UW @ UWGB

Gasser knows how to hit those free throws

Trae can drive you nuts, can't he?  Missed big free throws, but Frank makes the big defensive play at the end,  A lot to like about the Phoenix. 

The Badgers did their part at the end hitting their free throws otherwise it's very possibly UWGB wins that game.

They had no answer for Sykes and their defense has to get better because while he's a good player there's a lot of other guards in the Big Ten that are much better.

According to the box score only 3 offensive rebounds. They need to do better than that. On a plus note Bronson Koenig went 3-3 with 7 points.  And the Badgers only had 13 total fouls.  And Marquette got beat by O$U.

Saw Bronson make a couple lazy passes, he'll have to learn to be more assertive if he wants to avoid Bo's quick hook. 

This is not like your typical Badgers team in that we're used to seeing a lot of skilled big men and inconsistent guard play.   The tables have certainly turned this year.   For maybe the first time I can remember this UW team is loaded in the backcourt.  The only downside is that a guy like Dekker should really be playing the SF spot instead of the PF spot and I wonder how they are going to hold up in conference play with the rebounding.

The other factor is that UWGB isn't really built like a mid major team in that they have a lot of size and they should win the Horizon league this year.  That's a good team in their own right.
