Huge loss.  He is the one UW guard who can force tempo and push the ball into the lane.

Sucks for the Vadgers.

Ehh.  I never thought he was very good to be honest.  But, neither is Bronson Koenig, so there's that.

Yeah, I'm down with DWill.

Badgers were really over rated before these injuries.  Koenig isn't good.

They'll lose 6-7 games in conference

To who?

The B1G is bad.  They aren't losing 6-7 games regardless of Jackson's injury.

I'll give Jackson credit in that he is pretty fearless at the end of games and wants the ball in his hands, something you don't see from other guys on the team.  But otherwise I agree, he's not particularly quick.

Koenig has been pedestrian.  I worry that he'll make that leap going into next year, but thus far he's been just ok.

However bad the Rutgers loss is, I don't see the badgers losing 6-7 games. The Bigish is just a bad conference. Too many bottom feeders and too many inconsistent teams.

Jackson is relatively quick for UW, however.  There will be a drop off in athleticism that cannot be afforded much by UW to stay at an elite level.  However, if had to happen,  now is obviously better for UW than in 6 weeks.  He will be back and should be fine by the time it really matters.
