Badger men won their 1st game in the Maui invite today 69-58 over Texas A & M.   Badgrs started slow but tough defense forced A & M turnovers and the Badgers lead 35-34 at the half.   Bucky kept the tough defense in the 2nd half but began to tire and A & M pulled to within 7 but BUcky held on for the win.   Badgers hit 15 of 17 FT and out rebounded A & M  36-29.

Badgers next take on Houston at 4:00 CST tomorrow. Game can be found on ESPN.   Oh, and the games are being played in Las Vegas instead of Maui because of Covid protocols.

JD is becoming an elite offensive player- but his defense is real deal. 4 steals. 2 blocks. Checking then opponent’s best G… he has all the tools. He could play in the NBA if he can continue to be this kind of 2-way player. He has a lot of Dwayne Wade in him.

Here’s a problem that is going to surface more and more as this team moves forward and they start taking things that they like to do away- they only had 11 assists. Less than half their made baskets were by assist. Teams are going to start making it harder for Davis to shake loose, and force other guys to beat them. Houston did that more in the second half, and they got back in the game.

Pretty decent showing for the Badgers against a good Houston squad.   They did just enough in the 2nd half to hang on and get the W.  Davis has certainly added an element to the team on both ends of the court.

Not sure how the rest of the season will play out, but it’s an encouraging start to the year for both Wisconsin and Marquette.   Hopefully (like the Bucks) they can keep this going to make for a fun season of hoops to follow.

The Davis guys are from La Crosse…… β™₯️ β™₯️ β™₯️  I love this team….Brad Davidson might just possibly be my new boyfriend!!!!  Never have had one this young.  πŸ˜‚ 🀣 πŸ˜‚  I really think he’s the, and pardon this, the balls of this team……he’s dripping blood last night,  stuffs a Kleenex in it and keeps playing.  I β™₯️ this team.  And #1 Davis…….a gawd.  So fun watching them.

Love that Hepburn hit both those FTs. Excellent that a Freshman didn’t shrink in the moment.

Wahl showed out well. Big time bucket in the clutch. Davis is a star. Still don’t like 4 total assists in the game… really not a good sign.

At this point, it looks like he is getting the ball to make plays and score points.  The assists will come when word gets out and teams start double-teaming him.

He appears to be playing up to and beyond his expectations and potential, like you say, and absolute star.  Wahl's game is up, as is Crowl's.  Even Chuck_E's in Love Hepburn flashing some ability today! Woo hoo!!

This is a team that Gard should get full credit for exceeding everyone's pre-season expectations.  Great redemption for him so far.  They played like a well coached team against quality opponents. Houston and St. Mary's were both good teams and we straight up outplayed them both.
