Beating Bucky ugly

You might be right, but the supporting cast really is not special. If it was, no one on here but be making comments about Badger prospects for next season in just a negative tone.

Still don’t understand why you are comparing current teams to different era teams, one can only compete against current competition....right?

There doesn't seem to be a star there, though Reuvers has the kind of high efficiency that guys like Leuer and Kaminsky flashed before they emerged on the national stage.

I think Gard has built a nice complimentary team around Happ. Losing Happ will be a big blow, losing an All American always is, but I'm not as low on Bucky's future as I was even a few months ago. I think they'll be a mini-version of their old selves under Bo, but I think he can build a competitive team that still earns tourney bids even if they don't compete for league or national titles. Their system is great at masking those deficiencies.

The Badgers are not a very good team. They have one exceptional player and nothing else. If that is a slap at MU, you are looking to argue. How are things out in LA?

Over the course of time in college basketball , it has consistently been proven that an exceptional Big Man can carry a team a long way. There are enough supplemental players with basic skills that Happ can put that UW team on his back and take it places. So while they not be a very good team in the sense they are loaded with very good players, they are still going to get the same net result as a very good player with the mix of players and style they have. I am delighted we beat them and the win will definitely work in our favor when it comes time for the committee to decide whether or not to let MU in the tournament.

Holy crap, just realized that Trice is a 22-year old RS Sophomore vs. 19-year old Junior M. Howard.
