Bucky V Illinois

A 20-0 run in the 1st half leads to a 50-25 lead for Bucky at the half. I am getting more and more impressed with Nigel Hayes.  Kid can ball.

Final of 95-70 Badgers. 7th straight game the Badgers have scored 70 or more points. The have averaged 80 points in these 7 games. But the national  media will still keep talking about the slow plodding Wisconsin Badgers.

I am sure that Bo is not pleased with the D played down the stretch, robin the second half in genrral. Over 50 points in the second half- tempers the impressiveness of the win, really.

But offensively, it's poetry. Contrary to past years, they're getting penetration, consistently better looks, finishing at the rim, pulling up from mid range... All the things we have been askin/waiting/hoping for all these years. Christ, Anderson hit a 3 tonight... a damn 3?!?!?!?!

Hayes is a blast to watch, so is the new Bronson.

 

Evan Anderson hits his first collegiate three point shot.  Never thought I would type that

 

Great game..... #4 indeed.  Give me a break, they better move up this week. Ugh.  and really what's up with Iowa moving up last week??  Oh they played well against the Badgers snark.  GO BADGERS GO.  

and the announcers talking about Sam moving onto the NBA after this season??  any truth to that??  or just BS from the announcers on tv.  

I don't see it, but he certainly appears to have pro potential.  I don' think he is a lottery pick in a deep draft, so I anticipate him coming back next year. 

Sam Dekker is a fine collegiate player, but he has light years to go to be an NBA prospect. Stay all 4, Sam...

Chase Buddinger did it....and I didn't think he was ready coming out of AZ...but he made his $$$.

 

 

Dekker would be crazy to come out IMO.

 

Next years draft is pretty top heavy with bigs and it doesn't have the high end firepower that this upcoming draft will.  I think he's a surefire top 10 pick in the 2015 draft.  

I have not see any games so far, but I did see a small portion of one game and there is something I saw that downright delighted me.

 

I don't know the player, but I am pretty sure he is a fairly big body white guy and maybe 7' tall.  Anyway, he was in the post and he shot OVER the interior defense!  I believe it was a mini-hook shot.

 

When is the last time Bucky could do that?

 

To me that is huge.

Tanner Bronson

Thanks El-Ka and way to go Tanner Bronson!!!

OK, you were joshing me.

 

Tanner Bronson: 5' 11"

5' 11" is pretty generous.

 

They say the camera adds a couple inches, or is that only in porn...?!

I looked at the roster and figure it was probably Evan Anderson or Frank Kaminsky.

 

Anyway, I have not often seen Bucky have the ability to shoot over the defense when down low.  It was nice to see.

Anderson is really a three point specialist

Guess that leaves Kaminsky!

Who the heck is Tanner Bronson?

 

There's a Bronson Koenig from La Crosse.

Frank the Tank has a nice post repertoire. He struggles against athletic bigs, but he has developed a nice little post game. Hayes, too, and he's just a FR. That's one thing missing from this team for a couple years- a guy who Shia for the entry and can work to get a decent look and convert.

A 2008 graduate of the University of Wisconsin, Bronson played four years of
college basketball for the Badgers under head coach Bo Ryan. Starting as a team
manager in 2003-04, he was added to the roster as a walk-on in 2004-5. Bronson
eventually was offered a scholarship, and the Kohl Center fan-favorite appeared
in 29 games during his Wisconsin career.   Her had a total of 25 points in his Badger career.

 

He is currently an assistant coach at St. Louis University. 

 

Good one E-K-B!!!!
