Wisconsin Badgers Thread

[MVP2110]

You may have figured out by now, but they're wires not lines. And yes I assume it's camera related. Took me a few mins too.

Wires makes more sense indeed.

My buddy just got a 220 inch TV for his sports bar in Green Bay. Price tag...........




$75k. It's the second largest TV, in the city, next to Lambeau jumbotron

Which bar?

[midranger]

Stanford is big and experienced. I think this win will look quite good by the end of the year.

College basketball in hotel convention ballrooms > college basketball in stadiums.

Give me the plausibility of a shot brushing against a chandelier over a damn cave with approximately 40% of the seats filled.

[Kerb Hohl]

Haven’t watched much Badger ball yet. Did Wahl improve his shot? FTs and 3Ps seem to be working for him

The FTs have changed night and day for him. He went from bad to good, and I think we knew it was in there.

He's gonna attempt some 3s and probably end up shooting like he did early in his career. In the 20-25% range. Probably not too efficient but if he hits a few absolutely wide open ones, great.

Friend of mine at the game: "Let's not [play at Miller Park] ever again."

I was skeptical going into it and said No to it a few times. Ended up going kind of last minute when a friend got tickets in the stands right behind the team benches on the field, which came with food/drinks. But yea my takeaway was also that if not in those good seats/view I don't think it would've been a good experience. I'd vote no to it for a blah game like this. Maybe if you made it some kind of bigger 4 team event with bigger name schools, ok. But still, the view of the game would still be terrible unless on the field. It also popped in my head to maybe try it once for MU/UW and see if that makes it better. I just don't think you can overcome how bad the view/seats are though.

For the team, I know the total points wasn't great but another game of positive signs for aggressiveness and willingness to shoot on O.

I'd rather they play at Lambeau next year than repeat that.

[MickeyDavis]

Ugly ugly game

[buckboy]

If this game were a horse, they'd shoot it.

[MikeIsGood]

Woof.

[Mags FTW]

Another exciting year of Badger basketball.

[tski1972]

That seemed more like the team I expected to see this season. Hopefully it was due to them looking forward to the Atlantis tourney.

[chonestown]

Almost unfathomably bad performances from Crowl, Wahl and Hepburn on the same night.

If you choose to believe this is who UW is this year, that's on you, amigo.

[jute2003]

That boxscore tells me I'm glad I missed this one. I didn't know it was possible for Wahl and Hepburn to shoot that poorly.

Onto the next one

[DingleJerry]

Some of the worst basketball I've forced myself to watch. IDK if Hepburn was drunk or what but wow was he bad. As someone said, it's impossible for all 3 of those guys to play that bad at the same time again so it shouldn't normally be like this but still. The lineup they were running out from like 10-5 mins left in the 2H was embarrassing for a high major team. But, those top 3 were playing so badly and Essegian kept making dumb mistakes to get himself yanked before you get any points out of him. Big step back this game, just so boring to watch.

Yeah I'm gonna say this is more of an exception than the norm.

I'm not sure they're going to be a 2 or a 3 seed, but I don't think they're going to regularly be atrocious on offense. They are still shooting the 3 well and they're not going to brick every layup they take in other games. I still think it's a decent tournament team.

That's not to say I am not already fearing/feeling the 27% shooting night in the Big Ten Tournament or in the 2nd round of the dance, but I don't think expectations coming into the year should be, "they will brick layups all season."

[MikeIsGood]

The woes from last game are continuing thus far. Team looks utterly worthless on offense aside from Essegian, who also took a heat check and got pulled.

[Ryan5UW]

Goddamn this is some exciting basketball.

[buckboy]

Great defensive effort. This is one of what will be many rockfights this season.

[neiLz]

Badgers D is legit. They rarely give up open shots. But on offense... If they could hit open shots they could be very good. Their offense gets them open 3s and they can flat out go stone cold.

[neiLz]

Can't have a college basketball game without some cheating refs. 5 quick random foul calls on the badgers to start the second half after basically nothing called in the first.
