Tickets are going for $1 or $6 for center court lower bowl, if you haven't already been offered a pair for free. My rallying cry to get out and support the team against Rutgers was rewarded with Michigan basketball's lowest point in my lifetime, followed by a presser that somehow brought it even lower. Alex has a full autopsy coming tomorrow afternoon.
I worked on the Washington UFR instead of writing a Wisconsin preview, which was a good move because just making the charts reminded me how much I despise Wisconsin basketball. But I do like making charts, so here you go.
[AFTER THE JUMP: Some diagrams only.]
THE US

Cyans added. Could be the guys above or all walk-ons, who knows.
THE LINEUP CARD
My graphic [click for big]:
Tyler Wahl's free throw rate in the Big Ten, which has the lowest free throw rate among major conferences despite having Zach Edey in the conference, is 68%, versus 47% in the nonconference. As a team the Badgers are getting to the line as often as Purdue, which again, has Zach Edey on it.
THE SECTION WHERE I PREDICT THE SAME THING KENPOM DOES
Wisconsin by a touchdown.

Far better usage of your time to produce the UFR’s. Thanks Seth.

Me too.

Im kinda surprised Kenpom and Torvik have this within 5-6 points
February 7th, 2024 at 5:09 PM ^
Seems like it's free money to take Wisc and the points.
Or better yet, wait until M leads at halftime and THEN take Wisc and the points. I think you can make a killing fading M in the second half.

That fool’s gold 3-0 start is screwing up our KenPom rating for the season.
Postgame Edit: well, they shut me up tonight, at least. Well done, guys.
February 7th, 2024 at 6:47 PM ^
Same, wondering when Kenpom is going to catch up to our performances.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:09 PM ^
I blame Dug's shoes for rubbing off on everyone else.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:12 PM ^
Raw talent between players on each team is just about equal. However, WI is a well coached team and will most likely whip Michigan at home.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:13 PM ^
At least no Brad Davison.
Our guys don't need to wear cups.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:31 PM ^
I do like the diagrams.

Brightside: it is a good time to take your kid and several of their friends to see their first Michigan game. You can get several seats for what a stadium beer costs (to be clear: I am not recommending any of you degenerates drink while taking your friends' kids to a game).
February 7th, 2024 at 5:34 PM ^
It’s OT season now, right?
February 7th, 2024 at 5:38 PM ^
How do you tell if the cyan mean offensive or defensive liability?
February 7th, 2024 at 7:33 PM ^
Or coaching?
February 7th, 2024 at 7:35 PM ^
Both.
February 7th, 2024 at 9:19 PM ^
If it’s on the left, it’s offense. On the right for defense.
I could be wrong.
February 7th, 2024 at 5:42 PM ^
I'm in Utah (no legal gambling). Who can I trust to Venmo some cash to smash the halftime lead, FT loss for me?
February 7th, 2024 at 5:53 PM ^
The question is when do the walk on’s show up in the game
February 7th, 2024 at 6:03 PM ^
FIRE WARDE
February 7th, 2024 at 6:45 PM ^
How in the world is this only a 5.5pt spread? I don't bet but I'd take Wisky if they were laying 10pts.
February 7th, 2024 at 10:50 PM ^
Michigan Won!
February 7th, 2024 at 6:45 PM ^
Almost the two year anniversary of the slap. I'm sure Wisconsin wont run it up.
February 7th, 2024 at 9:28 PM ^
Given the result, maybe just do lineup cards more often. :)
