Michigan @ Wisconsin - 1PM EST Open Thread
The fancy stats and Kenpom are telling us that Wisconsin might not be as good as their record indicates.
It feels like we can get out of the Trohl Center with the victory if Dickinson stays out of foul trouble and we can hit 35-40% of our threes.
Houstan's home/away split on 3's is pretty dramatic. Need to start evening that out! (By improving on the road, not deteriorating at home.)
Go Blue!

How many years has that little asshole been at Wisconsin? Time for retribution.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:19 PM ^
Davison is the dirtiest player in CBB.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:19 PM ^
Well, at least Davison got him in the sternum rather than the groin.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:20 PM ^
Nope. Nothing to see there...
February 20th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
Time to put the last player on the bench in and take out Davidson once and for all.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
Brad Davidson needs his ass kicked. Dirtiest player in the last decade of the conference. Fuck that guy.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
"Basketball play" my ass. He intentionally elbowed him in the chest.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
That actually really didn’t look like anything from Davidson. I mean he sucks and I hate him but I didn’t see much there.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
Launching your elbow into a dudes chest is a basketball play?...
February 20th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
Couldn't we get and under the table agreement with the rest of the league that every game Davidson plays, he gets at least 5 HARD FOULS from the other team's bench mob players?
February 20th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
Houstan off to a bad start, I think this means he will play at least 35 mins today.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:22 PM ^
each team 6-14 and 0'fer 3's
February 20th, 2022 at 1:22 PM ^
I'd rather see Jonhs out there than Houston, and typing that made me throw up a little in my mouth.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:22 PM ^
Can't make anything.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:22 PM ^
I guess making shots is something we just really don’t do anymore.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:23 PM ^
I was down on Devonte early in season, and wanted to see more Frankie. I take it all back.
Please, please - one consistent thing is how bad Houstan is for this team.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:23 PM ^
Frankie Collins is early Devante Jones bad.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:24 PM ^
The invisible puppy-blocking monster is back.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:24 PM ^
Get rid of the shot clock and this could be a Michigan - Wisconsin game from 1972 instead of 2022.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:24 PM ^
I know he is keeping us in the game but Dickinson seems a little bit lazy on defense right now.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:28 PM ^
He's trying to stay in the game. They're at Wisconsin. Where you get beat up on offense and can't breathe on a guy on defense.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:25 PM ^
Please God bench Houstan.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:25 PM ^
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT HOW IS THAT AN OFFENSIVE FOUL
February 20th, 2022 at 1:26 PM ^
The Academy Award goes to...
February 20th, 2022 at 1:25 PM ^
That’s a charge? Let’s see that called on the other end then.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:25 PM ^
Hate to say it but Houston is flat out not good at this point in his career. Can get a little hot from 3 every couple games but that's about all he provides. I can still the potential but it has definitely not been realized yet.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:31 PM ^
Completely get the frustration with Houstan, but Dickinson is consistently missing easy shots every game.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:31 PM ^
He's a step slower than everyone else out there and he's weak on drives to the basket. Hopefully, it's a strength and experience thing and the kid is just a season away.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:33 PM ^
I basically said this in my freshman report card after Thursdays game and got negged heavily.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:25 PM ^
If that is a charge - How the F does Purdue, Ohio State and Iowa get away with that move every game?
February 20th, 2022 at 1:29 PM ^
Our jerseys. Include Wisconsin on that list. We just saw Brad fucking Davison make a "basketball play" by forearm/elbowing Hunters fucking ribs.
It's a fucking joke, the double standards that exist.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:29 PM ^
They charge us like Fullbacks but no calls.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:26 PM ^
You have got to be kidding me with this garbage officiating
February 20th, 2022 at 1:26 PM ^
Eli is like oil on water - such a calming influence.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:28 PM ^
Houstan and Johns both doing Houstan and Johns things is not a recipe to win on the road.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:28 PM ^
Dickinson needs a blow
February 20th, 2022 at 1:28 PM ^
Man this team is still brutal to watch
February 20th, 2022 at 1:28 PM ^
Yep, looks like a 2022 Mich game.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:28 PM ^
Dickinson needs a break. Glad we have about 4 missed bunnies from him yet allows Wahl to easily score one.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:29 PM ^
good news: we already have 5 turnovers. great!
better news: it is so windy up north (40-50mph) that the wind actually changed the channel on the TV since we're using a regular old antenna. even more fun, when the game comes in, it is all jacked up. i am missing all the great turnovers.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:29 PM ^
Time out, just enough to call up the head of officiating for the B1G.
"Hello? WHAT THE ACTUAL F..."
February 20th, 2022 at 1:29 PM ^
Why are we always so sloppy with the basketball?
I can live with poor three point shooting, but we turn the ball over constantly.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:36 PM ^
Passing is often not as crisp and sure as I'd like to see it. You want the ball to snap around the court and get the defense leaning. It's far too often just floating from player to player, makes it easier for the defense to react and stay in position.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:30 PM ^
This team is playing like they are asleep. They have until the under 4 timeout to pull their head out of their ass or they are going to get blown out.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:30 PM ^
5 turnovers.
February 20th, 2022 at 1:31 PM ^
Run some action for Bufkin, he needs to heat up quickly
February 20th, 2022 at 1:31 PM ^
Good god Houstan make a shot. Watsed trips with him shooting
And now Badgers pull away.
Great effort Bufkin!
February 20th, 2022 at 1:31 PM ^
Why is Houstan playing?
February 20th, 2022 at 1:32 PM ^
*gestures at bench*
February 20th, 2022 at 1:31 PM ^
Well I see how this game is going to go.
