Wisconsin Basketball Thread 2021-2022

[DuWayne Steurer]

Really getting saved in the early going by Colgate shooting almost as bad as we are.  

[yourout]

Kind of ugly basketball

[AKCheesehead]

Just could feel that Hepburn kick was going to cost them the halftime lead.

[pitchleague]

Certainly been an interesting (and fast!) first half.   If either team could hit some shots, they’d have a nice lead.

I like that the refs are letting them play; which means the second half will go completely the opposite ?

[yourout]

The lack of a true three-point sniper is really glaring at times.

 

[HarryDoyle]

I think Colgate recruited a few of these guys out of the backwoods of Vilas County.

[AKCheesehead]

Keep the defensive intensity up and keep playing Wisconsin offense.  Hopefully Colgate quits making everything. 

[DuWayne Steurer]

Everything Colgate had to do to be in this game, they're doing it.  Shooting crazy from 3 and outrebounding the Badgers.  

[HarryDoyle]

Colgate is a so much better shooting team. It's a wonder they're not up by 10.

[PeaveyFury]

Absolutely fantastic game, regardless of the outcome.

[young guns]

Crowl doesn't need to shoot anymore 3s.

[HarryDoyle]

Looks like Wisconsin has the officials on their side tonight.

They've gotten a few calls.

That one, not so much.

A couple more of those and it'll be even.

That block call on Crowl was beyond awful

[superfly]

Davis with about the worst 20 point game ive ever seen. This Colgate team is underseeded IMO, but a pretty bad effort all around from the white and red tonight. At least they didn’t get blown out by 35 like the other team from Wisconsin ?

[PeaveyFury]

Colgate just ran out of gas. As soon as the Badgers adjusted at the three point line, Colgate couldn’t figure out how to score.

Cummings has gotten away with at least 2 forearm shivs at least that I've seen.  They are definitely letting them play.

There was a game this season where Davis had 20 points on, IIRC, 27 shots.  So this by comparison wasn't quite as bad....

I completely agree.  It felt like a heavyweight title fight for a while. 

Gotta give Colgate some credit.  They are a very good club!

For a while, I thought maybe the Badgers were emulating the Packers in not being able to win a big post-season game on a (basically) home court.


Iowa State won't be a cakewalk, either.  They are going to be battered and bruised after Sunday's game, win or lose.

[owbc]

Colgate put up a good fight, Davis did enough when it mattered. On to Sunday. 

[homer]

Iowa St has an excellent defense but it's largely predicated on generating turnovers and UW is elite at not turning the ball over. 

[yourout]

One thing this team seems to do better than a lot of other previous badger teams is getting 6 to 10 points a game on layups on runouts
