That's a conclusion we drew a couple of years ago. What is the difference between scoring after the opposing team travels and scoring after securing a defensive rebound? Or even after a made basket? We say there isn't any. It's just a normal change of possession. Now, live-ball steals might...

I do a statistical commentary with another UW fan over at Buckyville. If you're interested in that, here's the link. Buckyville-Tennessee box score observations

Good luck the rest of the way fellas - good tough win and Knecht is a stud!

I'll comment on a couple of things here. First, on topic - the production value for games (at least for football) on Peacock is basically the same as NBC. This is not Barstool. Second, regarding the UW defense against Ark St. The game had 81 possessions, so the 76 given up was still below one...

I know there is a faction who doesn't like him, but I am not one of them. Gard was a player for Ryan and then an assistant for many years. Bo didn't like to recruit, so Gard (and the other assistants) were mainly responsible for the players they brought in over the years. As a head coach...

You guys are no slouches either. I tripped over the phrase "long-standing" a little - when I was growing up, Wisconsin was a half-century long bottom feeder. The highlight of my fandom in my youth was beating Magic and MSU on the last regular season game of the year on a halfcourt shot (worth...

NBC is one of the networks that’s part of the new B10 broadcasting rights deal this season. Several football games have been “streaming on the ‘cock”.

FWIW, Wisconsin is the first team listed in the “others receiving votes” in the initial AP poll.

Not really. It's pretty typical with ramps within a few blocks, and the nearer ones fill up quicker. Take off earlier from work and spend some time on State St. to get the full experience - from the lower part of State, it's less than a 10 minute walk to the KC. That's a good call. Unchecked...

Sorry, double post

That’s more legend than reality. There are several environments I’d put ahead of the KC in the league. Tennessee is a big time visitor, though, and I’d hope the crowd is amped up at least a little bit more than usual. It’s just too early in the season to have gotten in the swing of things. What...

Bis is Badger in spartyland- I no longer live there. But, I have been to Basel during my Rhine River cruise…. I don’t know who the best defender is. They’re solid all around, playing man with a well established set of rules. It takes new players time to learn and execute the rules, so the newer...

Crowl is the starting 5 - he's 7' but neither skinny nor beefy. This is year 4 for him, and he's average-strong now, maybe a bit above. Wahl is the starting 4 at 6'9", and plays inside a lot on offense - this is year 5 for him. When he's healthy, he is probably the team's best overall player -...

Now that we both enjoyed consuming our own cupcakes prior to the main course, I thought I'd stop by. Our teams have crossed paths a couple of times over the last few years, and you folks are on TV a lot, but it's super-early in the new season, so I have to re-learn things. Seems fairly obvious...

I registered here just to let you know that that scream you heard during TN free throws was coming from D'Mitrick Trice's mom. When his brother, Travis, played for Michigan State, we Badger fans complained about the same thing when the Spartans came to Madison. He's just a junior, so we've got...
