I'd buy him as a consistent threat from 3 by next year, but I'd like to see where that percentage is by year's end. 

And still, fucking Wisconsin, I've never been a part of negative hex like that in a matchup with any team before. They fucking torment us.    

(But serves me for not reading the preview. Kind of thought, they're better, they're bigger, they're going to kill us, the end.)

And both are worse than the freshmen. Run starts with Walton not boxing out and just standing there while wisc gets easy 2nd chance bucket. They both make terrible turnovers on weak drives. Walton throws up an airball. Sad

UW is 4-9; we are 2-8.  need to flip that in the second half to have any chance.  spike has made a 3 in just one of his last 8 games counting tonite.  he needs to step it up or i give maar his minutes.

absolutely HORRIBLE...play hard the entire first half have the lead then in the last couple minutes then GIVE IT ALL AWAY....Its sad to see how far Irving has fallen, Spike shooting has completely dissapeared and Walton is awful....just when u think theres hope....very dissapointing...on the bright side the Bigs are competing

Need to lead and be the best players, instead they are hurting the team. They need to step up in the second half.
I think most of the other players are playing relatively well.

not blaming the kid at all, but he got overrun on a missed three and that was the start of us getting rolled up to end the half. 

Coach B's got a little blindness sometimes with certain guys. It's nice if he knows where he should be on the court, but as a guy who was that guy, in certain games, your athletic talent is just not there to match what's on the court. 

He's just too weak, too small, too slow, too timid - this is Wisconsin. You can't run that out there.

he had a great game against purdue on Jan 3; the last game he made a 3.  it was the Dec 13 game against AZ the last game he made a 3 before that.

i would give maar a lot more minutes.  better D and can attack the basket.  i think it would pay dividends for next year too.

It's tough to use injuries and youth as an excuse when your oldest and most highly-ranked players are sucking.

i would go with max and doyle/donnal for a while.  maar, walton/spike, irvin/dawkins.  i think the D and rebounding would be much better.  it's not like irvin/walton/spike can score anymore.

what would wisky and bo ryan look like this year if kaminski and decker went pro this past year.  they were rated just as high as stauskus and mcgary.
