    Hey Mean Green fans. Badger fan here - I've been to your campus like 30 years ago when I lived for a couple years in Flower Mound.

    I think nothing posted here about the Badgers is blatantly wrong.

    There was a comment about Jordan Davis getting a "rare" start earlier in the year, but he was in fact the starter at the 3 up until midway through the year when Essegian was inserted. Essegian is in a horrid slump - he came in as a sharpshooter and was the emerging leading scorer/primary option, but has gone ice cold the last 10 or so games. There's some chatter amongst the fans about putting Davis back in because he's the better option defensively.

    Has UW played a defense as good as UNT? Looking on t-rank, it looks like Rutgers, Kansas, Purdue, and Northwestern are ranked ahead of UNT at 24, and UW is at 25. 9 of the 14 B10 teams were top 50 defenses.

    Quite frankly, UW struggles mightily on offense. What worries me most is that you have an excellent 2P% defense and we are really terrible this year at that. Crowl is a 7 footer and he was excellent in the first two rounds of the NIT, but was not able to outduel the bigs of Oregon offensively, getting a lot of shots blocked and altered. Tyler Wahl also mainly scores by backing defenders down in the post, but he has been terribly inefficient at that this year, especially since his injury at the beginning of January. Gilmore is the main backup big to both of those guys and he is a huge step down offensively - he does play good defense, though. Hepburn, our PG, is also notoriously inefficient inside the arc, but when he has a size advantage - like he did against Liberty - he can go crazy.

    The other thing to mention is almost every game UW plays is close. Last night was the 20th game decided by 5 points or less. In back to back games, UW took Purdue to the wire and had to sweat against bottom-feeding Minnesota. 

     

    Ask me anything.

    Welcome glad to have you here @formerlybis

    It was somewhat bizarre and then he immediately shamed our alumni for not being interested in the program. It would have been better to say “The first thing we are going to do is make sure we have winning programs that people want to come see.” And then he could have said “we have a lot of alumni who are looking for a reason to come back - we are going to give them plenty of reasons!” Instead he said “people are waiting for everything to be perfect before they commit” and I think that struck the wrong tone. 

    I agree with you.  Hubby wasn't keen on it cause we buy season tickets and already give what we can.  He felt a tip of hat to those who are already giving would have been nice.  Loved everything else about his speech though and we love him as AD.

    I think a hint is that current players have not started leaving via the portal.  They obviously have been either tipped off who is coming, or have enough interest to wait for the announcement and meet the new hire.  I am glad there has been no mass exodus.  

    They know they got it hood here but I know they still miss Seth!
