Let Badger Hate week commence!!!

[MUSF]

I think it largely comes down to how well we are shooting. If Jake, Todd, and Jamil are hitting their shots outside, we win. If not, it could be ugly because UW will be able to focus all their attention on protecting the paint. I expect either a close MU win or a Badger blowout.

We haven't been a good outside shooting team for quite some time, and yet the Badgers continually struggle to keep us out of the paint. I don't expect that to change. If we can contain them on D and limit offensive boards, I think we have a good chance to win. Either way, I would be surprised if we get blown out.

If MU continues is pathetic outside shooting, they'll have no chance Saturday. Bucky will try to draw Otule and Gardner outside but might have trouble defending the paint on them. Dekker is a beast for which we have no answer...hoping we don't get blown out...

Well, before the SDSU game, we did shoot 42.6% from beyond the arc in the three previous games out west. That would be top-25 in the country if we had been doing that all season.

When our shooters are on, we're tough to beat. When they aren't, we're very beatable. In their house, I could see it getting ugly if they're hitting and we're not. By blowout, I mean along the lines of Ohio State. For Wisconsin, 15 points is like 40 for a normal team.

need more pelts.

[memorialspartans]

I get sooooooooo sick of UW playing that plodding style...play basketball for crissakes!! Here's hoping Jamil shoots a better % than his height and we can keep the game respectable. Not a lot of confidence going into the "Kohl" with this year's team even though we've won there twice in the last 5 yrs.

We could really use Cadougan with all their guards this year...

Anyone have the photo of Vander clapping his hands--with the caption someting to the effect of "And to think I almost went to Wisconsin and would have missed out on two Sweet Sixteens"--or something close to that?  Thanks.

didn't UW get to sweet sixteens two of the last three years?

[memorialspartans]

I might have the Vander photo you referenced...not sure if it's relevant now that his career is taking off in Israel. Just wish he would've stayed one more year cuz we could use him this Saturday. Has Vander had any "legal issues" in Israel? Has anyone heard anything about this???

[We R Final Four]

You are on a roll Spartan.  Yeah, WE could use him on Sat.  Big fan of the B and G hey?

This is true of pretty much any basketball team at any level.

We aren't built to rely on the outside shot, and I don't think we need to in order to beat Bucky.

MU scored 35 points against OSU, that's plodding. Also, UW averages 6 more PPG while playing a tougher schedule. All that out the window, It's going to be a very competitive game on Saturday.

Points per game is not an indication of pace.  Bo's style is to play at an unwatchable crawl, but very efficiently.  UW is #293 of 351 in adjusted tempo, which is lightning fast for them.  Last year they finished #318 of 347, in 2011-12 they played at the slowest pace in the nation, #345, and second slowest in 2010-11.  The positive for them is that they're 13th in offensive efficiency this year, an unusually bad 108th last year, and 20th the prior year, and #3 in 2010-11.

Nope, that's missing a ton of shots and generally playing really bad offensive basketball. The PPG number isn't exactly the indicator you think it is.
