Message: [QUOTE="SkanSU, post: 1581463, member: 53"] (sigh) We got our butts kicked on the boards. Wisconsin is an awesome rebounding team... they just can't put it back in the basket. We shot miserably from the FT line. We had 2 freshmen who[U] finally[/U] played like freshmen in one game. This is the problem with being "ranked". Expectations suddenly go crazy and everybody thinks we should beat everybody. Before we were ranked everybody just seemed to enjoy this team because they were fun to watch. Win or lose just enjoy this team. Now from my perspective: 1) It was great to see KJ play a decent game ... even tho I was yelling: "Get your d... arms up; 2) Lydon was simply outmanned underneath. As I've said before he just hasn't the weight and muscle to go against those big 5s. And when he went outside they had him covered to prevent the 3; 3) I have no idea why JB didn't insert DC2 ... anybody? Please don't say injury; 4) G is still great ... and I don't understand about the no call; 5) While not a great shooter TC is an important part of our best guard combo defensively. Wisconsin was not getting any great shots from the back court but all their points came inside or from the wings. Our middle looked like a sieve; 6) Mal and TL had a freshman let down. They'll be back so enjoy them and (hopefully) this will somewhat dull the NBA scouts' enthusiasm. Bad for Mal and TL but great for us; 7) TR was missing in action except for when he was fouling mainly because he was out of position. On him ... but also credit Wiscy for boxing and throwing those passes into their big men in the lane. Hey, its a loss. We will have more this year. But its a learning process. Enjoy them when they win and don't bash them when they lose. We will have cold shooting nights and when that happens anybody could beat us. [/QUOTE]
