If this comes back to bite Minnesota, that's all Ben's fault. Learn from Fran. Stare at them.

Lawrence is already my favorite 2023-2024 player.

Based on these last few drives from Walker and Greisel, this team sees this far from over. But we've got to lock down on the other side of the court.

Minnesota's 3-point shooting tonight has opened up the court for them. They can do, and go, anywhere they want right now.

If Wisconsin shoots 50% again in the BIG tournament, I will tattoo Bucky the Badger on my.... I'll bookmark this thread and save it for upcoming years

After that rough patch...

Minnesota's shooting will diminish, naturally, in the second half. But we can't expect to close the gap unless we can counter on the other side.

Situational awareness, Breidenbach... Situational awareness.

Minnesota: FG: 63.2% 3P%: 57.1%

Why do their three-pointers count the same as Keisei's?? Asking for a friend.

Breidenbach is a liability on both sides of the court right now.

Really need to put the pedal to the metal here. Make them pay early and been in a deep deficit. Don't let them hang in there.

BTN is trying to sell Wisconsin more tonight than they did for a 22-10 (13-5) back in 2018.

They made that decision before we played them. Had we beat them, then it's a completely different outcome. Risk and reward.

This isn't a stare-down with the fans...

I still stand behind it that it would be as big of a gut punch if we don't make the NIT this year as it was for us to get a road game vs. Mississippi State in 2018.

The sad reality, too, is that if you don't find validity in the NET then you can't use Quad records as a basis for us either.

I trust some NIT Bracketology person as much as I trust Lunardi's NCAA bracketology. Ultimately, it's a committee that decides the at-large bids, based on criteria that changes (or weighted differently) every single year. Lunardi's track record isn't all that strong, but it's entertainment. The NIT gets whatever leftovers are remaining. And that's heavily impacted by the number of NCAA bid stealers from mid-majors.

Fred is also 0-3 in the Big Ten Tournament... So we're making it to the weekend!!
