Gophers at Bucky

We'll lose for sure now.

This team cannot shoot. Dreadful at the line and bad everywhere else. Jeff P. indicated Dekker has to learn to play better D to see floor time. Maybe his D isn't perfect but if you reverse that reasoning Evans, Jackson, Ginger and Brust need to shoot better to see floor time. Maybe we need to start Mante T'eo's girlfriend. He (she) can shoot equal to Evans.

Based on the recent performances of these two juggernauts they should change the rules and let the forst one to 50 win, that's if either one gets to 50.

Over or under, 5 minute field goal drought fot the Badgers?

Lotta negativity here...

I see a Bucky win and another nail in the Tubby coffin...

If this team has any sack at all, they win convincingly. Marshall needs to learn how to integrate his style of play I to what they're doing. Good article in the JSO about that- he's their best penetrator and as such can creat more for the spot up shooters. Better rhythm shots should help the scoring droughts.

If they can start piecing together the various little positives they have been able to create the last few weeks, they could peak come Tourney time...

I will agree that they should win at home if Indiana wasn't a complete fluke but don't underestimate the Gophers. They are again underachieving as they have every year under Smith but they have a ton of talent and athleticism. Be interesting to see if they continue to melt down or rebound and save their season.

someone want to tell Berggren he is a senior and it would be nice if he started playing like one ...

BTW, when Evans is Bucky's goto guy, we are in trouble in close games.

What a bs call

Bruiser barly touched him

Alls well that ends well.

Nails by Jackson. Guy drives me crazy, lazy turnover, then nails a last second shot like a senior. I like the way both guards are maturing.

Everybody seems to have missed that he made the shot. The foul turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Bad basketball on that court today but we'll take it!

Just left Kohl Center and what an ending

Evans was nearly a major goat for missing the FTs and ironically it was Minnesoduh that missed one to seal the deal.

Jackson played a nice game and his D on Hollins was very solid. He torched Brust but that will happen.

Dekker also needs to be starting over Evans. Make it happen Wisconsin

I posted this somewhat tonge in cheek but looks spot on. I did not see the game, not on out here. From reports it was brutal.....any long scoreless stretches?

All I want to know is how did the Minnesota guy hurt his hand or wrist?

Way after play was stopped and then faked an injury.

Was it after the play? The announcers seemed oblivious to the whole thing. Regardless, it seemed to me a perfect no call situation and if they let them play they are tied.

LOL... the wrist "injury"? That'll be an interesting one to follow up on. But the call on Bruiser was atrocious.

I caught something watching this- Ryan Evans goes "lazy eye" right as he shoots the FT. Might have something to do with the plummeting FT %?

probably doesn't help he is shooting totally sideways

Looks like he has an exotropia, but it might just look that way due to the camera angle. Chances are if he has one, it's there all the time and he's got no real stereo vision and relatively poor depth perception. I'm guessing if that's the case that he has learned to compensate for this as people do (assuming it's been there for most of his life).

His eyes were fine right up until the shot was made. When he goes to realease the ball, his eye checks out. Before that, they're locked in fine.

Here's what I don't get

Evans shot 73% from the stripe the last two seasons. This year he's hovering around 60%. That's a huge drop and I'm not sure his eyes have anything to do with it.

The Badgers in general have been a very good FT shooting team in the past, but not this year.

Seriously, if you have good form and practice enough free throws ... anyone should be able to shoot free throws with their eyes closed.

I listened to Rick Barry(and he did it underhanded) once talk about it and Rocket Rod Foster chat about it,
so I then did what they said, it works. Too bad I was out of high school before I listened.

Its calculated: Center yourself to the rim, have your legs spread enough to be outside the rim on either side, bring the ball to the center of your body, shooting hand under ball so that elbow ends up at yur nose on the shot, limp wrist so you can get good snap allowing for good backspin on shot and start with bent knees and slight lean forward and then go to shoot. You are not shooting the ball as much as you are trying to ge it over front of rim, the ball amazingly deadens. By setting up as they said I never thought I was shooting into space as much as putting it into the 24" or so imaginary alley from the line to the rim, trying to move only the arm and elbow up while the wrist snaps on the shot with everything being in line.
If you've ever heard pitchers taught, thats their fundamental approach also if they have good form.

I'm not an expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night !!
