Badgers MBB fall to Carlton (Canada)

[Golden Avalanche]

After you (in typical passive aggressive Chicos fashion) turned the game into a no win proposition for MU I thought it only fair to point out that UW isn't an automatic W for everyone.

Christ.

What a unnatural carnal knowledgeing clown show.

[hoyasincebirth]

Agreed, but coaches like veterans, they will get there share of time, that is why you can never get to excited over frosh, talking about the MU frosh as well.

Not only that but some coaches are more willing to play freshman than others. Buzz is ranked as one of the coaches least likely to give freshman playing time even when taking into account the recruiting rankings and other factors in the second article:

Was Dekker a UW guy all the way, or did MU have a shot at some point?

Jeez, enough with the Decker worship. He's a talented player, but he's not going to reinvent the game.

Christ.

What a unnatural carnal knowledgeing clown show.

Sarcasm is lost on him, G.A. 

As if I was really guaranteeing a win.     Of course UW is a tough game, am I not accused by some of being a UW-madison fan here by some so why would I think the would be a pushover.  They have a great coach, great system, and have been the best program in the state (arguably) for the last 15 years.  They will be a tough out, always are.  A loss in Canada in August means nothing.

[Spotcheck Billy]

A loss in Canada in August means nothing less than a loss in Green Bay in November.

FTFY

[Silkk the Shaka]

Three easy steps to beating Bucky:

1.) Be more athletic than them
2.) F*ck with them
3.) Profit

Best program in the state for the first 10 of the last 15 years. Last 5 years, no.

[KenoshaWarrior]

Beat me to it!  That will never not be funny.

It could.  You never know what the committee uses as a tie breaker

High comedy!

This is one of the more ridiculous answers to an honest valid question I have seen here in a while. 

I don't remember his recruiting either but am curious, were we ever in the hunt for him?

[ChicosBailBonds]

What I said isn't  incorrect...last 15 years encompasses the 10 plus the 5.  Maybe it would have more eloquent to say this century.   


UW is a tough out, that was the point.  Very good coach, solid players, solid fan support, good system.  Always a tough out.

[MuMark]

Not really...he committed early and blew up in AAU ball after his junior year

IIRC grew up a Badger fan......unlike Cohen, Duane Wilson and Noskowiak

No

Undeniable....almost laughable for you to say no.  Wins, conference titles, conference tournament titles, NCAA wins, NCAA appearances, head to head, etc, etc. 

[MattyWarrior]

My left nut hurts when you bring up Big State University and there superior athletes

Chicos--this at least the second time, if not the the eighth time, that you have brought this up.  I think the last time, you actually said in the last 20 years. We get it already.

He's gotta get attention somehow.

The problem with this is that Wisconsin has had the same coach for the last 15 years, while Marquette just got a huge upgrade in the coaching position going on 6 years ago now.  So since all of the pieces to the puzzle have been put into place, Marquette has been the superior basketball program.

Actually, over the past 15 years, MU and UW have both had three head coaches.  (If you count Soderburg as a real head coach and not just an interim.)

Fair enough, should've checked the facts first.

Just giving your comments some much needed context. You're right about the Crean era. Wisconsin was better by every measure - regular season winning %, head to head and NCAA tournament success. In the Buzz era, however, Marquette has been better by every metric. And momentum is firmly on our side in spite of question marks due to the new conference.

Here I thought you were a hip and trendy cat. But, I see I have to map it out for ya. Tommy James and the Shondells recorded the hit song, "Crimson and Clover." T-Cubed thought he'd be clever and use a play on words to mark his memorable presser at I4. Hence, the grassy nickname. Got it?

Hip and trendy for 4never = 1968 hit songs.

PS - ARO available for $9.09 at the moment. Probably will jump in (once again). Not a fan of the company short or long term, but I've ridden this one for short term glory ($$$$$$) several times before. I may be able to buy some of you Christmas gifts this year after the gains I'll see by then.
