Offense is hard when you've got one to two guys on the floor that the opposing team doesn't have to guard. The injuries have just crushed us. And now Boo clearly isn't moving well on that knee.

Don't agree wisconsin had a 17 to 1 run last time the played. Nu was at full strength. Collins has to find a wrinkle. I would let Lanborg handle the point.
Lid on the basket right now. They're not bad shots. Some of these will start falling in the 2nd half. We just need to keep it close at the half.
Nice little jumper from Hunger at the end. That feels like a huge bucket to me, making it a 4-point game at the half.
You can't go up 10 or 11 and just start chucking up bad shot after bad shot... game of runs or not we just let them right back into it with bad shot selection.
I HOPE SO! Barney and Borg are struggling with open shots. Also Martinelli but most of his are contested
Most concerned about Boo's health. Per the radio, the refs are just letting everyone beat the crap out of each other.
Yet another hard fought battle between these two fine institutions. Looking forward to the second half.
Some, but also a lot of missed, clean looks. Defense stepped up but guys not named Boo need to make shots
John Blackwell had a nice body check on Martinelli going after a loose ball, then was rewarded with the ball instead of having a foul called. Tyler Wahl currently the player of the game for Wisconsin with 0 points, 2 turnovers, 2 fouls, and 1 injury caused to Buie. Good times.
This is March ball gotta love it.
Another thing since they are over playing Boo, have him back screen for the Bigs and get a couple of layups, then they can't be as aggressive with Boo.
He should have tried that when the kids were in

Blake Smith has returned to earth today. Two missed free throws, an airball from the corner, and a mistake in positioning causing a turnover. To answer an earlier post, NO, we do not give him a scholarship and take away a possible big add in the transfer season (or in the late signing period).
I feel like we're playing with house money at this point. Any win we get going forward either here or in the NCAAs is just bonus. Once we lost two key starters, things got really tough. We just don't have the depth to sustain that.
Coaches amaze me sometimes. Wisconsin was revesing the ball and getting to the middle and scoring so they come out and do the stuff that got them behind in the first place.
At least Collins is trying the back screens now,

I don’t know much about Gard, brother.
But I sure loved seeing Smith & Clayton trying to figure it out in the first half.
It's really unbelievable. They've legislated that play out of college basketball. It's awful. Even the NBA still has the charge.
