2015-16 UW Badger Basketball Discussion Thread

[RayRayJones]

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

I'm not familiar with Pomeroy's adjusted stats, but assuming he also has a defensive rating, I'd think Kentucky is close to the best ever on that end. All the makings for one helluva championship game

Yea, Kentucky is easily the best... and its not even really close.

The offense is amazing. Indiana can score but they had no answer for anything the badgers did. Schedule eases up a bit, need to work on defense and get ready for the tourney!

[RiotPunch]

Sam was playing angry last night, and I loved it. If he can be that aggressive moving forward, watch out. This is such a fun group.

[LUKE23]

Yeah, this offense is pretty incredible. Essentially everyone can shoot the 3 ball, and we have 3 post up options. On top of that, we don't turn it over either, and also shoot well from the line.

Badgers top offense in the country, but the defense needs some work. Dribble penetration has seemed to come much easier than prior years against UW.

That 82.1 number is preposterous.

As much as I love Koenig, I think UW loses a bit on perimeter defense without TJ out there. Certainly means the guards can't be as aggressive given the lack of depth.

Thought this was great. "I've been using that stuff since the 70's. Points per possession and offensive efficiency"

[ReasonablySober]

Wisconsin is putting together the best offense college hoops has ever seen

[Johnlac1]

It would be interesting to see a Wisc. offensive system if they went from a 35 sec. shot clock to a 30 sec. clock like some people are advocating. The women play with a 30 sec. shot clock, but the men's teams coaches have always resisted a shorter shot clock. I'd like to see a 30 sec. shot clock too. It's always been tough to watch some of Bo's teams even when they were winning. Can't argue with success though. A bad shot is not much better than a turnover. And Bo's definition of a good shot is a lot stricter than many coaches definition.

[Bernman]

The starting offense is still incredible, moving the basketball until they get a slight opening or mismatch, then hoisting and making efficiently or taking their man 1 on 1.

Then when they come out it's been really ugly since Tre left the rotation. Basically all we have a lot of the time is one guy who can make shots or break his man down, and he's getting double teamed. This game it was Hayes, and we got nothing from him or the bench when they came in. I'd prefer if Bo staggered their minutes so two of Koenig, Kaminsky, Hayes, and Dekker are on the floor at all times. Brown and Dukan are just woeful right now, and Showalter has been better, but he's still Showalter.

I can understand the frustration with the officials from the opposing team in this particular game. A lot of phantom calls on them and ignoring when we're actually causing contact.

[Bernman]

Pretty good job of stopping the bleeding with the starters back in, but I'm not big on benching Koenig the rest of the half w/ 2 fouls when you have no other true point, and Gasser made a cardinal sin right at the end there.

[trwi7]

LOL what a joke of an offensive foul call that was on Kaminsky.

[Bernman]

The calls are evening out somewhat now. Collins obviously got his point across to the officials.

[GB_Packers]

Not as good of a second half but thankfully it hasn't been needed.

[xTitan]

We need to cherish every game, this is as good as it gets, big drop off coming but this team is at its best with Keonig running the show. They are the spurs of college basketball. Love watching this team!

[GB_Packers]

B1G related, Maryland loses by sixteen today at Iowa. Gotta be getting pretty close to having the regular season title wrapped up I'd think. Just take care of business and don't have any let downs.

[Mags FTW]

Diamond Stone went for 43pts 27 rebs. Man, I'd love to see him, Hayes, and Koenig together.

And Dekker. I'm in the minority that thinks he stays.

Stone + Dekker staying = another top 5/10 team.

[tski1972]

I realize he's waiting on test scores, but when can we expect a Stone announcement?
