There's different ways to be a bad human being on the court.

You can whine to the refs. (all the McCafes)
You can flop and do fake crap to draw artificial fouls. (Marcus Smart, Jaz)
And you can just be a cheap shot dirty player trying to hurt other guys. (Woodbury, Davison)

I think the first two, while annoying, are kinda part of the game, gamesmanship if you want to call it that. It's garbage, and the refs need to see through it and shut it down. These are the players you love to hate, and fine whatever.

But hitting guys, running thru guys, tripping, hip checking, cheap shots. That's not OK, guys can get hurt. Makes you wish you had a hockey enforcer type to deal with those guys.

So let's count out the calls that should have been intentional/flagrant/T's.

-at least 3 times swinging elbows in a crowd.

-jumping/shoving Conditt on a somehow moving screen.

-holding the ball and complaining to the refs, slamming the ball.

-I didn't catch the strike at Kunz.

I've watched his career and he's always been sneaky but I think ISU really got in his head and we saw the true brat come out. If I'm a WI fan I'm embarrassed and questioning a coach leaving him in.
Johnny also slammed a ball, like right after the first half expired.

The shot on Kunc was on an inbound at end of game - hit Jaz in the face with one hand while knocking ball out of bounds with the other. Could have been a F1 probably. He also got deep enough into Jaz' cylinder that he pushed him backwards. That itself was a clear foul as Jaz jumped up for the ball and Davison jumped into him to get the ball. Jaz being Jaz, he threw his head back about 5x the actual impact delivered lol.

To be honest, Johnny Davis was pretty whiny but the rest of the team (obviously not Davison) mostly behaved themselves. Davison's been doing that stuff since before college. It's an integral part of who he is as a person.
After watching him in their first round game, I felt like we'd really get in his head if we played our brand of defense on him, and we definitely did.

Grills basket before half, they were literally grabbing him and his jersey. There was another time where I think bon got pulled away from the rebound and as the badger got it, was pushed into him for a foul

I love that Jazz got Davison back with his own game by flopping while setting a screen. Poetic justice.

Jazz's frame gives the illusion that his midsection is about to snap in half when he's being pushed. Looks so horrible the refs have to call it.

Jazz is only a throat kick away from bypassing Hogue as best mucker of all time.

I don't know that I've ever seen someone two-hand shove an opponent to get around screens. There's no way that should be allowed in the game, and worse yet, he got the fouls called on us. Beyond the flopping, he's just a dirty player. Such a shame we had to end his collegiate career.

That's how some programs are teaching defending screens. If you run into the screener hard enough, they will get the moving screen call. He failed on his first attempt, so he tried again, and it worked. It's horrible officiating.

I've watched him a lot, and he's definitely one of the dirtiest players I've ever seen. But I'd never seen him jaw at the refs as much as he did yesterday. He's a petulant punk, and it's hilarious that he doesn't see the irony in complaining about calls.

I'd also never seen Davis act like that. They could not handle Big 12 defense.

Hilarious if real.

Watching how he stomped Conditt’s ankle very purposefully in a sneaking way sends me into a rage.

I’m surprised players can keep their cool. They called a foul on Conditt! If I was in Conditt’s situation I’d have lost it on Davison and/or the refs.

I was really surprised Davis got so frustrated. I had watched a few of their games earlier in the year and he seemed very cerebral, not very emotional at all. Kind of like Keegan Murray almost. Not yesterday. He hated the physicality and we were totally in his head.

Wisconsin didn’t really have any options after Hepburn went down. Davison moved to the PG and the whining really turned up.

The cyclone on ball pressure took the badgers completely out of their game. You could see where Davison’s talent ran out and the complaining started.

His dad in the crowd was a mirrored image of his son’ emotions on the court.

Davis is a talent. No question. He also forces shots. Surprised he didn’t get his bigs more involved.

Worst part about Davidson is him in the post game press conference talking about how he hopes he’s remembered as a good person, his family, friends, god, etc like he’s some Boy Scout. That’s some sociopathic $hit right there.

They should have worked it for Vogt more.

I think he's quite the bible verse type on social media.

Just a faker all the way through.

Agreed. The answer to “What Would Jesus Do?” If he played basketball would not be punch guys in the nuts and intentionally try to injure people
