We just don’t look good and the defense is disappointing. Wiscy has barely been scoring 50:recently and will be close to that at half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtcat2 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 So a serious question- for people saying they're not going to shoot like this all game... why do you not expect that Big Ten athletes will make wide open 3s? They make them in practice. When there's no defensive pressure it's not that different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUDan93 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 It is odd that we have been really good defensively and UW just scored close to their game average in a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconnie fan Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 - you not crazy. IU should win this based on their play, as long as they keep running hard and stick with it. badgers are shooting out of their minds on super contested shots- they have to cool down at some point. the only way IU *doesn’t* win is if they a) keep being shook on the offensive sets and taking bad shots in the post (they’re getting the ball in the paint clean, but wi is crashing the house &&& IU keeps trying to go up with it. the kick out is there *every single time.*) and/or b) they stop running hard through screens and the half court set stalls. otherwise their unit D is stifling and almost no lead is insurmountable barring some kind of historic final shot % by the badgers on contested takes. coming from a badgers fan. -sconnie fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy1987 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 This is what happens when you play zero road games and a terrible OOC schedule. That was one pathetic half. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Gard even laughing at the offensive performance. No clue. Sometimes things just happen. Down 20 to a team who has been beat by New Mexico and Richmond is usually a product of just one of those days. Not much else to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticking to my feeling that the season isn’t over Well, that depends on what your hopes/expectations are for the season.. The big concern is this Wisconsin team is one of the worst in the Big Ten. Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, Iowa- these are going to be tough. Total lack of effoty today should be concerning for coach Miller. Then again, this team was picked 9th by the writers in the conference, so maybe expectations were too high. a .500 record in conference would be a major achievement in my book.

BEKA Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Terrbuhl half of basketball. No hustle. No heart. Coaching seems suspect. Just all around lame. Hope the next 20 minutes are better, but I'm not feeling hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. If we beat Wisconsin 80 times out of 100, there are still 20 games we lose. This might be one if them. I don’t think we are toast just yet though. They can’t play this well in the 2nd half and IU can’t be this bad. A couple of big runs and we can win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
