Never let the facts get in the way of a hysterical poster’s hot take.

Livers, Teske, and Matthews all had threes that were halfway in.

Here’s where last year, MAAR would come up with a big drive for a 3-point play to end the drought. This year we haven’t really had that guy that we can count on to stop the bleeding. I thought it’d be one of Matthews or Poole but they didn’t quite make that leap.

They might feel more at home?

The first four minutes of the second half will be huge. Need a score or two early just to build some confidence. This team can do it

In single elimination tournaments, sometimes you play like shit and you lose.

That’s the depth of analysis needed if this continues.

One of the Michigan threes that rimmed out goes in and that Mooney three misses, it’s practically even. Unfortunately down 8. Suffice to say, the first 4-5 minutes of the second half are absolutely HUGE. Need to cut the lead, I just don’t see a comeback down 10-12.

A made three early in the second half would be monumental. This team is just dying to see the ball go in from deep. I think it would loosen them up so much.

Agreed. Playing so tentative. Leaders need to step it up and get everyone’s heads in the game. I’d like to push the pace more imo. Not our style but walking it up and soaking too much clock might not be a great idea. Let’s go boys. Everyone pretend it didn’t happen.

Our o has been good this year and it shreds high pressure d’s but it’s biggest struggle has always been against teams that take the paint away. There’s a reason why Wisconsin has owned us so much.

Seems like TT is playing as well as they can on both offense and defense. If we can hit a few 3’s we’re back in and will win. But I do fear how refs have worked to even out foul calls in the games (like the BS call on Simpson’s steal). That could really screw us.

It looked like they were trying to push early but went away from it… I agree I’d like to see it some more

They’ve had time to reflect, now they gotta execute. Let’s see what happens

Pretty sure we’ve been about .500 vs. Wisconsin over the last several years.

It would be great to see somebody with an Alpha male personality right now. Show a refuse to lose attitude, like a Wagner, Sophomore year Stauskas.

The game is winnable and right now the squad is cowering, at the worst possible time.

At least check and see what you’re saying is actually…right, dude.

I just changed my underwear, shorts, t shirt, and socks , mojo officially changed. Working on rally cap currently ( opening day amirite) . Call up the book and double down, it’s a lock folks.

I’d prefer someone with the skill sets of Wagner or Stauskas than the alpha dog mindsets.
