He's a got a real chance, he reminds me of a less explosive Devin Harris.

His jumper reminds me of Ridnour.

Reminds me a bit of younger Derek Fisher

Did they just call Kafentzis a QB/DT? That has to be a typo.

That was beautiful. A difficult post entry to Hayes by Showalter. Showalter then cuts to the hoop, Hayes finds him and he gets an and 1.

The DT stands for dual threat.

LOL at Indiana getting lit up by Showalter.

Dakich says Showalter's chin was at the rim. They show the replay and it didn't even get to the net.

Dakich is drunk on the Badger juice tonight.

This is what you get when you stop trying with 10 minutes left the game.

This was a good lesson. We were up 30, acted like the it was over with 10 minutes left, and IU got close to making a game of it.

Got close? They didn't get closer than 14. They didn't make a game out of anything in the 2nd half.

I really want Frank on the Bucks next year, the length he would provide and spacing for Giannis drives would be insane.

Like if Frank is standing in the corner and Giannis is driving the center cant help off Frank or he just drains the 3. It would be great.

I said close to making a game of it. We were up by 32 with 10:41 left in the game and they had it down to 12 with 3 minutes left. How is that not close to making a game of it? I'm not suggesting they were going to win.

I don't think it was lack of effort. It was lack of defensive skill (and IU is a really good offensive team). UW's D has been pretty average since TJ went down. Not sure if they are playing soft on the perimeter because of the depth issue or if they're just not as good.

Indiana is top 20 in the country in points per possession. They are really good offensively.

Badgers played good D, got up 30 and then ran out the clock.

He was actually saying that Showalter kept his chin square to the rim, which is why he was able to complete the difficult and-1.

That's Quarterback - Dual Threat.

I was confused seeing it too at first.

If the season ended today, Wisconsin would have Pomeroy's highest Adjusted ORating he's ever tracked (since 2002).

Credit to a poster on the Wisconsin Scout board for pointing this out.
