MikeRoberts Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 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 centerSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Hoosier Guy and Class of '66 Old Fart 2 Quote

Stromboli Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Let's hope for good things for this team tonight. If anything made sense we'd win this game easily. Even if Wisconsin is playing walk-ons, a win up there would be awesome. MikeRoberts and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 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. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners FortWayneHoosier 1 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Happ uses his off hand to make sure he has space and then gets the and 1... then on the other end can't take advantage of a smaller defender on the other end. On top of our guard situation that says it allSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
