I hope to God my plane has TV, according to the United site it does. If I do have TV I'm really going to have to control myself. My wife is not looking forward to this flight.

I couldn't recall ever playing the Badgers, and according to DFW the Hoyas have only met the Badgers twice (1-1) most recently in 1982. Other than Kentucky, I can't think of any other big time program that has been absent from the schedule in the last 10 years or so. I guess Arizona, and to a lesser extent Ok St, Oklahoma and Gonzaga are also gaps in the resume. In any case, this would really be a huge win, but seems like a very tough matchup.

Very tough game, especially with basically playing it in the afternoon following a game like this that went to midnight. Good news is that Josh had a lot of rest, so he should be pretty good fitness-wise. Just gotta keep playing tough and hope those 3's start to fall.

Good news is we have depth this season. So we can go 10 deep. We're going to need it. Wisconsin is a load

A game where our ability to speed it up will help. Wisky is always very disciplined. Make sure we guard shooters and REBOUND. let's do this

Their front line is tough - all big, athletic, can shoot the 3. I don't think there will be anyone in their starting frontcourt that Josh has a prayer of defending at all - they can all pull him out to the three point line, and either hit open threes or blow right by him. And our 2-3 zone has looked terrible so far this year. It may be hard for Josh to stay on the court too much tomorrow - which may not be a major problem, if Hopkins can stay out of foul trouble. Wisconsin may well be the 2nd best team in the country, so we'll get at least some sense of whether we can compete with the highest level teams tomorrow. But even if we struggle - we are depending on a lot of young players, so experience in games like this provides great opportunity for their growth.

Living in Wisconsin, I see the Badgers play about 30 times a year. With everything they have returning this year, UW should be a top 10 team all year. That stated, they struggle when they can't hit the 3 point shot. Bo Ryan also preaches about making more free throws than your opponent attempts. So we can't let them have open 3 point looks, nor live at the charity stripe all game long. I guess we should be thankful that we are playing Wisconsin in the Bahamas & not in Madison. Because they are almost unbeatable in Madison.

I hope we play well because we didn't really today. Dekker and Kaminsky are gonna be tough to limit. Dekker is an NBA SF talent.

This is a bit of a house money game. No one will hold it against us if we lose. Just go out there and compete until the end. We are a work in progress (but there are some really nice pieces there), and playing a team this good will help down the road no matter what.

I think the key is to get Kamimnsky in foul trouble on the offensive end with Josh Smith, LJ Peak, Trawick, Hopkins attacking him. Defensively, Hopkins and Paul White are going to have to try to contain Kaminsky without both of them fouling out.

Around 1 p.m., surreptitiously turn the oven down to 200° and offer to be the one checking on the turkey. Around 3, announce that the temperature gauge must be broken, the turkey is not nearly done. Then turn the temp back up. This should buy you the 2 hours you need. Otherwise, the old WatchESPN in the napkin trick.

Why would our overall ranking on KenPom fall after beating Florida?
