Onto Wisconsin Cheeseheads

[wbrhawkeye]

This is one team I haven't followed much. I know they had some bad losses during the non-conference but seem to be playing much better in conference. Did they improve that much or did someone become eligible?

This team doesn't make me as nervous as Rutgers, but that's probably what worries me. This just reminds me of past games we are supposed to win but one of their damn player gets hot and shoots lights out. Hoping this team can continue to surprise and exceed expectations. CJF needs to make 7 three pointers to make up for an off shooting night against Rutgers. I feel one of these games are coming from him AND Weezy.

 

[Aleksei]

Wisconsin is always tough! I’m cautiously optimistic but a little worried. I hope it’s not as close as the Rutgers game as I’m not sure my heart can stand two of these in a row.

 

[Hawksfor3]

I hope we stomp these cheese----s. I still get Bo Ryan flashbacks.

 

[AestroHogs]

Sconnie is much better than they were earlier this year now that Micah Potter is eligible.

 

[IllQChawk]

The Wisconsin/Iowa games that Kaminski anchored were all closely contested wars, with Wisconsin and Frank always owning the final minutes of the games to pull them out in Carver.
Now it's our turn to flex our inside muscle with Luka manning the middle and C.J and Weeze providing additional outside firepower it will be a war that should come down to the wire with the Black and Gold this time coming out victorious. Monday can't get here fast enough....

 

[BondHawk]

Reasonable chance we are playing to move into a first place tie Monday night.....

[perryhawk]

This is the game that I want about as bad as any on the schedule....and unfortunately Wisconsin is playing well right now...not sure how they are doing on the road?

I'm glad they don't play until Monday as our guys I think need a rest.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Let's hope there's a lot of holes in that cheese.

 

[wbrhawkeye]

What are the anticipated matchups? Which players will have the edge besides Garza?

 

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Greg Guard owns Fran

Badgers have wins at Penn State and Ohio State I believe, so they have been getting it done on the road.

Typical Wisconsin. Good solid team with a bunch of guys who know how to play and don't make mistakes. No one as dominant as Happ, but strong all around. They have 5 guys I think with at least 20 made 3's on the season, and in the 9 games Micah Potter has made he is 9-17 from 3-point land.

Garza will need to have a big game and I think he might. Will be a good game.

Big 10 title is there for the taking, or at least to compete for it. The game at Breslin with MSU unfortunately is usually a house of horrors.

 

[ZumaHawk]

Honestly, Wisconsin will try to make this game ugly again. Luka will own them and our beloved Hawks are gonna run them out of the gym. That is what I'm hoping anyway!!

 

[drh1150]

We will be better than the cheddar.

 

[Jizzer]

Wisconsin is 5-3, but they look like they've had a tougher schedule so far in the big 10. @MSU, @Rutgers, @PSU, @OSU, Indy, MD, Illinois, and Nebby.

Greg Guard owns Fran

Wisconsin doesn't pay their coaches well,... Greg has only been renting and he's about to get evicted...

 

[Rifler]

Hoping that our "hated rival" Boilermakers can soften the Badgers up a bit tonight so that they will be nice and pliable on Monday,... a hard fought double overtime would be nice.

Connor over Colby

Fredrick over fromage

Pemsl over parmesan

(And scraping the bottom of the cheese barrel) Kriener over Kraft Mac and Cheese

 

[Chishawk1425]

They play tonight at Purdue, go Purdue and we will be more rested for this one back to back travel for them and only 2 days in between.

 

[pocha444444]

No reason to follow them, OP. They aren't good, and they play boring basketball. If you can even call it basketball.

Potter was eligible, I believe the first of the year. It gave them another talented big man. They are your typical Wisconsin team hacking you on defense and running a very efficient offense. It will be a very difficult game for the Hawks unless Wisconsin shoots poorly from the outside. In their last game they set some sort of record for 3"s, so who knows.

 

[Ronman]

Must make Wisky fans proud to know that the anti-flop ordinance passed this year was based largely on their style of "defense."

 

[MepoDawg#]

Didn’t Davidson get hurt last game or 2 games ago at the end of the game? What’s his status?

He played in their last game. Don't think he has missed any time due to injury.
