then the BigTen starts. Good luck coach Gard, be nice if you could start your own string of "never finish below 4th place" runs in the conf.

Good Luck to Gard I feel he will need it this year. I like the young guys but he will need to be patient.
I think a .500 record in the Big Ten would be a big achievement with this group. I think they'll be good next year if Hayes comes back, but the key will be whether any of the freshman (other than Happ who is already a good player) improve the way many others have as they progress through the program.
If these guys keep getting better, they should be right back where they always be.
Itll be interesting to watch the substitution patterns... That' one of the things I always scratched my head about with Ryan.
He keeps calling it the swing, but it does not look like the swing to me
Badgers go on a 20-2 run. Lead 35-18 inside 4 of the 1st half.
Jordan Hill is so much better as a point guard than Showalter.
Yeah, Showy really isn't a one. More of a 2 that can't shoot that well.
So is Koenig. He looks distracted.
Man, under Bo the whole team would be sitting on the bench after the performance this half. Awful!
This team is going oh fer in the Big 10.
Hill was the only PG doing anything and he has barely played in the second half. Koenig is awful. Thankfully Showy just fouled out. Baaaad.
Hayes has been a man among boys today.
26 turnovers, 8 by Koenig.
Ugly win and had the game been 5 minutes longer not sure Badgers win this game
Things could be worse though - you could be Minnesota getting blown out at home by UWM
Nice to see Hill get unshackled, Alex I got some court time as well. Thomas, otoh, did not see the court as much. Bucky really played well from the 10 minute mark Otto the 30 minute mark, then the wheels fell of.
First coaching comment? I was screaming for him to call a time out after the 10th turnover, swearing because he didn't after the 15th. Something needed to happen to stop them from giving the ball right back. It was like he was trying to be the anti Bo Ryan out there.
Still didn't really see the swing offence yesterday, even though they talked on and on about it coming back.

Interesting observations.
A return of the swing?
Deeper use the bench?
