He didn't put it back down. If he would've put it back down it's a carry.

Ahh, makes sense.

I hope we come out in the 2nd half and bury them. No letdowns please.

I hope Koenig spends the entire offseason working on his dibble drive game and finishing around the hoop. He's quick enough to get there anytime he wants, he just doesn't have the confidence to execute it right now.

Dukan needs to be limited to the Tim Jarmusz role. Either shoot the open 3 or keep the ball moving. Anything else he tries to do is usually a disaster.

If this is a serious injury to Gasser then Bernman might get his wish granted regarding Hill's redshirt being pulled.

Well this was easy. Always nice to just sit back and enjoy a stress free win.

What a beatdown, holy ****. Hilarious that Vitto Brown almost managed to foul out of a game he barely played in.

Only one turnover for UW.

Well, that was fun. Too bad for that airball a minute into the game, otherwise zero turnovers. That would've been spiffy.

Easily the best game we've played this year, might end up being saying that after the season too. We made a pretty decent Iowa team look like a complete joke.

One TO vs a pressing top 25 team. Koenig is legit.

That Woodbury punk needs a beat down, what a worthless POS

I couldn't believe how bad the announcer got after him. Never heard such harsh comments about a college player on air before. Pretty much spot on but still a little jarring.

They looked really good. Koenig was great. Zak is still a problem area though. I really want Trey back at full strength for the end of the season. That injury is so dicey though. Can't come back to early without real risk to the longterm health.

Happy to gut out a tough road win, but man did they work hard to keep Michigan in the game at the end. No reason that should have ever come close to going into OT. They really need to be conscious of getting Kaminsky even more touches on a regular basis. We spent a large portions of that 2nd half ignoring him on offense and as soon as we started going to him in OT, good things happened.

Zero bench points. Yikes. That's not gonna fly in the tourney.

On the other hand, it's impressive to get a win on the road when that happens.

I wanted to punch Dan Schulman in the face tonight. Even in the beginning of the game when it was like 11-9, Michigan would score and for some reason he would get really excited and tell everyone that "Michigan was hanging in there."

He did that the entire **** night, basically being a cheerleader for Michigan.

The Badgers almost did a terrific job of choking that game away.

Luckily (or should I say hopefully?), the bench should be deeper come tourney time with Jackson coming back.

Dukan has been a disappointment. He sprinkles in a few 3 pointers which is nice, but he continues to be a liability in pretty much every other aspect of the game.

Vitto Brown is the real problem though. We can barely get Kaminsky a breather in these games because it's an instant **** three-ring circus everytime Brown comes in.

Am I the only one who is a Zak Showalter fan? He does all of the little things. I'm sure Bo loves him. He's tips rebounds away from opposing players, plays good D, knocks down his free throws. He's the ultimate pesky player.

Has and offensive rating of 133 and a defensive rating of 87. Both REALLY good. Guys saying he's not a D1 talent can get out of here. He's perfect on this team with so much offensive fire power around him.

As long as he grabs offensive rebounds instead of trying to do put back dunks I'm ok with him.
