Yikes.

Asking the important questions. Finally.

Sitting at work secretly hoping for a Cashy pop in to push us over 2k today. I suspect we get close either way, but if we get a procedural update on current groundswell conditions within the leadership apparatus it’s all but guaranteed.

I think you mentioned it in the game thread, but this was another one where I really felt so bad for the players. Clear from the jump we didn’t formulate a gameplan to limit what Wisco does well, and you could see in their faces and they knew it. This game was over before it started.

Leaving in starters and watching them press and play defense against Wisconsin walk-ons to try and close the gap tells you everything about the sorry state of our program. We’ve made jokes about garbage time Leal, but I think last night was the first time I’ve noticed a clear, concerted effort to try and limit the negative optics in that fashion. I rewatched it and Gard emptied his bench at 1:17. Five of his players logged 1 minute played. It was clear in the huddle they looked around and said to each other “we have to close this gap and not lose by 15 again.” This was not “playing to the final whistle” this was different. This was desperation. We scored 6 points in the last 70 seconds. And 5 of those in the last :22. We’ve had a lot of embarrassing moments over the Mike Woodson experience, but watching that was rock bottom for me as a fan. Anyways, sorry for the rant, that just really irked me. TL;DR: We suck. Fire Mike Woodson.

Making games look closer than they were with rotation and starters in against walk-ons is practically trade marked at this point.

Its Leal 3 to close the gap time now.

If they do not end this before Michigan not only are we unserious, no one cares for Woody either. I do not wanna hear from burners about fan treatment when the administration is responsible for letting this farce continue. FIRE MIKE WOODSON YESTERDAY.

Why is Gallo bouncing it to Ballo's knees? This is fundamentals. Fifth year senior, ffs.

Fouling a guy who shoots 93% from the line on a three is definitely not in the scout...I think.

Reneau wanted to flex so bad there but remembered we are down 20 lol

Tucker has played well.

Did that announcer just basically call Leal unathletic and vertically challenged? lol

My big takeaway here is that Wisconsin having their court sponsored by Culver's is making me want to doordash some cheese curds and burger.

If only this was a month that ended in R not Y

MOTHER OF PEARL NO TWO BIGS@!

If we start two bigs I am going to be big mad online.

Michigan is going to shoot 50 threes against us. Four years of this defense and MW cannot make the connection to early 2000s NBA and modern basketball. Mike Woodson basketball has been the definition of insanity. Ridiculous.

Not a bad effort last 8 minutes. Maybe we can make a run after half and close it to respectable. Really do not wanna see one of our patented second half 5 minute droughts.

Looked like a good block

Tucker thought he was Kobe there for a second I think.

Gallo has been playing better of late.

Tucker made a three, yay.

Sad. I am sad.

They have to miss guys, calm down. It is statistics for my Kelly people.
