go blue!
January 19th, 2019 at 11:48 AM ^
Guess I was late to the punch. Mods, take down my thread. This one is better anyway! Go Blue.
January 19th, 2019 at 11:51 AM ^
WHOOP
THAT
ASS
January 19th, 2019 at 11:55 AM ^
KICK BUCKY BUTT
January 19th, 2019 at 12:04 PM ^
defense looks good early on
January 19th, 2019 at 12:06 PM ^
oh man, Dakich is slobbering over M and Beilein early and often.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:06 PM ^
January 19th, 2019 at 12:07 PM ^
I can't stand Wisconsin basketball. They always seem to drag you into a slopfest. They're very much like MSU football in that regard.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
I hope we make the NCAA tournament this year
January 19th, 2019 at 12:51 PM ^
We might win a game in the BTT and squeak into the first four, if we're lucky. Let's just hope we don't draw Providence in the opening round.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
Gotta love the ticky tack make up call on Teske. Big Ten refs!
January 19th, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
No whistles in first 3 minutes, now 4 in last minute. Consistency.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:09 PM ^
Here we go...can't breathe on Happ
January 19th, 2019 at 12:12 PM ^
How dare Davis cut off his drive
January 19th, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
Davis fouls at an incredible rate. Johns might need to see the floor today. Happ will Attack bigs getting them in foul trouble today.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
Looks like Austin Davis is going to be used for his 5 fouls today
January 19th, 2019 at 12:11 PM ^
If by today, you mean the first 10 min, I agree
January 19th, 2019 at 12:11 PM ^
Austin Davis is way too slow to play D on Ethan Happ. Also, couple ridiculous fouls called early this far. Gunna be a game featuring the refs it seems
January 19th, 2019 at 12:11 PM ^
Davis comes in and fouls right away. Sounds about right.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:11 PM ^
I see the bullshit refereeing train has left the station early today.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:12 PM ^
Charles can't dribble
January 19th, 2019 at 12:13 PM ^
Yeah, it’s sad to say. He won’t get a sniff in the nba. Might as well head over seas and see what’s available.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:20 PM ^
Sort of frustrating. Expected him to improve on some of his weaknesses in offseason. Really didn’t. Shooting is what it is. Dribbling though can be executed with tons of practice. Awful dribbler for a 6-5-6-6 guy.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:13 PM ^
Very slow and ugly start
January 19th, 2019 at 12:13 PM ^
Matthews with the typical selfish possession
January 19th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
And again
January 19th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
Simpson Hook shot - DRINK!
January 19th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
Davis has no chance one on one vs Happ. He'll need help.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
Not super impressed with Charles Mathews
January 19th, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
He's trying too hard.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:14 PM ^
Happ needs to be called when he lowers his shoulder and drives.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
That's Wiscy's base offense
January 19th, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
Davis really needs to get off the floor. Prefer Johns at this point
January 19th, 2019 at 12:17 PM ^
This matchup is precisely why Davis is a useful piece.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
Feel free to start scoring. Simpson slipping all over the place. Matthews still needs to improve handles.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
Goddamn, Z, what a pass!
January 19th, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
C’mon guys. Put Sconnie away.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:16 PM ^
Doubt that will happen for 30 more minutes
January 19th, 2019 at 12:17 PM ^
This is going to be a dogfight for 40 minutes.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:16 PM ^
Great job Davis
January 19th, 2019 at 12:16 PM ^
We have a tremendous speed and athleticism advantage. I would like to exploit that.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:16 PM ^
Kinda hope to see Johns today. Assuming Teske gets in foul trouble.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:17 PM ^
Z reading the D now. Told Austin Davis a min ago to roll and watch for it
January 19th, 2019 at 12:17 PM ^
Those rims sound like trash
January 19th, 2019 at 12:18 PM ^
Kohl Center is overrated.
January 19th, 2019 at 12:18 PM ^
Happ simply being allowed to "plow" his way to the basket...complete BS by the refs
January 19th, 2019 at 12:20 PM ^
Definitely has some sort of white privilege shit going on there. It’s one of those situations, nothing we can do but out play them. Better team with a better coach
January 19th, 2019 at 12:31 PM ^
White privilege???
January 19th, 2019 at 12:49 PM ^
Joke...?
January 19th, 2019 at 2:10 PM ^
Unis, right?
