northwestern is god awful. I have no clue how this happened at home

 

[TrollyMcTroller]

Hey! Remember when it used to be hard to get a W in the Kohl's Center?

ummm...it's because wisconsin isn't really that good. I thought that would have been obvious by now

 

[dcZONAfan]

also how badly have we all been overrating the B10? Elite at the top, but the depth 3-6 that we thought was RIDICULOUS just simply isn't there

 

[dcZONAfan]

wait i know why. There isn't a single ELITE basketball conference this season. Big 12 certainly isn't, just a lot of pretty good teams and one elite team

This was an ugly loss for Wisky. Northwestern had lost 45 of it's last 48 against ranked opponents on the road. But not tonight!

I was at the northwestern games when they played DePaul and iowa. I have no clue how they won this game

Collins is a great hire but I didn't think coaching could help this team. Jordan Crawford is decent. demps is a 2nd or 3rd guy off the bench on a regular team. they have no talent. they were saying on the radio that Collins 5 recruits coming in next yr are going to be their 5 starters as freshman

Wisconsin looks legit

 

[BearDownUA]

yikes, Wisconsin and OSU trying to race each other to the bottom of the standings

 

[tshirt]

to be fair, Wisconsin was only preseason #20/21

ND was preseason #21/22 and they are 2-6 in ACC play

Oregon was preseason #18/19 and they are 2-5 in Pac 12 play

Yep, all the more the reason for Coaching to be the difference. I agree they have nothing talent-wise other than D-1 players. In college, it takes talented players for sure to win consistently. But in order for a three star to play up to a 5 star player and beat a ranked team? IMHO it definitely is coaching.

We were up 40-12 on them in their house less than a month ago. It's not a talent thing. It's an "our team isn't mentally there" thing.

Our team is plenty good when they want to be. They just don't seem to give a fuck.

Wisconsin is slow as fuck. Like always.

a team that can't get mentally there, no matter how talented, is IMO not that good no matter what the talent level is. also you can't play defense, so...ya
