Let's have some fun folks.
The last two games was some MU BB worth watching.

Is it conceivable he'll start drilling threes again?  Are there any psychological solutions?

what do you mean, 'again'?

No and no.

Freshman with a reputation as a shooter playing in crunch time for the first time got a look and shot. 

Come on, LaFleurper was right there.

I'm not saying Gard is a bad coach, nor am I saying whether he is or isn't better than Shaka.

But he has won a grand total of 3 NCAAT games, never reaching the second weekend, in 8 seasons since getting to the S16 twice with Bo's players. Perhaps even more damning: He went 1-3 vs. Wojo in the same span.

MU's best interior defender by 100 miles. Not having him at full strength for 30+ minutes hurt us badly vs. Nova.

Sunday's box score says Kolek got a DNP-CD for the Knicks, who played McBride 35 minutes off the bench. The last time TK hadn't played when on the active roster was Nov. 19.

Oso with 10 points in 20 minutes for the Suns.

I respect Gard for being able to self reflect, adapt, and change his approach when things don't work.

But it's been quite the Gard love fest around here after Wisconsin's first notable win of the season.  Prior to the Michigan game, the Badgers were 0-5 in Q1 games.  A game that the Badgers needed an outlier shooting performance to win by 3.

15 made threes (7 more than Michigan), while making 45% of them (12% better than their season average).

Didn't read all of this praise when Nebraska and Purdue crushed them, or when Wisconsin lost to TCU by 11.  But hey, one win, and Gard is suddenly the greatest thing since sliced cheese.

We should hang a banner for his perseverance.
