Yeah he aggravates it , goes out 4-6 weeks and misses the tournament & any title hopes we have are gone
Sucks he didn't play but we now see and appreciate his and KBs value likely a lot more as creators and our 2 best perimeter defenders.

Brad said we had one ball handler tonight. Yikes didn't even think of Petro. Shame on the media for not asking Brad about Petro.
For what it's worth, there is no fundraising component to the Krush anymore. My daughter graduated last May, and spent many an hour over four years waiting in line, often in freezing temperatures, to get a seat on the floor. That's all it took (though there was an occasional promotion to let them skip the line; like attending a women's game). Unfortunately, we can't blame this one on the fundraising nerds.
True lol
Just noticing we’ve had more than double the absences (12) of all other contenders COMBINED (5) puts the whole season in perspective for me… where would this team be with the health/luck of these 4 other teams at the top?
But then again I’m just coping here…
I feel it's not about the noise but the body language. Camera don't lie when you look like a zombie!
Where the Ty loss hurts too. If we have 5 healthy guards, we have 3 very good ones.
Early? Interesting. I didn't notice it until late in the MSU game.
I appreciate Tomi taking ownership. Show the leadership for Sunday and let’s move forward.
He played literally 80% of the MSU game on this same sprained ankle …
I get it now, I've seen the light. Petro and Lee.were misses.... not ready for this level....like Podz, DGL, Morez, Booth, Hansberry, Clark.
Jeez. Its not "missing", it's to do your job and "develop and improve". Gotta keep coaching. These are young men that still need to be coached and developed. Doesn't matter if what they are paid. Still work with them.
Going out there with a 6 man rotation after a tough OT loss at Breslin is unacceptable even with Andrej and Kylan unavailable. Heck, Wisky used 9 with their 9th getting 2 minutes....one more tha Lee! No one is asking Lee and Petro getting 10-15 minutes. Get them in to give the rotational guys a breather and limit their fouls. Case in point, before the under 8 media timeout they take out KW for a breather. Great, I get it. But they put in a rotation guy, and Wisky gets a 3 and Mirk turns it over. You don't think Lee could do better?
Puh-lease. BS.

I admittedly don’t love the “flared up pregame” comment… lol
But I am glad we’re back to being united that Andrej is actually a net positive and valuable to our team.

I've been beating this drum for years. The Orange Krush is absolutely terrible.
Go back and watch the final two minutes of OT. Down 6. That's when the players need you the most. They're totally silent. One person in the front row is jumping. The rest are doing jack s***. Terrible. I hate them so much.
Well we are so you'll just have to deal with it. He could've at least try to give it a go tonight. Just being out there on the court would have helped. This is a game where you just needed bodies at 50%, 75% whatever. So you sit down
That’s like voting for Cy Young based on which pitcher had the most wins.
You’ve got to look at the rebounding rates, they had 14 offensive rebounds to our 30 defensive rebounds (32%). We had 8 offensive rebounds to their 21 defensive rebounds (28%). We typically win that margin.
Honestly our good shooting from the field is the only thing that kept us in the game. They won “the math problem” all night.
16 more field goal attempts (+32)
3 more attempts from 3 (+3)
We had 5 more FTA (that we couldn’t capitalize on) (-5)
Both teams make all their shots and Badgers win by 30. Nobody ever makes them all, but the fact this game was close and were up big in the second half is a testament to how good we are on offense.
Looks like Dre pulled a Peterson
So, somehow in his average of just over 6 minutes a game, this is all Petro’s fault that the team offense and defensive stats show what you’ve provided?
Other than a few games, Petro has played with mostly other guys who haven’t averaged as many minutes as he has, so the lineups weren’t conducive to high level or quality play.
Let’s not act like he has dragged the team’s performance down in significant play.
Most of his PT came against UTRGV, Southern and garbage time in other games.
In significant play this what Petro has done.
Alabama - 1st game - 12 minutes 3 points (1-1 3pointer), 1 reb, 1 assist, 1 to
UConn , 18 min 1-7 FG, 2 reb, 2 assist, 3 steals, 3 TO - not great, but most of our guys looked poorly most of that game.
Minnesota - 7 min, 2-4 fg, 4 pts, 3 rebounds
The numbers you posted aren’t great, but there is context to them.

thanks for doing the work to come up with this. been a really tough year for injuries to major contributors between football and basketball
We are 20-5. Maybe we get a 3 but we are in a great spot still.
24-7 or 25-6 would be great.
