I guess they could improve down the stretch, but man right now Wisconsin just looks like a team thats going to have trouble getting over the hump and beating just about anyone whos at least decent.

The game against Marquette will be telling, and it's really the last opportunity they'll have for anything of significance OOC. I think they'll improve down the stretch, but it could all be for nothing at this point. They can probably only afford at most 6 more losses before the B1G tournament, and they already have that now. I think winning at PSU is a pretty good win, and one I didn't expect. Plus they also have to play MSU and Purdue twice, which could be a good thing in that it gives them opportunities for marquee wins, but also likely they go 0-4.

Holy fuck Iowa sucks

Starting to think they may be the worst team in the B1G this season.

@rmilia1 is Fran gonna be on the hot seat if this continues? He's been at Iowa for like 8 years and I can only remember them winning 1 tournament game.

This team makes me sick . Undisciplined shit ball . It's too bad because the stretches they play disciplined they're pretty good. 18+ turnovers every game . Bad free throw shooting , bad sjotcsekction . I know they're young but they're not inexperienced . Fran's worst job by a lot

He should be if this continues. The guy can recruit players, but the amount of undisciplined play and poor fundamentals is on the coaches. It's a young team, but they have backslid from last year.

I realize we aren't a Tier 1 basketball program and I hate sending a decent coach down the road, but at some point you have to reach a higher level consistently. We expect more than this.

Yes. We're feeling California, but looking Minnesota.

Cal lost to Central Arkansas by 27 for their 6 loss of the season

With all due respect, you don't do that with football, so why would you do it with basketball?

We have quite a bit more history with the basketball program. And btw, if we weren't going to a bowl game every year, Ferentz would have been shown the door as well. Nobody is expecting the Final Four or CFP- just that the teams make it to the Tourney (hopefully win a game or two) or a decent bowl game.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Badgers will win today.

With no Frolling still(not sure if he'd matter even) we have almost no chance against Happ. 8 guys and no real proven big is not good.

Only shot is Howard not getting in any sort of foul trouble, which is rare.

Absolutely waxing Bucky until the fouls set in

No depth.

Rowsey and Howard with 3 and 2 fouls each

 

[mr.hockey4242]

False alarm.

This badger team is abysmal.

Kohl Cookin from the refs couldn't even keep it close

They were without lottery pick King tho

 

[pumpkinhead33793]

Hard to see Wisconsin making the tournament this year.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

@Great Dayne lottery pick King is done for year

 

[osubuckeye89]

Hard to see Wisconsin making the tournament this year.

Not a chance unless they catch serious fire during conference play.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I like how Michigan can win a game like tonight and last game, but choke away a game two games ago.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Nice win for Michigan tonight. Texas has had an interesting start.

 

[Skerpokes]

Will Wisconsin lose tonight to Western Kentucky?
