Did he say this while trying to assault him as they walked into the tunnel again?

What a scumbag.

You mean the same Gabe Brown who stuck around all these years despite never getting consistent minutes despite evidence he was better than guys like Langford? Yeah…not the first time.

There was definitely an F Bomb in that sequence directed @ Gabe Brown who had 20 pts today on 6-7 shooting from 3.

What’s the context where you’d say F U to a player. I could see pass the f’n ball or get the f back on defense but f u?

Watch your mouth Dylan! That’s #11 Wisconsin being coached by the “about to get a giant contract” Greg Gard! Winning ugly is how they do it up there!

So your saying it’s probably not ideal to fly in on the day of the game?

What’s Wisconsin’s excuse?

The context is that it is Izzo and he is a miserable human being and abusive towards his players.

Rutgers is a long way from the bubble. Have to get to 12-8 in the conference and the schedule is brutal. Then again…

Rutgers Big Ten wins (KenPom ranks):
5
21
22
44
88
186
186

Rutgers Big Ten losses:
14
62

And of course, Wisconsin plays bad and wins again. Gard is a wizard.

Looked like he said, “What the f… are you doing?” or words to that effect.

Purdue and Illinois really seem to have established themselves as the two best teams in the league at this point according to the eff margin stats.

I know our schedule is a big factor in us having the second most efficient offense, but if our defense was just conference average, we’d be feeling so much better about this team.

It’s a factor but at this point things are getting more neutralized as far as SOS in the conference. Teams have all played over half their games.

Michigan’s conf SOS is 11th now, Wisconsin’s is down to 6th, etc.

Michigan’s offense is legitimately good, it’s defense is legitimately bad.

Geez…Iowa’s defense is better than ours!! What is going on?? The most frustrating part is that we play four different guys at the 4 who are not offensive players…you’d think that would be a benefit for our defense and yet we are bad at D and still good at O.

The crazy thing is that I think there is still offensive upside to be attained if we get more out of Brooks and Houstan. But I’m not sure there is any defensive upside left…we’re going the wrong way.

Moussa has definitely been better on offense than defense this year, right? He’s a freshman with a 112 offensive rating on significant usage.
