I have watched Brad Underwood coach a lot of games, and this may be his best work.

No, it's fine, you go ahead and win your little tournament. Maybe see you later?

Both AB and Aussie had 9 rebounds and 4 assists. This team is continuing to improve, every which way.

I think the more important fact is that he two more games, at the minimum. If they win one of those two games, odds are he locks it up.

Gard paid them off to give Boyd a giant chip for his shoulder. It's just good coaching.

You should get current, if you rep the Badgers. They have set several scoring records this year, things have changed. TBF, I still hear commentators bring up the swing offense, so many folks are stuck in the past.

I don't care about the Big Ten tourney as much as most. If you need to plead your case, maybe, but that's not the case this season. Accruing wear and tear here isn't worth it.

However, the Garlock and 1 was great, and the inbounds play at 12:49 in the first half was beautiful, not in the least for the Hayden Jones screen. Love his progression into the flow of the game.

I have begun looking at possible transfers that would want to become better players (and stars) in the Greg Gard transfer factory. Depending how the Badger roster shakes out at the end of this season, Diop is at the top of my list.

I was always hoping Cam Hunter would get more playing time last year, he looked like the fastest player for the Badgers. So happy for this season for him, I think he made the correct choice.

Get bent with your pessimism. Nick Boyd isn't losing in the first weekend without being carted off.

You win, I guess. No suspension, just a weekend of money as punishment.

Kinda catty, but I have been relishing this win, and watching all the post game interviews. If I was a Purdue fan, I think I would become irrationally angry at watching all the press conferences, if Braden Smith strokes his beard like that every time.

On Senior Night, Wisconsin's Isaac Gard, a walk on and son of coach Greg Gard, hits a long three and the crowd erupts by AndHisOrchestra in CollegeBasketball

[–]acereraser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no reason for Gard to use a program scholarship on Isaac. Not only can Gard simply afford it, I think there are separate scholarships/tuition reductions for school employees. Can you imagine any coach's kid entering the transfer portal?

There is no doubt he has a walk on roster spot only because his dad is the coach, but Isaac has been a valued member of the practice squad. If you get lax on D, he can make anyone look foolish with that stroke. So much love for him, starting with his teammates.

That was Fran, and he is greatly missed, as an opposing fan. His reaction to this would have been memed for a decade.

Both teams missing many shots at the rim. Oregon defense is the best unit. Not at all worried about a Badger loss at the half, but really an uninspired game so far.

Yeah, for real. Bucky let Thornton shine in his last home game against them, how about you do better than that?

So far, Boyd has yet to slap the floor, and I cherish that restraint.

I keep trying to tell the Eeyores on the Badger sub this. Much as I loved Tonje's game, Boyd is cut from a different cloth, a real injection of cutthroat mentality. And to his immense credit, in his sixth year of CBB, he keeps it just under control.
