Wisconsin Game Thread

[Markusquette]

Markus has been disappointing today. Can't say I'm surprised he hasn't added any level of play making during the off season.

[warriors141]

Let's face it, both of these teams suck.

the difference is that the badgers actually run an offense......

[jonny09]

So stupid.

Why stupid?   These teams are not good

Neither of these teams win a single tourney game this year.  Book that.

Badgers: great defense,
.  Move the ball well. 

[Guy Fieri's Dad]

Purdue 1st half is who this team is. Get ready for a long yr

There is nothing drawn up to get him involved. He's expected to create everything while teams key in on him

What are the odds Wisconsin will shoot 7-10 in a half at any point the rest of the season?

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

A tourney bid will be absolute ceiling this year.  This offense is not sustainable all season.  Markus will go off and will us to a couple nice wins.   The hausers murdered this team this year.

Don't think you've been watching any college basketball but Marquette.  All of College basketball this year is pretty weak. 

[MUeng]

difference today seems to be the absence of Markus.  Really need him to score points and he's disappeared in the 2nd half.  Had a nice little streak in the first half but just off today.

Outplayed at both ends.
Markus cold, others have to step up.
A little bit of home cooking but not enough to matter.
Biggest MU team in years but bounds seem to be a problem.

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

Howard needs to come out.  No need to risk injury in this crap show anymore

You are correct.   This team has no shot of winning a tourney game.  None.

They didn't last year either and they've both lost major players. Not exactly a bold prediction

[NickelDimer]

The panic is strong in this thread

[warriors141]

anim really had a great 4 year senior performance in a rivalry game today......not

[TSmith34, Inc.]

As goes Markus...

I won't speak to the rest of this post, but the bolded is correct - and its part of a larger trend, not just overreacting to one game against UW's style.  I legitimately don't recall the last time Markus shot a three off the catch.

So stupid.

Thank you for agreeing that it's not stupid to think both these teams stink

[Eldon]

Welp.

[jonny09]

So stupid.

Friendly wager?

[warriors141]

when was the last time Wisconsin beat us so easily? Howard often doesn't have it in the big games, and we run zero offense. question to ask, is the program improving under wojo? I don't know how you can make the case that it is

[Mike Deane's Seat Belt]

The asses in seats totals this year may be woefully short of their expectations by time big east play starts......

[The Sultan]

when was the last time Wisconsin beat us so easily?

Three years ago.
