College Basketball 2010-2011

they look so slow out there

 

and Taylor just keeps taking crappy shots

[PeaveyFury]

This is like the bad shooting of the PSU game combined with a complete lack of hustle in general. Absolutely brutal.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Take the ball down, pass around for 30-ish seconds..........settle for a crappy jump shot with a hand in the face.

 

I don't get it.

[jason21nl]

Bo doesn't even look like he is really into the game. If jump shots aren't falling, you might want to use your size and get to the rim. Embarrassing once again

[DuWayne Steurer]

Sickening. I don't know how this team wins 25 games every year. When the jump shot doesn't fall, they can do NOTHING.

[owbc]

I give up. I refuse to question their drive or effort or the coaching. Too much pressure against a team with too much experience. It was a solid year and they met my expectations. There was a good chance for a deeper run, but it didn't happen. Look what is happening to Duke tonight, nothing is guaranteed.

 

One week until baseball season :-)

[DuWayne Steurer]

6 minutes until they made a bucket in the 2nd half.

[adamb100]

Well...Go Marquette!

[pitchleague]

Good night, Irene!

[jjfanec]

Hey 6 minutes in and we score. No way to rationalize this performance this so far. They cannot make a shot and have given up too many good looks

[DuWayne Steurer]

It's one thing to have a poor shooting night, but to just keep heaving jumper after jumper while passing up open shots is not excusable. Getting outhustled to EVERY loose ball is not excusable.

This is not the typical Badger team. There's usually a couple of guys able/willing to play inside.

[M Skjellyfetti]

I don't know....a lot of these second half missed shots are either coming from inside or a wide open look from the outside; just nothing's falling. Contrary to the constant drone of the announcers, I think the Badgers have been playing very well in the 2nd half, the good looks just haven't fallen.

[jason21nl]

Nobody understands this game. Why hasn't Bo called a TO to...I don't know adjust? To perhaps tell his guys the next person who passes up a lay up for a 3 is getting yanked off the court. Or if you're not busting your butt to the ball you're getting yanked off too. Piss poor pathetic from the coaching staff on down

Leuer is a jumpshooter, but he CAN play inside. Taylor can play inside, but he's not. This is no different than when they relied completely on Alondo Tucker or Devin Harris, and then had the role playing guys around them. Bruesewitz is, for all intents and purposes, Joe Krabbenhoft. IMO, they're very similar to most Bo Ryan teams for the past decade.

Very well? They're 1/16. Sure a few have been in and out, but you don't start 1 of 16 by playing very well.

[jjfanec]

They have had good enough looks but with their defense it may not have mattered if they were on tonight. Butler is simply playing much better basketball all around

[PeaveyFury]

Couldn't disagree more.

Sure, Leuer can play inside, but he doesn't play to the hoop in most cases. When they've had great inside guys like Tucker/Harris/Wilkinson/etc they've never been solely reliant on one player to play in there.... Tucker always had Wilkinson/Harris/etc, Hughes/Landry and so on. This team also lacks a true outside sharpshooter like Bohannon or Freddie Owens, Chambliss, etc. There's a lot of guys that are kind of good at doing a variety of things, and tonight it's not working at all.

[jason21nl]

the lack of hustle is still making me mad. They are "only" down 12. If they could have made even a couple shots they would have had a decent shot at winning this game.

[Glennron]

TWO points in the paint. I'm willing to bet that's the fewest points in the paint in the history of the NCAA tournament.

[jjfanec]

5/23 from from 3. 1/11 for Leuer. 4/15 for Taylor. Crazy we had a chance to cut it to 9 right there. Butler has given the Badgers chances to make it close.

[PeaveyFury]

I'd be absolutely shocked if this somehow became a game, but it seems possible-ish.

[jason21nl]

the fact they are only down 9 is making me even more upset. I wish they were down 25 because this little run is like a Brewers rally tease

[PeaveyFury]

Holy freaking crap.

[Glennron]

Ohmygod...
