Badgers play at Purdon't this afternoon at 3:30 CST. Game can be found on CBS. This would be a huge early season win after the win at Indiana. I'm sure a lot of you will be like me, switching from the Packer game during commercials to get the score and maybe a few highlights at halftime. I'll try to update as much as possible. F'UM BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Badgers down 8 at the under 4 timeout. They had a 6 minute scoring drought.
Badgers down 6 at the half. 0-6 on 3 pointers. Only 5 turnovers tho.
and now??? What the hell happened tonight?? Just saying, Purdon't. .?
Badgers lost 66-55. Vito Brown held scoreless. Koenig only had 9. As a team they shot 2-14 on 3 pointers. Purdon't was 7-15. And that was the ball game.
Their bigs seem to give us trouble, but our poor shooting also didn't help. There were a few plays that bothered me: both of them is when Hayes felt like he needed to bring the ball up court after a Badger rebound.
He shooed away a guard then brought the ball up like he was a smaller point guard. One time he had the ball stolen (easily) as he tried to run the offense as the point; and the other time he was too slow dribbling to make a dash for the lane and a lay up and ended up plowing through a defender and got the offensive charge.
Is this Gard's decision or Hayes' decision to play the point guard in certain situations. It just didn't look natural and on one of them Koenig was asking for the ball to bring it up court before Hayes shooed him away.
Tough loss against a very determined opponent. It's a long B1G season left to go.
