Look, Badger. I don't have a dog in the Iowa/Wisconsin fight so I can give an objective opinion about how everyone else outside Madison sees Bo Ryan's brand of basketball.
I watch a lot of college basketball. A lot of it. I've watched the Badgers play two or three times this season and if you told me you would give me season tickets to their home games for the rest of the year, free of charge, courtside, I would say no thanks.
You can say what you want about the overblown expectations of some people on this board, and some of it may be justified, but Ryan's teams play the most boring and cringeworthy brand of basketball of any team in a power six conference. He wins a few games. Great, so does every other DI coach that holds down a job for more than a few seasons. But you couldn't pay me to watch any more 45-44 or 47-41 games.
Plus, the dude turned a lot of people off by telling the Uthoff kid he couldn't go where he wanted to go when things clearly weren't working out, when in previous seasons he allowed his other transfers to go where they wanted to. That isn't "old school", that seemed more petty and crotchety than anything else.
Just an outsider's opinion.
