Yeah, that is a bit of a bummer. I actually missed the first three minutes last night and wanted to go back and see the hot start.

I've had this in mind for the past 10 minutes or so. Top of mind, this feels like the best single performance since then, especially considering the opponent.


Johnny at Purdue is the best game ever played by a Badger. IMO of course.

The best one I ever saw was Finley vs Big Dog.

49 minutes, 33 points and the 10-steal double-double.

Definitely a good one, but I think Johnny's was better.

University of California at Los Ange-leez came to play and the Collective was down Comrades Lola and GG but a cooperative mindset means not one individual is above the group. Bounced back after set #1 and ran it back. Frankly, you love too see it.

I’m an apologist sometimes when games are close against these teams but this team cannot **** miss.

They took both Nebraska and Creighton to the wire (and then collapsed in the final minutes of both, let’s hope that repeats.

I’m assuming I’m being trolled, but if serious, how so?

I do think this UTRGV team may be interesting in March. But they are entirely going to go hot and cold.

I guess I basically said this is what the team would be before the year. Ride or die on streaky shooters. Got lucky that Arizona missed all their 3s, now gonna see the other side tonight.

Yeah…not articulated well. Other than Blackwell who is not anywhere near Storr or Davis, they don’t have a bucket-getter. Both teams tonight basically only have an efficient 3 point shooting team (and FTs for the Badgers). That’s it.

I think KLESMAX has some shot creation chops.

But yeah, we’re a bit limited on iso scoring when the threes aren’t falling.

No disagreements, but whether it's bootleg Aussie Kirk Penney or Gard opening up the offense, there's more freedom or at least no longer a mandate to swing the ball three times before shooting. Props to GG for putting the tall lumber on the pine. If Crowl and Winters aren't going to use their height advantage in a game like this, better for them to grab some upholstery and...let Carter Gil-more cook is what it says here.

Janicki looks to be the best walk-on since Showalter. Come to think of it, A-Jax and Zackie: each good for at least one wildly optimistic tip-dunk attempt. Max got his eyes on the prize: a stop at Darboy Chicken, yeah buddy. Valley's finest!
