Not happening due to loss to the Badgers............ :(
yep, opportunity lost ...and probably a 2 seed in the Dance is now gone as well

it's a shame that this team has no depth...maybe we should've had the 7-11 guys play way more minutes in lopsided games to build up their skills, experience and trust? I hate to be an armchair coach, but...

Wagler looks exhausted...that seems stupid to say when he pumped in 34, but I'm serious

maybe we could play some zone for a few possessions out of a timeout to force a Wis adjustment and slow down some guard penetration and cut down on some of their offensive rebounds? I hate to be an armchair coach, but...

Sooooo great to have Boswell back!!! He had 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and played stellar defense. Mirkovic was an absolute monster, with 25 points - inside and outside, 7 rebounds, 3 assists. Wagler with 18 pts. 3 pt. shooting was off a bit today but did not hurt the overall effort.

Big Cali road trip next week, won't be easy. Hopefully Andrej can return for those games, and definitely for the Michigan game.

Sure made my day seeing scumbag Bruce Pearl on the CBS halftime and postgame show................ NOT.

most important number/stat for me? ....only 2 turnovers.

I didn't (and won't) catch slimeball pearl. I have zero interest in hearing what that scumbag has to say. I am very much NOT a grudge-holding kind of person. But he and what he did is one I will never let go of.
