Without Ben and Mirk, we lose tonight. Sit Andre, boys is lost like Rj Melendez. Defense is horrible. We play 1st half at Nebraska like past 2 games. We lose by 20.

Ben's best game this season. We needed it!
KW only 22?? Come on, man. Seriously, he is so good it's crazy.
Mirk starting to get back his mojo that he started the year with!
We need Tomi and Andrej to really step it up Sunday or we don't get number 11 in a row. Not even close if they play like they did tonight.

I sure hope they get rest for two days. That was a tough game and they got thru it.

Ben picked a great night to have his best game of the year. Hit big 3’s and played some solid defense. Keaton and Mirk also had very nice games.

That UW team was tough. Very athletic group with some skilled players who can make shots and are aggressive on the offensive glass.

Glad we didn’t have a post-Purdue letdown. That was a solid win.

A win is a win. Good test for the team. We showed some real effort to grind that out.

Let’s get some quick rest and prep. for Nebraska. They’ve had a few days off to stew after a close loss to Michigan. Going to be a real tough one at their place.

Last year, this would've been an L.
We do not let multiple bad offensive sets happen in a row nearly as often.
If we miss good shots, we miss good shots.
But we tend to a) make shots, b) get missed shots back, and c) get wide open looks.
And we're still tied for first place in the B1G with a chance to kick Nebraska in the teeth this weekend.
