Played a great game and almost beat us, Izzo is a great Tourney coach..
Badgers though looked a little sluggish out there, getting beaten for defensive rebounds and loose balls for the first time in a very long time.
Hope the many minutes the top 5 have been playing aren't finally starting to catch up but they dig down deep and win the OT handily..
Nigel Hayes had a great game along with Bronson both making clutch shots over and over to keep us going.
Nigel has become a terrific team player, clutch rebounder and shooter, unselfish and a good passer too. Rarely do you see a kid like him, a soph play under control like he does and help in every facet of the game.
He's improved dramatically on defense also.
We'll need to get Dekker back involved, his shooting has gone backwards again, he's not really shooting it, just spinning it out of his hands, looks like he can't hit the broadside of the barn right now but he has a few days to figure it out, he'll be needed even with the re-emergence of Dukan if we want to make a run.
I'd post Sam up a little more, he can beat most of these guys close to the basket.
Should be a great tourney, like where the Badgers are in the West, like they're the last game to be played also, gives them a little more rest.
Wouldn't mind seeing a little more of Showalter in longer spurts to keep Gasser and Bronson fresh, Showy could fool some people early in the tourney with his athleticism and energy. Don't think we can expect much of Trae, even if he plays.
