2015-16 UW Badger Basketball Discussion Thread

I dunno, I think right around when Jeter got the UWM job, a lot of the insiders were pretty low on his abilities. Maybe I'm mis-remembering.

I think one thing that Gard did that he deserves credit for but was just more of a natural thing was going back to their old school tendencies. For some reason they were going with the complete "olé" defense and the 2013-2015 pick/roll/pop offense that was suited for their superstar offensive players that they didn't want getting in foul trouble.

Now, they're playing with good defensive principles but getting a little bit more up on the player on defense and are using the swing off and on. Granted, they've also just started to isolate Hayes as well.

I think Bo didn't really enforce this because he had a foot out the door. Eventually he'd have gone to this as well.

Exactly, they've essentially gone back to the old grind out way they have always played when they didn't have great players. Bo was flexible and allowed a lot the last two years and back in the Harris/Tucker, even Butch era. But prior to that run, and then again the few years before the FF seasons they did it this way.

To me the Xs and Os and results are somewhat secondary to the overall history he's shown here. Though the turnaround is certainly a great sign that the players are in his corner and responding. Which is also evident in how much they don't hide the fact that they want him to take over.

Long way to go but Bucky off to a solid start

[Turk Nowitzki]

Gotta take advantage while they're playing like **** and build a lead because you now they will make a run at some point.

[MickeyDavis]

Vito Brown has been stepping up the last few games.

[MikeIsGood]

I knew it had been a while, but I couldn't believe it was 15 and a half minutes that Maryland went dry

Sweet thunder from Khalil!

[tski1972]

Amazing first half by Bucky.

[trwi7]

Eject Stone.

[MikeIsGood]

Oh look, Diamond Stone being a tool. That's surprising.

[Turk Nowitzki]

**** off Diamond Stone. WTF was that?

[BUCKnation]

It would be so easy to trash talk Stone.

What a POS, I can't believe that.

[trwi7]

Not even a flagrant? WTF?

[MikeIsGood]

What a load of horse ****.

[4xBuck]

Did the NCAA allow Kaminsky and Dekker to play in the first half?

Wow... Amazing half for Bucky!

[Ill-yasova]

Bull****.

[trwi7]

How do you mess that up so badly when you look at the replay?

[Turk Nowitzki]

ARE YOU **** KIDDING ME?

[MickeyDavis]

Stone is a punk

A complete load of ****.
