Kaminsky has been ruled out?

[Bugeaters1]

it's official BR tweets this about Jackson.

News flash from border to border and coast to coast and all the ships at sea: "I'm glad!" Forget the trite pap about beating them at their best, we just need the W at this point. Now coach Tim's job is to convince his team that this game won't be a dogfight. We'll still need our best game of the year to stay with them. Wonder how Vegas will see this one now? I'll guess Badgers will still be favored by at least 5.

Not that I've heard...but I'd love to hear it.

This would be a huge win, but certainly not a must.  Would really be nice to take one of two from these guys this year.

This says Kaminsky will more than likely play.

[hskr4life]

Yeah, I bet Frank plays.  No way he will sit out another one.  This is the first concussion he has had I believe I heard, and it was not too bad of a grade.

With Jackson out, Ryan will have a better chance to out coach Miles, according to one metric.

Wisconsin is a pretty average team without Kaminsky. He's their most important player. I'm guessing he will play thursday, but it would help if he's not 100%

I'm trying to find that he is out. I just dont remember where I read it. I must have been dreaming about Kaminsky being out Thursday. All I could find was a tweet from Robin Washut.

Shoot, I want to beat the best with all their best players and while they are playing their best...No excuses!

Me too, but then again the RPI formula doesn't care how injured they are. 

[hhcmatt]

Frank is either going to be cleared this week or a game time decision. At this point he's not out.

You think Hawaii, Iowa, or Indiana is saying the same?

RPI bonus for a Nebraska road victory at a top-tier team would agree with hskr4life

Absolutely.  I agree 1000 million percent.

 

Buuuuuut ...

 

If I can't beat the best with all their best players and while they're playing their best ...

 

I'd rather beat them short-handed than lose.

 

Period.

Beating someone when they are at their best is an admirable sentiment but it would certainly have lost a lot of wars in the real world. One of Sun Tzu's six principles of war was " An army avoids strengths and strikes weaknesses."

Trueeeee...but, I still would rather beat the best at their best. 

 

By the way, Frank may want to play, but the rules are the rules.  The appropriate doctor must provide him clearance before they let him back onto the floor.  But given that the doctor will likely be a Badger fan....

I hope Kaminsky is out. They still have Dekker and Hayes. I think await matches up well with Kaminsky.

Nebraska will need a wing to step up and hit some shots.

[hskr4life]

Is Wisconsin wings a little quicker?  How would Fuller match up in this one?

Combined Moses, Leslee, and Fuller played 11 minutes against a guard oriented Illinois team.

I think we see closer to 40 minutes out of those 3 against a bigger Wisconsin team.

Kaminsky is cleared to play per Sean callahan.
