I think that is our main problem. We’ve got two 7 footers and they both would rather shoot threes. Sometimes you just need to get underneath and rebpund! Let the guards shoot. If you aren’t willing to rebound get someone who will. I love this team and they are fun to watch no doubt but it’s crunch time now!

Hahaha that’s pretty much exactly what I said on a previous reply. I agree 100%

Wagler isn’t the same player and Brad needs to look in the mirror. He had the better team and lost twice to these jokers

We had 4 days off and put up that kind of performance

can't wait for someone to point out that it's good, actually, that we're below .500 in our last 9 games.

They're reading, waiting. They will break out all the good statistical arguments around 9 or 10 tonight while everybody else is done venting and logged off for the night. They will like and respond to each others' posts and laugh at us dumb dumbs who don't know statistics and "don't know ball." We're all just spoiled fans who don't know how good we have it dont ya know?

There’s a old saying in the sport world that a team seems to take the coach’s identity…..at this point this team is super soft without any fight in them.

The supposed parking lot at pizza hut just seems like a joke with the way we play makes me wonder who Brad sent in his place. Because if his teams are any indication like give me a minute so I can call Kofi even though hes playing overseas and see when hes available because were softer then butter

I realize he’s not why we lost the game and we have bigger problems and he’s don’t a lot of good things this year and he seems like a fine young man but just once I wish Ben would show up in one of these big games.

Only one shot attempt in 23 minutes. Going back to last years NCAAT I think that’s 2 attempts in 3 games. Just shows me he’s afraid to be out there a bit.

you all talk about how weak this team is but they were super clutch earlier in the season against great teams. no idea what's happened but it's terrible to watch. I'm hoping we make the sweet sixteen where i was hoping for a final four a couple months ago

KW was superhuman for a little stretch there, which was masking a lot of our issues that coaching should have fixed. KW is still very good, but that’s the difference.

So damn weak when there's a bully (or a ref) beating us up. Unfortunately, its been shown over and over again that how you play coming into the tourney is also your fate in the tourney. Guards will beat us, we will get out-rebounded, and we will fail to hit free throws when that day comes.

yeah, all the other stuff too, but if we make 70% of our FTs, we win. Yeah, brad has his flaws, yeah, there were a couple of pretty terrible calls.

What a terrible game plan. Let both the opponents guards score 30+ points and don't use your inside height to score in the paint. Oh and keep throwing up 3 point bricks.

How do you as coach, with the talent on this team, let Wisconsin own you???? Boyd should have been given multiple T's for his fake acting to get the BIG refs to call a foul----and of course, they stupidly called a foul.

Absolute waste of talent from this team. Boyd made Boswell a complete non-factor with his baiting. Wisconsin made plays and got to the line, ILL did not. They were up 15 and once again took their foot off the gas, and played not to lose, which they again did.

Post season success should be a given, but not with this team.

Here we go again …

9-31 from 3 … Yet we just KEEP CHUCKING …

Davis and Mirk the ONLY guys to make more than one three …

We can’t guard anyone … Give up 70 to these Wisco guards … Bam lockdown defender ??? GMAFB … Horrible !!!!!

THEY HAVE TWO GUYS and we let them TORCH US !!!!!! AGAIN !!!!!! NO ADJUSTMENTS from Game 1 !!!!!!!!!

OUTREBOUNDED by these dudes ?????? CANNOT HAPPEN !!!!

I’ll let the tourney play out … And I hope we absolutely kill it but IMO it’s Second weekend or there needs to be serious discussions about the future and whether that includes Brad or not … 1 for 9 on second weekends just simply doesn’t cut it at this program …

This end of season/down the stretch performance has been flat out UNACCEPTABLE !!!!!!!!

I believe its Elite 8 or there needs to be changes. Same cocky attitude. D still not improved and O disappears in big games. All points to HC

I'd be shocked if we weren't a 4 seed. But they will probably make us a 3 seed. The 2 seed just went bye-bye for sure.

Can we trade BU for Gaard? Or maybe 10 other coaches?

BU is a good recruiter and can identify talent, but he is not an X’s and O’s coach and his teams have been lacking defensively.

I have no knowledge what the Badgers spent on their team, but my guess it is quite a bit less than us. Beat us twice.
