hhcmatt Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Nebraska Cornhuskers (10-13) vs Wisconsin Badgers (20-3) Date: Thursday Feb. 9 Time: 8:00 pm CST Arena: PBA TV Broadcast: BTN Wisconsin Info Head Coach: Greg GardLocation: Madison, WIConference: B1GNickname: Badgers Mascot: Bucky BadgerLast time out: Beat IndianaTypical Rotation Depth: 10Line: Wisconsin by 8.5Tempo: S-L-O-WStyle: Middling assist/Middling 3p attempt 4 Factors Good: Rebounding, not fouling4 Factors Bad: Not fouling Four Factors Effective FG%: 53.3 70 46.0 32 50.4 Turnover %: 17.2 68 20.3 89 18.8 Off.

Offensively when confident will do more than just hang out at the 3pt line With extra time Miles spent some of this week meeting individually with players Wisconsin is a team that won't beat themselves; they also don't vary their defense per opponent What does Watson need to do to go to the next level Jacobson Presser How do you defend Happ? "I'm hoping Jordy and Ed handle that" (Does that mean Ed is coming back????) Strech 4 vs Post play Attempting to grow a mustache Player to Watch: Ethan Happ Happ is currently in the running for B1G POTY along with National Defensive POTY consideration. Lead the Badgers in scoring, rebounding, blocks, and steals. His one weakness is FT shooting where he's been around 50% this year. The Skinny Is Ed coming back? Maybe it's just the way that Jacobson talks but it's really starting to look that way. The Huskers will need as much size as they can through against this Wisconsin front court because doubling down to give Koenig or any of the other Wisconsin 3 pt shooters open looks is a death sentence. Wisconsin actually hasn't been that great shooting the 3 this year and have been in a noted slump for the last 5 games. Are they ready to rebound vs Nebraska's slump busting 3pt defense or can the Huskers close out? Offensively can Nebraska scrape together enough against a Wisconsin team that doesn't tend to foul much while clogging up the middle? Wisconsin does a good job at limiting your 3pt looks but opponents are still shooting well against them. Will Jack, Jeriah, and Glynn have it tonight? Can Tai break out of his 3pt slump? Can Nebraska's guard play overcome Wisconsin's front court? Wisconsin probably wins this thing but the potential return of Ed Morrow gives you that fuzzy feeling that Nebraska can pull off another big one. Prediction: Nebraska 68 - Wisconsin 65 with a 45% chance of Runzas. View full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A: 10 - 1 to change the light bulb, 1 to tap the keg, and 8 of em' to talk about how good the old light bulb was. ShortDust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
