$2.5 Billion in trading volume between the 10 BTC ETF’s that started trading today (including Black Rock, Ark, and Fidelity) in the first 20 minutes. Wow.

Chri Davis - Sun Prairie Jr. - 40 pt average / game. What is the story about him over recruiting. Is UW actively interested or are there issues with him.

Personally, I expected around 23-24 wins at this point. I'm not sure why we hit this wall, but we did, The defense was/has been terrible this year! Why? It's been a staple for ages, and now we can't defend a mid range jumper....WHY? Will we be better next year? I know that I'm in the minority on Freitag, but I think that he's a HUGE difference maker. I also think that Yalden will be a difference maker. Will Storr stay? Will Blackwell stay? Will Connor Stay? Will Hodges leave? Will Illvers leave? SO many questions! What say you?

In tonight's Division 1 Final we have a Klesmit playing against a Gilmore.

Ho-lee-sh*t...

That was amazing.

I didn't appreciate his defense after.

Thoughts?

Will the losing continue tonight at the Kohl Center, or will the Badgers begin to right the ship?

Koenig's 3 pointer vs Xavier? Brust's 3 pointer vs Michigan? Finley's put back slam off a missed FT? Mathews buzzer beater 3/4 shot vs MSU and Magic? Thompkins alley oop slam to win the game vs (I think Indiana)? SO many options here, and I'm sure that I'm forgetting many! Thoughts?

There's been some memorable ones in a lot of Wisconsin athletics. What's your "I was there" game for the Badgers?
