Wisconsin and Iowa not exactly looking like Top 25 teams in the country tonight
what is the big ten record of the lowest points by a home team at the half?
And just like that, Wisconsin has already nearly doubled their first half output in five and a half minutes. Now only down six.
Still down 6 with only 5 minutes to go.
We had 18 vs Holy Cross
(That game never happened in my mind)
But in all seriousness, completely forgot it was 18.
Iām not saying Ethan Happ is overrated; I donāt know what heās rated, but he has a lot of holes in his game. Foul shooting, touch around the rim, slow feet, limited range. Then he does a lot of good things and is a stat stuffer. Iām torn on Ethan Happ.
I actually think he has pretty good feel around the rim. And he may be slow but I also think heās pretty nimble/crafty when it comes to maneuvering around the basket for layups.

Itās insane how terrible a coach Ricky Jr is. His teams regularly feature the offensive chaos of late era Amaker squads. No plays, no ideas, no actions to get anything. Just late shot clock panic. Every time I see his team play, Iām even less impressed with Ricky than the last time. Even down to McBrayer not knowing to foul Happ. Thatās who this Minn team is.
Iām guessing that Pitino will get out coached in the final 2 minutes.
They will win by luck/in spite of him - thatās their only chance.
I like Coffey quite a bit. Not a great shooter but knows how to get to the basket and seems like a good defender. Itās too bad heās coached by a buffoon.
He does a lot of really good things around the rimā¦ brought Wisconsin back tonight with a steal and bucket then blocks a shot, followed by two bricks at foul line. He confounds me.
Wisconsin looked awful on those last two possessions.
I was thinking of him specifically - imagine choosing to be coached by a guy who is bringing so little to the table. This is exactly the only way they could have pulled this out - some luck, some chaos, some mistakes by the other team, some athleticism. But having such a teacher for our squad, I just feel sad watching some guys have these years squandered by Ricky P. Itās how I felt a lot during the Amaker era here.
The foul shooting is something that we agree on 100%. As a senior itās beyond puzzling that heās still only shooting essentially 50%. The story on him is that he was a guard and then hit a huge growth spurt which has allowed him to continue to be a good ballhandler. However it evidently turned his shooting form to absolute shā¦
Was it Dylan who said āsome team outside of Michigan will win the B10ā?
If so, that take is looking ROUGH right now with Nebraska and Wisky messing up their starts
I canāt see either Wisconsin or Minnesota beating Michiganā¦even when weāre playing down to our competition.
Smart play fouling Happ.
It is incredible that a guy whoās game is obviously so incredibly well crafted - the result of so many hours of work - couldnāt fix this one crucial thing - particularly for a big who draws fouls.
