Wisconsin Thoughts

[GGGG]

I just keep thinking that in two years we will have Cohen and Duane as seniors, and Carter and Cheatham as juniors.  I know things don't always go to plan, but that is exciting to think about.

After a day to reflect on the win I really think they can end up being very good this season. I felt we were going to be a surprise in the country and feel we will be a top 20 team a few weeks down the road. Very hard to stop two NBA caliber 6-11 guys. Cheatham is the real deal and I am excited for first time in a couple of years.

One last note, last two years you could not pay me to go to game (did go to a few) and I will money to watch HE play. He is a special player. While I think he is 100% one and done, I actually hope he stays another year because I think we could be very, very good a year from now if he hangs around.

Agreed.  I actually paid money to see MU play Chicago State.     Can still get a pair of lower bowl, midcourt for through the MU ticket exchange.

Good one.  It seemed the rodent fans booed the MU chant and the chant backed down, hopefully my impression from TV was wrong.  Would be nice to go into G-Town 11-2.

Bucky fans drowned us out, as very few of them had left the building. Had the game continued on the double-digit win trajectory, the MU chant would have been something to hear.

That would be quite an accomplishment. I hope you're right!

I agree with Brew, when all is said and done (baring injury) I think we will be speak of the legend of Haanif in this recruiting class

I wouldn't even wait that long, next year:  Fischer is a senior, Cohen and Duane as juniors, Carter and Cheatham as sophomores(biggest jump is frosh to sophomore season) with Rowsey, Wally and JjJ as key role players and Sam Hauser coming in

This doesn't even count Henry coming back.  Without Henry that's a team that should play at least into the Sweet 16, with.....oh boy

I will be at the Georgetown game with a slew of dedicated Warriors.  Any boos will only make us chant louder.

I agree Haanif is rapidly becoming my favorite player.  I see him staying all 4 years and by the last 2 being one of the marquee players in the BE.  He has the potential to be the kind of player that you feel you know and is the face of MU for a while.  We really haven't had someone like that on the team since Lazar.  Jimmy and Jae were great but there is something special about a 4 year player.  You kind of experience the program through him while he is here.
Go Warriors.

That's part of why I'm not assuming Henry will be back, because when I think of next year's team with him...oh man, I start to get a warm tingly feeling in my nethers. Can't get too excited and be left with nothing.

Do want to have a pair of blue basketballs, I'm really a badger fan?

This is a fantastic use of the auto correct feature. Well done mods

The Marquette Effect:

Dearring, a third-year sophomore guard, announced the departure in a statement on his Twitter account on Sunday night.

"I am truly grateful to the University of Wisconsin for the opportunity, but I feel it's best for me if I continue my career elsewhere," Dearring said. "I want to thank all my current and former teammates for all the great memories! I want to thank all the fans for their support. I will cherish every second I was able to spend here but I need to move forward. I wish the program the best of luck in the future!"

Dearring appeared in 18 career games for the Badgers. He played 45 minutes and scored 13 points during that time.

After redshirting and playing sparingly last season, the door was open for more playing time this season on a young team. But Dearring, who was slowed by injuries his first two seasons, was quickly passed up by freshman swingman Khalil Iverson and has played a total of six minutes in three games for the Badgers (6-5).

The 6-foot-5 Dearring was a finalist for the Mr. Basketball award in Minnesota as a senior after averaging 19.2 points while leading Minnetonka High School to a 20-5 record.

Dearring was the second player to commit in UW's 2013 recruiting class. He followed Bronson Koenig in a class that eventually grew to include Jordan Hill, Vitto Brown and Nigel Hayes.

UW was the only high-major program to offer Dearring when he committed in July 2012. His other offers at the time were from Drake and Illinois State.

Dearring is the third scholarship player to leave the UW program since the end of the 2011-12 season, joining transfers Jarrod Uthoff (Iowa) and George Marshall (South Dakota State).

Sorry - didn't know where else to put this, but glanced at a Badger Board post, and wanted to share:

When bo gets tired of coaching, it will be a great loss for everyone; not just badger basketball. I selfishly hope he'd be interested in doing TV studio work or something because (when he wants to be) he's just as witty and charming as Al and I'd like to continue seeing Bo on TV.

Bo has about as much charm as a prostate exam.

[Dawson Rental]

Saw that too. That was phenomenal. Aside from 2 wide open 3s. Koenig sucked today.

One of which was JJ falling asleep on defense.

Holy crap.  That is either the most delusional or disingenuous post I have seen in some time.

And then some. Bo is a Bo...zo!
