Last four games

I have boy and girl twins that are 2. I also yelled out loud on Jok's turnover...and Gesell's missed layup. ...and every missed free throw in the last 4 minutes.
 
Wow, this is actually impressive. Considering there really aren't *that* many regular posters on here it's kind of crazy that at least three of you have twins.

What do you see? ........ I see a team that wasn't expected to do much of anything come out and play about as hard as you can (to offset maybe not being the most skilled bunch) for a long period time. They have excited the fans and got the nations attention and no matter how they finish, my hats off to the effort this team. I see a team that has looked a little wore out the last 3 games from climbing this mountain and since they have a week off, I would give them 2 or 3 days off, tell them to stay entirely out of the gym and REST we'll get back at it Monday to get ready to finish fresh and strong! .......

Well said. You can tell Uthoff needs to take Fran's advice and stay away from the gym for a couple of days. According to Sapp he is there ALL THE TIME! While that is great and one can appreciate his work ethic, sometimes the best practice is no practice at a certain point of the season for a day or two. They all need it and they will be fine.

Count how many top teams in the country haven't stubbed their toe, are there any? It sucks but it doesn't ruin the season by any stretch of the imagination. First we expect very little out of them but NOW all of a sudden they better not let us down! They have already given us so much more than expected how anyone can get on their case is beyond me.

Correct if you mean he shouldn't be running any stairs or lines but wrong if you think he shouldn't be shooting around and practicing 50 - 100 free throws. Great players don't need and shouldn't take time off right now - it's like validating their anxiety and admitting they've lost it. They might lighten up / loosen up a bit but they keep practicing and shooting their confidence back into shape.
 
They need to move the ball more on offense. Stop the ISO garbage. Go back to getting Uhl/Baer/Wagner more minutes.
Play better team defense or play strictly man-to-man.
Our help defense has been pretty poor lately.
All of the problems we are seeing appears to be the result of a worn out team. Solution? Get the subs more minutes and get them those minutes in the first half.

Same. Near the end of the game, when the outcome was inevitable, I looked around and the family had vacated the room. Wise on their part. No one wants to see a grown man cry.:p
 
My wife also left the room with about 6 minutes to play. She correctly predicted that the comeback was going to fall short since the game had descended into a free throw shooting contest and we can not make free throws at crunch time. Except oddly enough for Woody.

Oh. Dear. Lord. Lots of idiocy in this thread. Every single team goes through a rough stretch during conference play- it even happened to Wisky last year - and we happen to be going through ours right now. This break couldn't come at a better time. Time to rest and regroup and finish strong.

Correct. Last year Wisconsin was 15-1 and lost to Rutgers who was 9-7. It was the last game Rutgers won last year, they finished 10-22. Wisconsin went on and won a few more games....

I'll agree that we stayed with the zone too long. But Uhl (14), Baer (12) and Wagner (11) got enough minutes. With the starters we have, 37 minutes for subs is plenty. What we can't have is poor shooting nights from more than one starter. Uthoff was 5-14 (including 2-7 from 3pt) and Gesell was 2-8. Uthoff shooting poorly and the team allowing 11 Penn St offensive rebounds is what hurt us the most. Penn St shot out of their minds the entire game, but giving them extra possessions by not securing rebounds is what ultimately did us in.

Twins are everywhere these days. Something in the water maybe.

Big deal. They still lost the last one, which happened to be the BIG one!

Pretenders!:p

It's becoming more common, I suspect cause folks are having kids a little later in life. Can't speak for the other guys, but ours were kinda "engineered". Best $60k I ever spent.

Cray cray little boogers.
