I'm hoping we trend positive here...but I had to include options for different memories from the past.
I'll be there if that helps?
I see us keeping it close and then somehow a silly turnover or terrible foul turns the tide. Which of course will somehow be WOJO's fault that player X dribbled it off his foot down 1 with a minute left.
What I hope happens is we come out, hit 3's and keep plugging along. Win by 1 is a win.

As of today, MU AD still pushing Badger packs. Surprising.
I'll feel good if we can push the pace on them.
Keep moving and don't get caught in the plodding pace.

College generation would rather watch from their 60" big screen with a $1 craft beer in their hand of close ups than sit in section 412 (where I am) for $69 a seat (minipack) and $7 a beer with half the court obstructed by the hoop and seeing ants run in circles.
Can't say I blame them really. Doesn't make them less fans. Still sucks though.

Out of curiosity, I went into to Badger mini plan and couldn't buy one for two seats together. There are only single seats available according to Ticketmaster.
What, no REAL BIG WIN option? What kind of fan are you.

I had to call MU ticket office to get them to release seats next to each other which was weird.
We haven't been a bad 2nd half team this entire season...just lately. Against the likes of Vandy, we started sluggish. We've yet to really put together what I would consider a "complete game". But given the lopsidedness of Vandy/GA, it's important to recognize how infrequent those are for any team.
That said, I wish I felt better about our ability to play with intensity and not fall into bad shots for an entire game, but this is an opponent that wins by forcing you into them. Close loss was my vote.

agreed; I abstain
The less Reinhardt plays, the better our chances of winning.

He's going to go lights out and win the whole damn game now.
You left out the student body.

Right!....I must have subconscious trust issues with MU basketball to put that "real big loss" in there.
To tell you the truth, I was thinking of the UNC elite eight 30-point lead when I wrote that...Jae and company actually did a great job coming back in that game. I don't really remember UW ever blowing us out...maybe 10 points or something like that.
so fair critique...
It makes no logical sense but nearly pissing away the game against Fresno makes me more confident heading into Saturday. No proof to back it up, but I feel like we always play better when Wojo has a bad performance to get on them about.
I really want Sammy to have a good game. I want every badger fan in the house to leave completely dumbfounded as to how the Badgers missed on him.

This is really stunning.
2/4/6/8 years ago, this game is sold out almost before the tickets were open to the public. Now they're still selling with 3 days to go.
Case in point, I always bought my allotment of 8 tickets and found Warrior fans to get them to. Never got around to it this year.

May the Crow be with you.
Went to the game last year prepared for the worst and was pleasantly surprised. Hoping for the same this year.

Again, they are only selling individual seats - less than a couple hundred. It looks like most of the BC is sold.

Same feeling here. Falling apart down the stretch always leads to some good coaching opportunities. I see a close win.

Reminds me of one of the press availability days before Colts-Bears Super Bowl.
Several questions were about the Colts being fairly big favorites, and one reporter asked Urlacher how he would cope if the game was one-sided.
Urlacher's response: "What? You really expect us to win in a blow-out?"
Hope you don't mind a bump.

I bought the extra 8 tickets this year and didn't have any trouble finding people to go, the other games so far, not so much
This is a huge game for the team, hopefully we can win and boost our confidence
I voted for a close win. Even if we were blowing them out, Pitt and Fresno have taught me to expect the game to tighten up at the end.
I am hoping that Hauser and Howard really step up for the challenge, but who knows how a freshmen will really perform in a game like this.
Book it in da W column, ai na?
