geez o peez hawkeye dudes?
you sure picked a crappy game to collapse in.

skunkbears just upped the ante...
looks like they'll be bringing their A game into the Brez on Saturday.

Izzo's on record as saying it's better for B1G basketball if Michigan and Michigan State are competitive.

Izzo was lying...no Spartan would argue that perennial dominance is much preferred over occasional parity between the two.

That Hollins sprain looked bad. I doubt he returns.

Now that means Mav plays. Uggggghhh.

I apologize to Michigan, I completely undersold them without McGary

Come on offense, need to pick it up. We're not good enough on defense to play this inefficient offensively.

 

[wiskyisgood12]

It may be a rough day for myself and my fellow Badger fans when Coach Ryan puts in Zach effing Bohannon.

His sprain definitely looked bad, hopefully he'll be okay.

Just as important is Frank Kaminsky getting in foul trouble early, Vitto Brown and Zach Bohannon have had to play which is bad news.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Austin Hollins needs to just fucking quit. It's getting embarrassing.

 

[wiskyisgood12]

Take that Minnesota offense, we'll just keep giving you relatively easy jump shots and hope you miss them; the Badger defensive philosophy.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

This game is starting to get annoying. Mathieu in foul trouble because the ticky tack shit is starting to pile up.

Hate when this happens.

It just seems like Minnesota wants it more. They are getting all the 50/50 balls. Without Dre Hollins, it's clear to me that we are the more talented team. It's just a matter of hustle and execution.

Terrible gamble by Nigel, not the time for that.

That's the problem, this is Bo's most talented team, but far and away the worst defensive team. There's a lot of young guys playing, but we should be better defensively.

It's only a 6 point game at the half.

If we lose this game, a lot of the blame has to go to Bo for taking Kaminsky out with those two fouls early. It's night and day for the interior defense.

Michigan played a hell of a game tonight and totally knocked Iowa out of any sort of rhythm. Iowa didn't crash the boards at all and couldn't spring anyone for 3 balls.

Our guys were too inconsistent and couldn't put a first half together with a second half and vise-versa. Uthoff, olaseni and olglesby were invisible.

Still the lack of rebounds and amount of second chances we gave UM was the difference. Iowa reverted to last season tonight and need to get it fixed...

Agree and disagree. You have to trust the player to play with 2 fouls, but we really couldn't afford him picking up a 3rd ticky tack foul early on. It's unfortunate Evan Anderson never turned anything so we could squeeze a couple minutes out of him.

Dumb foul by Dekker, no need to reach like that.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I hate being that complainer but the fouls they are calling on the gophers today are a straight joke.

 

[ericd7633]

Can we close it out? Really like how walker and mathieu are playing. Austin Hollins really needs to start doing something, just anything, please.

 

[wiskyisgood12]

It's been inconsistent on both ends.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Jarvis Johnson at the game. Both Minny and Wisco in on him. I guess about 11 schools are right now.

He likes the gophers temp and the badgers offensive sets. Odd considering they are polar opposite things lol. Gonna have to pick one.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Sorry but absolutely not. The gophers are being called for everything.

We are the team owning the paint right now but couldn't get in the bonus in first half? Bucky was in double bonus and already in the bonus now.
