Good start with WI missing some wide open shots and their pg not noticing some good cuts.

Mullins ate a choke hold for a few seconds there, but couldn’t get the refs to notice.

Cats have failed to capitalize on so many turn overs and defensive stops. So far the refs are mostly just staying out of the way.

12-7 when Mullins came in to play with Nicholson. PurpleWhiteBoy Alert!
Unfortunately we're not able to shoot very well as usual and multiple turnovers trying to feed Nicholson. We could be up by 10 or more. Teams have certainly figured out how to guard Martinelli now

Even when Mullens makes a 3 it's only worth 1 point

It seems like we don't set very good screens. The on ball defender seems to easily get over our screens

I like your taste. My point is just how frustrating it is to see us piss away opportunities to get significant leads. They come back to haunt us time after time.
All things considered, since Barny is not playing and we're playing a top 20 ranked team we're doing better than one would have expected.

Having Leach and Berry be legit threats from three is so nice. If the pass is crisp, I think we have that Leach to Nick for an easy shot all game.

Mullins got the technical because he was responding to something from the Wisconsin bench.
Total ******** call.

Refs swallowed their whistle on Nicholson dunk. His arm was slapped.

Hate to complain about refs again, but they never call shooting fouls for us
