I could be wrong but I am still not sold on Wisconsin this year as a very good team. I could be proven wrong so will have to wait and see They were ranked at one point in time. And I have no idea about Wiscy myself but they have some quality wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 52 minutes ago, IowaHoosierFan said: It wasn't over night. The only good team they played since us was OSU. They lost to Rutgers on the road right after us and didn't play anyone good until OSU. Not saying they turned good over night. Still not sold they are good. Not saying we are terrible either. We can have different opinions on here with the need for ask the sarcasm So here's my issue with it all... "Terrible" to me describes a team that is going to finish well below .500. A team that has absolutely no chance against top teams, and less than 50/50 against mediocrity. You cited their 3 losses prior to beating IU...Do you know who the 3 teams were that beat them? 11-3 Richmond, 13-3 New Mexico, and 10-3 NC State. All good teams. So "terrible" isn't a word I would use to describe Wisky, or really any other team in the B10. Anyone can beat anyone on a given night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not a good team at the time. Averaging less than 50 points and losing 3 straight works indicate that have issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team could be absolutely turrible...sorry, terrible for 3 games and look like the '76 Hoosiers the next 3. Saying that X beat Y doesn't mean anything without taking when X beat Y into account.

Averaging less than 50 points and losing 3 straight works indicate that have issues. I see that like this... Wisconsin is a methodical team that likes to play in the half court. When I watched them vs OSU last night, even when OSU put on a 2-1-2 zone press (which caught Wisky of guard at first, and led to a couple of turnovers) when Wisconsin would break it, they never attacked the rim in the transition from the press into OSU's normal defense. At first, I thought that was a mistake...easy buckets to be had. But then it dawned on me. If Wisky doesn't control the pace and gets into a transition/running game, OSU's athletes will kill them. Wisconsin controlled the pace and won the game. So, no surprise that on an off shooting night, they can struggle to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 The only Wisconsin game I truly watched from basically start to finish was NC st. At that time, both those teams were terrible. Wisconsin was in a tailspin. Fast forward and they all the sudden can do all things basketball at a very high level. The UT game, even without UT's heart and soul, Wisconsin looked dominate, shot extremely well. Basically did to them what they did to IU. Followed it up by going into OSU and winning in their fashion It's safe to say they have become greater than the sum of their parts. Great. Just freaking great.

Back in the day...every loss was a “bad” loss. WOW..how we have to spin things to get by...😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Watching the PSU and Iowa game and it was a very good game. PSU just won 89-86 but I was wondering why the game was played in Philly at the Palestra. The think is that was the best home court advantage that PSU has had in a long time.
