Badgers were up 13 at one point, but struggling in the second half and lead falls to 5. The lack of athleticism eventually catches up to them against upper-level teams.

Badgers can't get off any shots except for heavily contested 3s at the end of the shot clock.
And now as they play Wahl as a ballhandler they are really falling apart
Feels like we are trying to waste as much time as possible to maintain our lead and are just getting garbage looks because of it. Reminds me of the Mike McCarthy prevent offense to lose games from a lead.
Offensive sets appear to be to dribble around the top of the key for 25 seconds, set a pick, and then force a contested 3 at the end of the shot clock.
Lead down 1.
Anderson and Wahl would be good D3 players. Davis is legit and probably doesn't get enough minutes.
Badgers behind.
I'm not sure why Bucky lets Michigan get set on D so easily. Wisconsin works at a snail's pace to get the ball up the floor.
Badgers score 8 points in the last 11 minutes. 2 FGs. One a Trice running bank shot.
Go 1 for their last 12 from 3.
Offensively challenged. Getting around 60 per game lately, tough to hold any half way decent team to 59.
Wisconsin is COMMITTED to not rebounding
Wis goes 7 for 28 shooting in the 2nd half

Michigan's talent is vastly better and the Badgers have nobody that can generate their own offense except maybe Davis. You'd be better off doing some early shots, but if they got into a run-and-gun game they'd be blown off the court.
yep, especially Livers, he is the real deal. Not sure any team in college basketball is really going to have a good answer for him.
pretty damn bad
Ruevers & Potter were "less than tough" ...combined ZERO rebounds in 40 minutes.
Michigan offensive rebounds killed Bucky. You just have to block out better.
You just can't be afraid of contact ... UW has too many "finesse" players.
Wisconsin has a bunch of 22 and 23 year-old graduate students (Trice is almost 25). They don't make mistakes but it's like a bunch of old guys playing at the Y. When a team with better athletes clamps down on defense, they aren't going to get good shots.
They play any team that shoot and is athletic and they are screwed. Same shit different day with a Gard team. Get all the try hard guys you can and it won’t mean a goddamn thing.
Get a real coach that can recruit and see what you can do.
