A shooter is a shooter and there are lots of good basketball players who are not good shooters.  Ben is as close to a shooter as MU has.  I also see his indecision.  He's got range well beyond the 3 point line but I think the coaches have tried to get mostly "toes on the line" 3's.  Even last year Kam was hesitant to shoot the deep 3's, but for a shooter, those are not bad shots.  Ben needs to stop thinking and just shoot.  Shaka also needs to use the trailing 3 more with Ben because that's usually a good, unguarded 3.  Lots of Shaka's sets put Ben in the corner and he's getting lots of ball rotation corner 3's, and every time one of those go up, I think of Bobby Knight's old adage "make 'em shoot from the corners". 

Pull the redshirt on the Aussie kid.  The team needs one more shooter.

Also, coaching tip - you should not tell a shooter what's a good shot and what's a bad shot.  Any shot by a good shooter is a good shot.  (ref Jones, K - year 1-3)

Well played.

There are levels to women's college volleyball, even more so than college football. There are teams in the top 10 that have absolutely no chance to beat one of the top 4 teams, and that's the same every year. There's usually about 3-5 teams that can win it all, and any team outside of those has almost no chance of beating any of those 3-5, let alone having to beat 2 or 3 of them to win it all. It'd be interesting to see how often a non-1 seed wins it all. I'd guess well under 10% of the time.

Louisville is outside of that group this year, but they're the tier below it and Marquette is a couple tiers below that.

Thanks for the info, wades.

It's like St. Thomas vs UConn, really

What's the budget? Pretty confident you have no clue.

C'mon let's get back to Badger Hate Week!
Where's the hate everyone? I've posted just 10 times since 2014 and decided to show up again cuz our Warriors need us more than ever given these so very difficult times in our glorious history. This is the rivalry that demands our forever hate. I've been living in Madison surrounded by a sea of god awful red for decades and it's tough times like this moment where we all must come together and show up with their hate. Let's hear some hate. Hate will lead us to victory.
