Weasel/Rodent Analysis??

[blue and gold]

Davison is nowhere near the top of the list in terms of talented players that we'll be facing this season, but Davison may be the most important player for his respective team that we'll play this season.

I would caution those that dismiss Davison's importance for tomorrow's game.

He's not even the most important player on his own team....

Games not at the Fiserv, but this stat has always amused me

In his 2 career games at the Fiserv, Davison has less FGMs (0) than opponent's testicles fondled (2). Only player in Fiserv history with that statline.

Given that the target was Joey Hauser, I'm now open to the possibility that Davison was fully justified in what he did.   If Davison wasn't playing for Wisconsin, I'd be convinced of it.

Yep. In Milwaukee, Floppy's 0-for-7, 4 points total. He also went 0-3 from the line in the OT loss in 2018, with 2 big misses ... when he wasn't punching Joey in the onions.

As for his games against us in Madison:

In 2017, as a freshman, he went for 20 against us, but that was the Rowsey game, we won big, and lots of Floppy's points came in garbage time.

Only game against us that Floppy mattered at all was 2019, when he had an efficient 15 and they beat us handily.

I'm pretty confident that Shaka's defensive strategy won't include letting Davison bomb away.

I would be shocked if MU doesn't attempt to run Davison off the three point line and make him as uncomfortable as possible.

Going into this year, Davison had the following career statistics at UW-Madison:

• 4th in school history - 124 career starts
• 5th in school history - .832 career FT%
• 5th in school history - 222 career 3FGs
• 12th in school history - 132 career steals
• T-19th in school history - 1,363 points
• Just the 12th player in school history with 100 career starts (100th start vs. #23 Louisville, 12/19/20)
• The 43rd Badger in school history to reach 1,000 career points (2/23/20 vs. Rutgers)

Thanks Mrs. Davison.  Your son has certainly compiled some stats.  Where does he rank among Badger greats in flops not called and successful hook and holds?

You'd think that a player with the 4th most starts in school history would rank higher than 19th in points and higher than 12th in steals.  Aside from the FT% (which no matta) he's just a volume stats guy.

At Madison and Badgers ranked #23 - I assume the basketball brain trust here will consider it a win just to score into the 50's this game.

Well played.

Matchup-wise on defense, how do we line it up?

Kolek- Chucky
Kam - Brad
Morsell - Davis
Lewis/O-Max - Wahl
Kuath/Oso - Crowl

Davis is the obvious threat so I think we throw a couple of different bodies at him. Our bigs need to box out and our guards need to be aggressive on the boards. It's okay if we lose the rebounding battle, but the margin needs to be small (this match up screams 2nd chance points from UW)...Maybe this is the day we get Kolek cooking from 3? Pumped for Saturday!

I agree with your match ups. After watching the Badger hot shooting Wednesday night, we need to press and guard them tight. Pressing Davis will be effective as he's not a great ball handler. Davison is dangerous. Hope Morsel can play him tight and tough. We have the depth to distant foul trouble. All in all our high energy tight defense is the key, but we must shoot well (and make free throws). Marquette will win.

What?  Your post is absurd.

I apologize for not having tribal hatred towards a stranger because he plays for the other team. 

How dare I have the audacity to be objective and respective towards the opponent.

To dismiss Davison's importance on this year's badger's team is questionable.

[Galway Eagle]

Because it's the badger. There's two teams where respect and objectivity go out the window: 1) Wisconsin  2) Notre Dame

I respectfully disagree, you can still have respect for the opponent.

Tribal hatred isn't enlightened.

It was a joke.  You posted some random counting stats about a decent player.

Regardless of who he plays for, we can agree to disagree about Davison the player.  He disappears for entire games offensively as much as he goes off.  Morsell will not be defending him and I would be shocked if he even acquires any postseason awards cause I don't think he's a top 25 player in the league.  He's a store brand Aaron Craft with far less defensive ability.

As for "respect", for the Badger program maybe, but save me "respect" when it comes to the dirtiest player in college basketball who has shown it time and time again

2 resident experts in the predations thread predicted MU scoring in the 50's

Prior to your post, there were 5.  Now there are 6, though that one doesn't even have MU breaking 50.

50 is the new 80

Hah.  Many here may be surprised that UW-Madison is the best defensive team MU will face to this point (and statistically, potentially the best all year).  And MU is not a great offensive team.  But MU should easily score in the 60s.  If they don't, see my first point.

[warriorchick]

I am going out on a limb here, but I am pretty sure that Brad Davison is the only player that has an article in a major sports publication that chronicles all of his nut shots.

If I still lived in Wisconsin, I would buy him AYCE Real Chili is they scored under 50 tomorrow.

AYCE Real Chili

Isn't that the minimum they serve?
