Let Badger Hate week commence!!!

[KenoshaWarrior]

I know that Badger hate week starts on somewhat of a down note as we are heading into THEIR "Super Bowl" with 3 losses.  But lets not that damper our spirits.   
I have this strange feeling that we are going to play really well on Saturday and win by 10 plus.  I know crazy right.  But name one player on the Badgers that can hang with Big Sheesh?  It wont be Kaminsky and his phantom 40 point game.  Juan is going to lock down Sam Deck, and Mayo will relive his 2011 performance as a freshman and score countless high arching layups of the glass.    Im excited, this team is playing much better than it was earlier and I truly believe that J-Will and Sheesh are going to extend it to 3 in a row, which means that Jamil Wilson will have never lost to the Badgers!!

Cannot wait to travel down there Saturday morning!

Marquette fans gathering anywhere before the game?

I'm not sure about winning by 10+, but MU certainly has a great chance to win.  We've been winning games on strong rebounding and second chance points, and I think the paint is probably where the Badgers are most vulnerable this particular year.  If they go a little cold from three and MU can put up a strong rebounding game with strong defense, we've got more than just a shot to win.

hate to be Debbie Downer, but I don't see us staying within 10 points. We can't defend the three at all and can't shoot from outside 10 feet. Plus, Bo will start whining 20 minutes before tipoff and the refs will give them every call. We may play well, but winning in that dump is tough.

Even though I'm higher on this team than I was a week ago, I agree. They can all shoot, and MU hasn't been great covering the perimeter.

No more flopping by Brusewitz this year.

Expecting a loss.   Could be tOSU redux.

Have you been to a game before in Madison?  If so, they'll be everywhere down there.  Not sure but I don't think MU is doing anything official beforehand.

[MUFan42]

I'll be there..section 205

[mubb34]

We have 4 in section311... We will be the ones with the MU flag. Also, some people mentioned Wandos as a place to go before the game so that's probably where we will be.

Let's take over the Nitty Gritty.  That'll be a friendly place.

Some fun that was had to Bo Ryan's Wikipedia page after their tournament loss to Ole Miss.

I have been there pre-game with gold on and they were fine.

I was just there Saturday with Penn State blue on (pre-game) and they were happy as clams.  Dotty's is also a good place.

I disagree with the perimeter talk.  Don't confuse outcomes with ability.  Just because a team makes a 3 doesn't mean it was a good shot or MU was bad at defending it.  If you look at the last two weeks I think the defense has been there and forced some shot selection that unfortunately resulted in buckets but they were bad shots.  You can't guard luck so to speak.

Love this one paragraph under the Wisconsin section in the 2nd link

"Ryan has written three books: Bo Ryan: Another Hill to climb - Another Loss to endure, The Swing (and a miss) Offense, and Passing and Catching (but not shooting): the Lost Art. If Bo Ryan owned a restaurant, you would not be able to get drunk as you would be tossed out after the first round."

And this one

"On January 27, 2007 UW-Platteville officially honored Ryan's 15-year tenure by naming the playing surface at Williams Fieldhouse "Bo Ryan Court". Ryan, along with the 2007 Wisconsin Badgers team, attended the event. After the latest NCAA Tourney gag against Ole Miss, UW-Plattville will rename the court to someone who has actually brought honor to the game of basketball. Someone like Hong Kong Phooey."

It's dated, but still makes me laugh.  Not liking our chances this week, then again I gave UCLA no shot to beat USC in football this weekend starting 3 freshmen on the offensive line and they pulled it off.

I will be at Wandos.

Both Wandos and Dotties will be busy.  Wandos has the advantage of a third floor....doesn't fill up as fast.

[Litehouse]

I'll probably be at the Echo beforehand wearing a gold Warrior shirt.

Looks like that is where I will be! Go Warriors!

They've given up a lot of open looks out there that have gone unpunished. The wings have had a bad habit of getting sucked in too far after giving help, or doubling down on a post catch and not recovering fast enough.

When has it ever been their "Super Bowl"? We make a much bigger deal about this game than they do. UW's big games to them are against the Michigan St, Ohio St, and other big ten teams.

I will put a plug in for Dahmen's Pizza Place on the west side.  They are the only bar in town that will put our game on over the UW game.  Wes stopped in and watched the WV game a couple of years ago (his friends are the owners).  My cousin is getting married in Louisville on Saturday, so I will be unable to make the 3 mile trip to the Kohl Center.
