Official ISU/Wisc-Milwaukee Game Thread

We are slowing morphing into a McDermott type team - solid defense, very good perimeter shooting, and a stud inside player. It's only one game, but it's encouraging to win at home by 20 against a decent opponent.

Now, can we avoid the one step backward that always seemed to hit us after a nice win the last couple of years?
 
Very nice win. Things are looking up. We will still have some bad times but I really believe we are seeing the progress many of us thought Mac would bring us. By the way where is Crosseyed these days?

at home, washing his tights.
 
There will be nights where the shooting is just cold for whatever reasons. There also going to be nights like tonight where 50% from downtown falls. I think we this team is clicking, we are going to be competitive. I still won't say we are going to pull weekly upsets but we will be in games at the end.
 
I think what you are looking for is...the ability to score.

And, a clean pair of socks.

Actually, this is the first time, football or basketball, that when things started going bad, I didn't feel like we were going to lose for sure (see KU FB game).
 
He looked great. I wish he'd had a few more boards, but he's starting the year off wonderfully.


I was thinking the same thing about his rebounding, so I started focusing on watching him rebound. He was actually giving good effort, and boxing out fairly well. Just seemed like the ball wasn't bouncing his way.
 
I'm sure it has been mentioned but the passing this team does is worlds better than last year. Many, many shots were on an assist. If Brackins get doubled, he can kick it out to about 3-4 shooters. That will drive other teams crazy.
 
So, we haven't played on the road yet, but how many of us were certain we would be 3-0 to start the season...even with the games in Hilton against suspect teams? This schedule is not overly tough, but just what the doctor ordered to get this team going and confidence building. I like that fact that our new-found 3-ball game isn't one player specific. And this team, actually seems to play like a team.
