Trice looks good. Happ looks okay. Everyone else looks awful for both teams.

Wisconsin lead hovering between 8-11 in the first half

Trice looks good. Happ looks okay. Everyone else looks awful for both teams.

Exact same thoughts so far.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I love when announcers say "there was no flagrant there" and then when the refs call a flagrant they say that it was the right call.

[BM1090]

I'm watching with no sound so I have no idea what the call was, but I didn't see anything flagrant on that.

[Jay Bee]

Ex-Trice, 35.2% eFG% for uw-madison in the first half per my quick math. Looking forward to playing both of these teams. Go X!

[BM1090]

Yeah. It's early and both these teams can improve a lot, but watching this game it's hard not to think these teams will account for 3 Marquette wins.

New rule emphasis. Refs said that Happ hooked Hankins around the body. He did but it was light.

I love when announcers say "there was no flagrant there" and then when the refs call a flagrant they say that it was the right call.

Haha—exactly. I can't count the number of times the announcers shout "that should be a flagrant 2........that ball went off of player Y" and the refs call is more times than not, not what the announcers said. Then they massage it down to get to the 'we both were right' line.

Xavier looks really bad, Wisky looks like Wisky. They'll win games by being patient and slowing down the game.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Happ, Trice, and Davison have combined for all 47 of Wisconsin's points. I don't know how Xavier can't figure this offense out. It's all Trice and Happ going back and forth.

[BM1090]

Xavier looks very bad. I wouldn't be shocked at a 9th place finish for them this year.

[GrimmReaper33]

Xavier is not good.  Wisconsin looks better, no doubt.

I will say, Trice looks really good.  Making shots and some great dishes.

[MuMark]

UW looks good....executing and getting good looks or dunks.......X very bad......if they don't find a way to,improve on the perimeter it's going to be a long season for them.

[PGsHeroes32]

X is baaaaaad

[BM1090]

X is baaaaaad

Maui is going to be very, very bad for them.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Seriously, I don't know how X hasn't figured this out. The Badgers are going to pass around the perimeter until they can get it into Happ deep. From there he will either score or pass to Trice for an open three. If they can't get it to Happ, they will give it Davison and hope he can create something on his own. Deny Happ the ball, if he gets it, don't collapse with Trice's man. Make Davison beat you.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Xavier's offense appears to be "give it to Marshall or Goodin and hope they can create something." Not seeing much ball movement. I had the road game at X as a loss preseason, but from what I have seen so far, we should beat them twice easily.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

X has a long way to go.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Jones gets called for an offensive foul, his third. Badgers take the ball down the court and he hacks a guy away from the ball to pick up his 4th foul. It looked intentional. Announcers are speculating that he did it on purpose to force Steele to take him out of the game. I certainly don't know what Jones was thinking but it looked like that's what happened. Really concerning if true

[MuMark]

Somebody should have told Steele he is allowed to give help on Happ..........

[Herman Cain]

Let's see if Georgetown can salvage something for the Big East

Illini laying 9 to Gtown. Are the Hoyas that bad this year? Yikes.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

X starts fouling Happ with 2 mins to go and make a couple free throws and it's a different game.

But they were bad tonight.

[MuMark]

UW got 71 of 77 points from 3 players......they are going to need to find a little more balance to beat better teams......of course if Happ averages 31 a game they are probably going to be ok......

Will our guys be able to do just that?
