Oh no! Uthoff asked about the confidence level of the team...

Spot on. Both times as soon as Uthoff touched the ball he passed it back to Mike. There is a reason he is no longer at Wisconsin & Hawk fans are finding out why!

Even when I'm trolling I wouldn't say something as ridiculous as this. I'm sure the reason he's no longer at Wisconsin is because he didn't want the ball at the end of the game. As a freshman. When he didn't play. They could see the future though.

It's not a deep team. The dropoff in offense from the post is alarming. What are you going to guard against us? The three point line. Uthoff is quick but not quick enough to take a small forward to the hole, not strong enough to back one down. He is great, but his game is not and should not be exclusively iso basketball. Run plays for him to get open on the block and out to 18 feet. Seriously. EVERY team with a star runs offense predicated on getting him a good shot. We don't do that.

He answers, "I don't know." He looks upset in the interview. Said the ball ended up in "someone else's hands." He could have said Mike's name. He has been pretty edgy to reporters lately as well. Doesn't seem to be enjoying himself at all on the floor...can't remember the last time he smiled during a game.

I feel really bad for him and the seniors. I would love to see them turn it around and make a tourney run. Once they are out of the 'Hack, reach, bump, hand-check" big ten, they might be ok. I feel like with a little freedom of motion, they might be their shot and confidence back.

THIS.

That, and JU needs to attack. Continously. Put the foot on the gas and don't let up!
