Wisconsin Badgers Basketball

Fish. I guess earlier in the day Brent Musburger (sp?), Steve Lavin and Erin Andrews went ice fishing with Greg Stiemsma and some of his family members. They kept bringing it up, and even called Stiemsma "The Fisherman" a couple times. I think we might hear that as much as "Polar Bear" on ESPN telecasts from now on.

[wisconsinfan47]

They were completely obsessed with the "fish" theme tonight.

 

No joke, they showed a graphic of Brian Butch compared to an actual polar bear, and listed that both of their favorite hobbies included "fishing." Apparently, polar bears have hobbies...

[Oldcity]

The Polar Bear crap was painful before they showed that graphic. Man. Do you think it's more annoying for Badger fans, or for fans of the opposing team?

I'm glad they got both Michigan games out of the way early - that team is really improving as the year goes along.

That seems to happen yearly -- as Michigan seems to have way too much athleticism to be bottom-feeders, but they don't have the coaching (or haven't).

 

They certainly looked a lot better than they did in Ann Arbor, they didn't/couldn't cover Leuer who was shredding them from the outside.

Hawing, were you at the game last night? I was there and as a Michigan fan I never expected them to even be within 15 points of Wisconsin. Michigan is the worst rebounding team in the Big 10 and just destroyed Wisconsin on the boards. Do you think that is going to be a concern to happen again when they face Michigan State and Indiana? It wasn't the way I wanted the game to turn out but it was a good game nonetheless, well courtside seats help cure that too.

[hawing]

I was indeed, and I admit on the way to the Kohl Center I was remembering the game at Michigan and thinking, 'hmm, this shouldn't be too hard.' That'll show me.

 

I'm even less of a stathead for basketball than I am for baseball, but even I am dismayed by how Wisconsin has fared recently in rebounding. I hope they solve that by the time they face Indiana (which gives them about a week) and MSU. We don't have tickets to all games but we have those two, plus Penn State in March.

 

Courtside seats, hmm...you weren't that guy in the Michigan shirt that the videoboard kept showing, were you?

As far as the future of the program goes, might we see the return or Robb Jeter as an assistant coach soon? FIVE players have left UWM since the season started. And I remember the debates on how great a job UWM was.

My brother and I decided that in 2014, Tony Bennett should become the new head coach because by then: A) Bo Ryan will have a D1 title or two under his belt and will want to retire on top, and B) that's when Bennett's contract is up with Washington State. (I'm only half joking about this).

Yeah, that was me they kept showing on the scoreboard. I knew it was a matter of time before it happened because the camera guy kept looking at me all game. At least I didn't get as big of a boo as the kid did in the Bears jersey http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif.

"FIVE players have left UWM since the season started. And I remember the debates on how great a job UWM was. "

 

I think they've won something like 7 of 8 since most of those guys left. (and the one loss was at Butler)

[dadofandrew]

Players leave all the time, from every team, Good to see them doing well in conference.

[TooLiveBrew]

Not 5, though. Yes, each program sees a guy or two leave each year, but 5 is a startling number. Good to hear Jeter's been able to do just fine without them!

Badgers playing very tough right now vs a good Indiana team

[Getpaddled]

I am sick and tired of them talking about Gordan's wrist....... ahhhhh someone shut them up..... is there not anything else you can talk about??? Okay.. drinking game... everytime they say Gordan or wrist drink 1 shot.. if they say both togeather make it a double.... See ya tomorrow night after I get my tummy pumped...

[jason21nl]

if they start up with the polar bear, its going to be just as bad

[jason21nl]

Badgers came to play tonight...what an awesome pass and layup

[trwi7]

The best part of this game is Erin Andrews. Oh yeah, the game is pretty cool too.

[RyDogg66]

Erin Andrews looking especially fetching this evening.

 

Badgers look alright too.

[wOOgiE22]

I think Erin Andrews looked even better when I was sitting front row, 2 feet away from her last Tuesday at the Michigan Wisconsin game. I had no camera, so I couldn't get a picture haha!

[jason21nl]

they just showed her a couple times smiling. I could watch that all day

 

 

badgers better start to make some shots

[jason21nl]

a 15-2 run has really got Indiana back in the game. Badgers better step up the D

[Hammer]

Is anyone else sick of seeing Crying Calvin Sampson on the sidelines? C'mon, this is basketball...not a soap opera.

Im pretty sure you could say the same thing about Bo Ryan every game, and just about every D-1 coach. ever watch Bruce Pearl coach a game? It's the nature of the beast, so to speak.

 

[jason21nl]

a ton of foul calls going both ways right now.
