IUWBB @ Wisconsin - Wednesday, 02.14.24 @ 8:00 ET on Peacock

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,844]

Yes, another game on the Dodo network.  Huge win over PUke and the new record for Mack.  Despite Wisky's less than stellar record (11-11) (4-8) we can't let our guard down and need to come out firing on all cylinders.  CTM indicated after the PUke game that we might see Sydney back on the court.  Sara Scalia needs 4 more 3s to break Amanda Cahill's season record of 78.

On tonight's CTM radio show -

In 4 of Chloe's games vs. PUke, she's set new career highs in points;  22 on Sunday.

Very complimentary about Lexi's defensive efforts.  Also said Ali Patberg's worked with Lexi on her shooting form and it has improved although it's still unorthodox.

Sydney still has a little soreness.  She's close.  CTM didn't suggest or hint that she might see the court on Wednesday as she did post-game on Sunday.  IMO, she won't play.

Pleased with the progress of Jules and Lenee.  They're putting in the work on the court and watching film.

Going to stay with getting the team back out on the court earlier at halftime for some added warm-up time.  Somewhat indicated this was something the team asked to do.

Syd out again tonight per Talia Goodman and the Big Ten availability report she saw.

[Todd41 723]

Gotta move with more purpose on the press

Making some uncharacteristic mistakes tonight.

We tend to do that on the road

Bucky is not good, but we sure seem to be having trouble shaking them. 

Of course, it's still somewhat early ...

Announcer, after Scalia's last 3:

"She's a bucket when she wants to be. That was so wet." 

 

I have absolutely no clue what the hell that's supposed to mean. 

[LamarCheeks 19,037]

Lead up to 16 at halftime. 

Nice to get a little separation after a pretty ugly first 10 minutes.

If I ever hear an announcer say “look how many freshies…” again, I may hurl. I muted the tv

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,844]

C'mon ladies, get it out of first gear.

[Todd41 723]

Slow start not good. 

[LamarCheeks 19,037]

Bucky on 12-2 run to start the quarter. 

Not good. 

[Todd41 723]

This is getting ugly

[Class of '66 Old Fart 84,844]

Need to regain control over the next couple of minutes and then cruise through the 4th.   Slow starts in the 3rd Q seem to be an all too frequent issue for some reason.

[LamarCheeks 19,037]

Geez -- I saw that illegal screen coming on Meister from a mile away.
