Connie getting KILLED by Michigan at home

I don't have much faith will beat Michigan at Michigan. If we do, we're winning this conference.

Iowa hasn't won much there since the 1980's...couple times? Iowa has one just once in Champaign since the amazing comeback in 1987 and they've not won at Michigan State since 1993. Road is tough in this league ;)

I didn't say that because Wisconsin is getting called for a lot of fouls. They aren't playing the same kind of defense that they have in years past. Bo has his players playing defense the correct way and they aren't athletic enough to do it well. That's why they are giving up so many points this year. Bo won't play a zone defense, so he does some things with his man-to-man that have zone concepts. Long athletic teams have made them pay for that. There are half a dozen "long athletic teams" in the BIG. Bo used to combat that by grabbing guards on the perimeter to slow them down, when the other team is running screens. He would also grab and hold opposing players away from the ball, to disrupt the offense of opposing teams. You gotta hand it to him, he got away with it for 12 years. It's like the new rules emphasis were designed for Bo and the Badgers.

I can get on board with that. First time I read your previous post, I picked up a point that wasn't there.
 
Great to see sad faced Gasser sitting on the bench after his 5th foul, with his mouthpiece hanging out his mouth and his eyes pinking up.

Gasser is a thug. Like his coach. This lovefest for Bo Ryan is ridiculous. Wisconsin will never win anything with that style of play.

The Big Ten overall is brutal. If you don't bring your A game in this conference, you are going to lose. Home or Away.
 
One thing for sure, the Hawks will be in every game right to the end, so they will have their opportunities....

Gasser is the quintessential Bo Ryan player. Good shooter, protects the ball. decent ball handler, only a good defender if he's allowed to mug you. Now that the NCAA has taken away the mugging, what do you have? A good shooter, decent ball handler that is lacking athletically and can't stay in front of High D-1 talent.

This is especially true for teams with 6 or 7 quality players. As the season wears on they get tired and/or guys have bad games. Iowa has the depth to stay fresh. Iowa can sit 2 guys having a bad game and play the other 8. We have a luxury no one else in the conference has. It's also hard to get us in "foul trouble" because we can go to the 9th, 10th or even 11th guy.
 
Wow, the Connie board is full of hatred against Jackson.....I love it...wisconsin.scout.com... What does Bo do with Jackson? Jackson is Jeckyl and Hide in one player... These are just a few threads......There is some talk about Dekker in some of those, but more about Jackson...

Because Iowa draws a lot of fouls in most games, some of their opponents may have to give minutes to guys that don't play much and they'll be playing against the fresh legs of the deeper Hawkeyes.

I'm hoping Iowa goes 13-5 in the conference, but they could go 10-8 again. I think 12-6 is very realistic, which will likely be a third place tie in the conference.

Dekker is the "Golden Child" and can do little wrong in the eyes of Badger fans. His defense is as bad as Jackson's except he doesnt turn the ball over as much.

It's going to be a wild year. Anything could happen. All I care about is going dancing. It's been too long.

I'm at 14-4 until we lose our 5th...don't anticipate this happening.
 
The Badger guards are to slow to keep the quicker guards in the league out of the lane and they are giving up a ton of points in the paint.
