This isn't the typical Wisconsin team, we have to kick them while they are down.

I know we are down too, but this is as good of an opportunity as ever to grab a win at the Kohl center

Absolutely. IU won’t have a better chance of winning at Wisconsin than they do tonight

Wiscy will do just enough to get the win. There will be 3-4 maddening calls. A scrub will go off. The game will be played at a snails pace with the teams FG% as low as the weather outside.

Hopefully Davis can get more than a handful of minutes before picking up his second foul in the first half.

Hopefully we value the ball or we could be in the teens for points in the first half.

Hopefully we hit a few open shots in the first half.

This isn't a good, or even decent, Wiscy team. Hopefully we don't make them look like the dream team.

Does their student section even make noise when they're there? It's never seemed to be an overly loud student section.

Playing in a multi sport (hockey, basketball) arena sterilizes the crowd. O$U always sounds dead too aside from the 10 you hear near the floor mic.
