    GAME 15 WISCONSIN: For all intents and purposes, that's a wrap

    Well, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure "points off turnovers" is counted for all types of turnovers, live and deadball. That's part of the reason why it's a dumb stat. I agree that live ball turnovers are more dangerous, however. Even if it were only liveball turnovers, it's still dumb. I...

    GAME 15 WISCONSIN: For all intents and purposes, that's a wrap

    From what I can tell in the short spurts I visit this board, you and a couple others are interested in stats. So, I'll offer you my standard rant about "points off turnovers". Tell me what the difference is between points scored after a dead-ball turnover and any other possession. Even points...

    GAME 15 WISCONSIN: For all intents and purposes, that's a wrap

    I've been lurking the past couple of days and thought I'd give you a Wisconsin perspective on the game (I realize many will stop reading right there). Other than FG shooting, that was a bad game by Wisconsin. The Badgers usually lose if they turn it over 8 more times than their opponent, give...

    Basketball Freshmen struggle as Rutgers falls to Wisconsin for first home loss

    Can you say more about why you think that? Crowl is a 5 and UW does regularly feed him in the post. However, he does seem more productive against other true 5s vs. other schemes. I've always wondered why that is - you'd think he'd feast on smaller players. Maybe you're onto something...

    Wisconsin

    Hey guys, in for a visit in peace. There’s an obvious overconfidence that has to be expected and planned for from having a school-record and B10-record offensive performance on Friday. That is impossible to replicate, but hoping the regression is no worse than the mean. With the starters...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball rolls past No. 11 Wisconsin 78-56

    Maybe, sorta, because I do root for the Badgers to win, but mostly, I'm being honest - I don't think UW will win this one. There have always been a lot of students that attend UW from the East Coast, and ergo, not surprised that there are some alumni in the area. I attended the game at MSG a...

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball rolls past No. 11 Wisconsin 78-56

    Hello RU folks- as always, I come in peace. You're catching UW at the right time - they're very beatable right now, and I'd bet on the Knights in this one. In addition to the psyche being down, UW will be without its top two guard reserves in Blackwell and McGee. Blackwell, in particular, is a...

    Big Guys

    Very accurate scouting report - well done. I will add that: Crowl bumped knees with a teammate in practice this week, and even though he gave it a go last night in C-bus, he was pretty gimpy and far less effective than normal. How much he heals by Saturday, who knows? Wahl may be shooting 80%...

    Madison WI Recap - GREAT college town. NB could be similar

    In addition to Columbus, this is also true of Lincoln and Lansing, if you count MSU as a flagship. It's also sorta true of Minnesota. Madison and Austin often get compared.

    Madison WI Recap - GREAT college town. NB could be similar

    I grew up in Madison, graduating HS in the early 80s. Go ahead and check how horrible the Badgers’ records were in football and basketball in that era. Yet, Bucky Badger was still everywhere. We learned the words to On Wisconsin in kindergarten, taught by the teacher. We all hung out on campus...

    Rutgers vs Wisconsin - Noon On Peacock

    This is more about the contract with NBC. Obviously, it's in the business interests (i.e., the smarter move) of NBC to increase subscriptions in its streaming service, just as CBS does with Paramount +, and ABC with the Disney-related streaming platforms. Welcome to 2023. At some point, you'd...

    5 Keys to Beating Wisconsin !!

    Couple of things about Mordecai. He does have 4 rushing TDs and there have been multiple designed QB runs in each of the 4 games. I saw that 103 net yardage includes 44 yards of losses, so I suspect those might be sacks. An intentional UW QB run is very different from the past. And, again, with...

    5 Keys to Beating Wisconsin !!

    I lived by MSU for a decade when I first registered my username, but haven’t been there for almost 20 years. Now in the Twin Cities. Yeah, I think even Badger fans are unimpressed with UW so far, but the one loss at Wazzu is looking less and less bad with what they’ve been doing. As you said...

    5 Keys to Beating Wisconsin !!

    Just lurking and checking in. We still don't know really what we have at UW. The defense was really elite under the previous regime and it no longer is. That's the red flag for us fans - it's a scheme change and maybe the personnel haven't quite adjusted, or maybe the talent is just not what it...
