This shouldn't be hard to understand. These games are crazy important. Unless we have an insurmountable lead, we're going to play our best players as much time as possible. The three FR are likely to only play if the main guys need a quick breather or are in foul trouble. Payne/BBV will get a few minutes when Kofi needs a breather. That's about it.

Hate it when he throws it so hard it bounces back off him.
This make me think of the kool aid guy bursting through the wall…Hey Kool Aid! I’m drinking it!
WHAT. A. CROWD.
Sign me up for the “replacement crowd” any night. That place was rocking considering it was maybe 2/3rds full. I only recognized a few regulars in the lower section and there were plenty of people who definitely snuck down and then lost their seats (due to the people that actually had the tickets showing up) and then moved to new seats to rinse and repeat. Not trying to call those people out, no problem from me, more noise near the floor is a positive.
Defense was super solid tonight and If it wasn’t for Bo bailing out the Badgers we would have been up 10 at half I thought. Excited to see how we continue to integrate all of the pieces and “become whole” as we progress through the season.

Brad read this board at half and adjusted his strategy and benched him \s. More seriously the kid was out sick for at least a week and the coaching staff is probably working him back into the lineup slowly.
I dig this whole, team keeps getting better down the stretch thing that brad’s teams always do.
Wisconsin is gonna beat the teams that aren’t physically better than them. Bad for them is we aren’t one of them.

I didn’t feel that way in the first half.
He didn’t see much tick, but RJ looks like a high ceiling guy to me.

Aaaaaaand made Brad Davison look bad! Can you ask for anything better?
BU says that in every interview. He repeats that they aren't rushing 'dre back.

I am absolutely sick to my stomach over how Belo lost us this game. What a disaster. Get a clue, Brad.
Makes sense. A reporter just asked Kofi how did you struggle against Arizona and Purdue and come out and dominate tonight? Kofi answered it so beautifully. Even though he got mugged beat up and abused and none of them bought him dinner for abusing him. the refs were the worst on the planet.I look forward to Andre Curbelo coming back.
They all worry me. Lol

I will never ever tire of beating Wisconsin.
Wait for Marquette's win.
We looked like a team that knows it's time to turn it up a level. Can't wait to see what we can do down the stretch.
And if the national media isn't talking about Kofi for POY after this game, we riot!

BU said on the radio post game interview they will not rush Belo back too soon as far as extended minutes....
