Wisconsin Game Thread

[Eldon]

We need to shoot the ball to have a chance, all the passing around the perimeter. I say let it rip, whoever is open.
Losing by 10 and they get three shots every time down,no chance at all.

Dawson's got a pretty good jump shot...

[Class71]

Hell I'm not even saying Derrick...though he certainly isn't playing well but neither have JJJ, Sandy or Duane and Carlino has been shaky. All get chances. See wtf Dawsom can do under the lights Wojo...

Appreciate your zeal but  the coach has made his decision and I do not expect he looks to scoopers for advise no matter how many times the advise is repeated here but you already knew that.

Im not buying that Dawson is that much worse than whats on the court. No way.

They need shooting and the 3-4th best shooter on the team watches the game from the sideline.

But, It's Ners, It's Ners.

Wisconsin is good.   Their stay at home, pack the line defense with great size is exceedingly difficult for our offense without any size to penetrate.   Unless MU rains contested 3's, it isn't going to improve.    Nobody is playing well, nobody can get off an easy shot.   Defense looks solid but we are getting roasted on the boards.   How is any of this a surprise?

[KipsBayEagle]

I don't know why anyone is complaining.  We are playing excellent defense against a team that includes a 7 foot all-american.  The offense is at the very least aggressive, no more passing the ball around the top of the key for 25 seconds.  If we had taken perhaps a few more jumpers and kick outs instead of bad drives this would be a low single digit game.  All this with 8 guys, not one taller than 6'7.  This is quite excellent coaching.

I really doubt it too. But, 2 coaches have indicated that is the situation, for one reason or another.

[Blackhat]

We can't coach these guys better than this.   They've got athletic talent.  Rebounding is 80% effort.  

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

After watching them today I think Wisconsin is extremely overrated. Dekker just isn't that good and there are a lot of flaws in their team.

Buzz actually played him for a Freshmen in multiple games.

20 min vs southern
31 min vs Gtown and a bunch of other 5-10 minutes including in out Big East tourney loss last year.

Correct, more than any of us should expect. Amazing to see a 7 footer guarding Carlino late in the half. Expect more 3's in the second half.

no doubt!

[LloydsLegs]

[forgetful]

And its a game.  Those other two 3 footers drop and we are up 1.

[Wojo'sMojo]

There we go!! Way to show some fire!!!!

[JoeSmith1721]

Can't start a half much better than that!

[LloydsLegs]

Wow.  D remains strong.  Shots fall.  Controlled D glass.  And now it's tight.

[Nevada233]

Lets go guys.........

Go MU!!!

[Milkshakes]

Wow. I'd like to know what went on in that locker room. Now that is a team "playing hard"

[forgetful]

@BananasAlert: The NJIT Highlanders are up 54-46 AT Michigan with 7:45 left. It's on BTN. #UpsetAlert #BANANAS

Wow, These guys are trying to make the NCAA Tourney.

Up 4 with 2:22.

[Class71]

Unbelievable heart.

[jesmu84]

Weakside rebounding is killing us. 3 offensive board in a possession = brutal. tons of energy being expended on the D end

[mileskishnish72]

God, I can't stand looking at that ferret.

[414mufan]

Zone defense are for pansies and lazy people. Lets beat them straight up man to man. Go Warriors!
