Meanwhile, they show Duke freshman Tyus Jones taking time to give a hug to every Badger including the guys who never got the warm ups off. I remember drooling over him for the 5 minutes or so it seemed Buzz was after him. Phenomenal talent and seems like a really classy kid. Bo could learn a thing or two from young Mr Jones.
-
And Bo Ryan leaves without shaking the hands of the Duke players.
Class act.
Yeah, Ryan has always been a grade A as$hole. What a piece of work.

Badgers are overrated. They were exposed tonight . I don't see them as materially different than Michigan State or Ohio State. We still have to play great to beat them for sure , however they are beatable if we play hard and smart for all 40 minutes .
-
I don't know how we deal with Kaminsky. We don't have anyone strong enough to contain him physically, and he's more athletic than Steve. Who on this team guards him? He could score 40 on us.
The zone "guards" Kaminsky. There is zero reason for us to try to play man against Wisconsin.

It's a tall order to be the one of the biggest a-holes in college basketball but Bo seems to have no trouble with it

I don't think it's so much them being overrated but Duke being that good. I'd put them ahead of both Ohio State and well ahead of Michigan State.
Duke has a combination of elite guards and strong bigs. They play a great brand of defense. Sure, it may be encouraging to see Wisconsin at less than their best, but don't forget it was a hyper-talented Duke team that made them look like that.
-
Badgers are overrated. They were exposed tonight . I don't see them as materially different than Michigan State or Ohio State.
Not sure about that. After watching Ohio State last night, and MSU tonight, I think UW is appreciably better than those two teams. Duke did a great job of taking them out of their flow offensively. Not a lot of teams have the size and quickness to do that to them.
-
Yeah, Ryan has always been a grade A as$hole. What a piece of work.
I agree that he seems to be a bit of an angry and bitter person when he doesn't get his way (whether that's poor calls or shoddy play from his team).
-
I agree that he seems to be a bit of an angry and bitter person when he doesn't get his way (whether that's poor calls or shoddy play from his team).
Thing is, he got virtually every call tonight and still was a tool afterwards. He is a perfect representative for that school of asswipes.
-
Did anyone see Ty Jones during the post game? Kid spoke like a 35 year old NBA vet and is still 18. Duke is looking at elite composure and leadership for as long as he stays.
-
I still think Bo is the grinch, but I did see this on twitter:

Not get his way? I've never seen a team get more calls year after year.

Wisconsin was clearly the victim of the classic trap game. They have been so focused on Saturday's game against MU they didn't fully prepare to play tonight.
-
You guys who wanted to see Duke win, is your desire of seeing Wisconsin lose stronger than your desire to see MU succeed?
Call me crazy, but I'll take an RPI boost over seeing disappointed Badger fans every single time.

At the level UW is at this year, that RPI boost is negligible. Seeing them give up 65% from the field at home is way more fun.

I was actually thinking that when I was watching the interview. He was really well-spoken and sounded better than most NBA players. i also enjoyed how Bilas at the end of the interview was like "are you really 18?"

Well, with a 10pt WI loss, kenpom now gives us a 19% chance of winning, vs 16% if WI won by the predicted 2pts. So that's good news :) And it means I still hold hope of MU succeeding!

As for a subject brought up in a couple of earlier comments ...
Wisconsin definitely is better than Ohio State and Michigan State. Duke is clearly one of the best two teams in the country.

I don't understand why it bothers you that this is in this thread.
First of all, there are Marquette implications as Wisconsin is our next opponent.
Second of all, even if there aren't MU implications, if you don't want to see what's in the thread just don't click on it.
Third of all, if you care all that much, apply to be a moderator. Then you can have The Power!

Where did I say this happens often? I'm only commenting that it is the case when it happens (it's notable because he will complain every time, and even for a team that gets more than its share of calls, if you complain about every bad call, significant or not, it will pile up).

I would think Michigan St. losing to an unranked ND team would be worse for our RPI than Becky losing to #4 Duke.
-
You're crazy. I started watching the game and tried to root for Wiscy in order to help MU's RPI. That lasted about a nanosecond. The fact that I actually have always respected Duke and have learned to loathe bucky was just too strong. Go Duke!

This is a community. At one point when I wrote this and in others, four out of the top five threads were not about MU basketball, which is Superbar material. I am interested in it, as I am in other Superbar threads, but if we have to run to the moderators so much versus self policing, what's the point? It is common courtesy.
If you and others don't agree, then I will start a thread about my dog or quilting class here....because it is some how related to MU basketball (my dog's name is Jacques and I am making a quilt with a Golden Eagle on it).

RPI and Kenpom and all that stuff is for geeks anyway. Win your games and the rest will take care of itself. If you have to worry about RPI rankings of every team you play and every team they play, then 1. You have way too much time on your hands, 2. Your team probably isn’t that good anyway.
As far as Wisconsin, they could lose every game by 30 and rot in hell and I would be just fine with that. That goes for football and any other sport as well.
-

Good news:
UW D is not very good. No quickness on D on the outside to contain quick guards.
Slow rotations on help side.
Almost no effort to recover after help.
Soft team that doesn't go after loose balls.
Bad news:
MU is even worse on D.
UWs offense is great and will likely score at will.

In life, it is good to have rules to follow. It makes questions like the one posed initially easy to answer. I have a 10 very simple rules in my life:

If MU wins the BET, no, it won't.
If MU goes 17-1 in conference play, no, it won't.
If MU goes 2-16 in conference play, no, it won't.
If MU goes 12-6 or 13-5 in conference play and finds itself squarely on the bubble come SS, it absolutely could... especially if Becky is our only good road win all season, Duke stays in the Top 5 all season, and Becky stumbles during conference and falls out of the AP25. I'd much rather have our best road win against mediocre team who beat the #2 team at home than a mediocre team who doesn't have a good win of their own.
Listen, I'll happily put my hatred for the Badgers up on the line against anyone else's. But the bottom line is that I love MU more than I hate UW. It's puzzling why people are so anxious to shut the door on the NCAAT during the first week of December just so they have no regrets in watching a rival wallow.
In other words, hate on the Badgers all you want. Take joy in their misery if you must. But don't allow the spite of red in your eyes to tarnish the gold in your heart.

We will have to agree to disagree on this. If we beat Wisky, it will be a "good win" regardless of last night. And if we lose to Wisky, there's no way it would be viewed as a "bad loss" based on last night. Create all the far fetched scenarios you want, but the reality is that Wisky will be in the top 2 or 3 of their conference, and that will definitely be sufficient for this to be viewed as a high quality opponent.

After things went south for Amaker at Michigan, most of K's proteges have gone to private, well known schools. Brey at Notre Dame, Amaker at Harvard, Collins at Northwestern, Dawkins at Stanford, and Wojo at Marquette.
So far all our recent coaches to move up the chain have gone to schools southeast of Milwaukee. So a private school southeast of Milwaukee...my money is on Davidson! Closer to home for Wojo, fits the profile, and easy to hate thanks to recent NCAA experience. So screw you, Davidson!

Thanks man you should reinvent autocorrect on phones to make it better since it means that much to you.
Don't say it's just recent criticism you were complaining about him for years on here. But whenever Id ask you if you were even remotely happy for the BE title or the 5ncaa appearances including the two S16s and E8 you wouldn't respond so I took the lack of response as you being so anti Buzz you would have rather us missed the tournament three years and him fired. Glad to see you're actually happy for that success it makes me actually think you like Marquette basketball rather than your way or the highway :)

So far all our recent coaches to move up the chain have gone to schools southeast of Milwaukee. So a private school southeast of Milwaukee...my money is on Davidson! Closer to home for Wojo, fits the profile, and easy to hate thanks to recent NCAA experience. So screw you, Davidson!
If you want a hateable schoolthat fits this profile....Dayton.
