Well, at least UW-madison won't beat #16 Illinois with their traditional players

[ChicosBailBonds]

OOops, yes I guess they just did that as well.

Awesome day

Really? Do we really need another kick-in-the-pants thread? I could have been pleasantly oblivious to this until tomorrow and been much happier.

Seriously, Chicos, you're being as bad as nmb today. I generally like you, I really do, but between this and the lame IU thread...just too much today. Please stop.

[Lennys Tap]

Your boy Gasser had another big day - 2 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 1 turnover, 3 fouls in 23 minutes. Almost impossible to log that much time and put up those numbers.

unnatural carnal knowledge the badgers. UIC beat Illinois, so... Not a big shock.

UW has the best team in the state this season, no question. Give credit where credit is due.

[GOMU1104]

Speaking of traditional...the #1 pick in the 2011 NBA draft sure has been lighting it up lately.

At least he scored today! Vander had a lot of zeros in his line! LOL

Hey, Vander had a turnover and three fouls! 

[brewcity77]

Hey, Vander had a turnover and three fouls! 

Whatever. You guys would trade both testicles and Gasser for Vander. He's soooooo much better of a player.

Awesome day 

Why would you post this?  I respect that you and I often view things differently...I have no respect for this type of thing.

You've become the Ernest T. Bass of MUScoop.

This is who he is.  If you do not respect this type of thing, you do not respect the OP.

An absolutely devastating loss for MU, a nice win for UW and a big lead for Indiana. Striped Tomato, er, Chicos, is having his finest day in quite some time.

My "boy" Gasser.  Lol.  He's enjoying a win over a ranked team tonight.

I'll say this about UW, they are boring, not very athletic but they play smart and traditional...we don't which is why we have a higher ceiling and a lower basement.

Our stupidity sometimes really hurts any athletic advantages we have.

Yup.  Best program the last decade, too, but instead people here want to attack their traditional play and posters here that ask why we can't land a few players that play with a high basketball IQ consistently.

This string of statements is such garbage.  WI just choked away a 9 point lead in 2.5 minutes 5 days ago.  The only reason they didn't lose in regulation is because MSU wasn't good enough to close it out in regulation.  Instead, they closed it out in overtime.  Really don't believe we have an athletic advantage over Louisville.  Thought we did a really good job of diagnosing the man-zone defense that changed even within possessions.  Thought for 35 minutes we played smarter than Louisville.  Lost because of the reason teams lose when they get up big - sat on the ball and lost our aggression.  Not going to call you a racist because the ignorant and inflammatory statements could be attributed any number of factors, including my guess which is you just get off on making ignorant and inflammatory statements.

When I was younger we used to say things like "that is so gay", which meant lame or incredibly stupid.  I'm not sure if you can say that anymore, but just in case, that was so gay (using the definition above).  I thought you hated this board, why are you here?

Definitely gay, especially since you didn't use teal.

You're not going to say racist but you're going to say it anyway.  LOL.  Classic.

Why did you bring up race at all, it has nothing to do with race but I'm not surprised at all you went there.  I would do anything to have 12 Wesley Matthews on this team, can you tell me what race he is? 

There is not one iota of racism in my statements....stupid basketball knows no race.  Are you saying we play smart basketball?  Is the new bugaboo from you and Lenny's Tap going to be that anyone that says we play stupid basketball or a player(s) make dumb decisions that it's racist?

Incredible.  Please just come out and say that out now so every poster here can understand what the new ground rules are and what labels will be applied to someone who dares to say we play dumb basketball at times and thus must be racist for thinking that way.   Incredible.

You're smarter than this.

Example number 10,000....you could say this about many threads here, I don't recall you, Lenny or a few others ever saying that about any of those threads.  I wonder why?  Wait, no I don't.  We know exactly why you don't get upset when others do it.  Carry on with selective outrage.

[karavotsos]

I am saying that to say one team plays smart basketball or another plays dumb basketball all the time is an overgeneralization.  I would say yes, Marquette for the most part plays smart basketball.  Buzz is a good basketball coach, and he teaches guys to recognize how to beat teams based on mismatches and individual teams' weaknesses.  Bo does the same things.  Their mismatch is that they have big guys who can draw big guys out on the floor and shoot and generally handle the ball.  He teaches them to play D within the 3 point line.  They don't extend.  It works to a degree.

I am saying we did not lose today because we had a lower basketball IQ.  I am saying that you cannot say that we lost because we have a low basketball IQ and that WI has a high basketball IQ and would not have lost this game if we were WI with this lead because WI lost a similar lead 6 days ago.  I am saying there is some other reason that you say the things you say aside from what actually happened.  I don't care what anyone calls it.  

If you prefer WI and the way they play just say it.  I don't.  I like the way MU plays.  I think its very smart.  Guys don't execute all the time.  I think we attempt a higher degree of difficulty and more things.  The higher ceiling lower floor thing is stupid.  You just say that so you can say you're right either way.  And instead of responding to statements you whine about this or that.  Defend your statement that WI has a higher IQ.  Explain what that means.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Well Krav, you didn't really say that, you brought in the racist charge and tried to be cute with it and said you weren't really saying it but just kind of throwing it out there to see if you can score some kind of points.  That was B.S.


I think Buzz is a good coach and I think we have some very good players, the problem is that at this level everyone's a good coach and has very good players.  It's often the team that plays smarter and executes that wins the games.   I do not care for how Wisconsin plays basketball, but at the end of the day they get results. 

I think Bo Ryan is a better coach and has less skilled players than we do but they still end up having tremendous results.  Yes, that's frustrating on many levels.
