Scouting Wisconsin

Under interim coach Greg Gard, Wisconsin is playing its best basketball of the season. The Badgers have won five straight games after a 1-4 Big Ten start. Gard, who took over for Bo Ryan following Wisconsin’s win over Texas A&M Corpus-Christi on Dec. 13, has guided the Badgers to a pair of wins over ranked teams, including a one-point win over then-No. 5 Michigan State.


The Badgers returned just two starters from a team that went 36-4 and lost to Duke in the national title game. Junior Nigel Hayes has been one of the Big Ten’s best frontcourt players, averaging a team-high 17.1 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. Redshirt freshman Ethan Happ (12.3 ppg; 8.1 rpg) and junior Bronson Koenig (13.4 ppg; 2.2 apg) supplement Hayes’ offensive production.
 
Before Shavon's injury, this was a game I thought was semi-favorable for us.

We seem to really match-up with any team that doesn't overpower us in the paint, and Whisky fits that criterion.

Now, we really need to McVeigh to play with confidence, shoot with confidence and gets us some rebounds to make this competitive.

This would be a really, really, great opportunity for him to get going.

 
With McVeigh starting, the most important thing is spacing.

Jack has become more willing to shoot when he is open and so we need to give him that chance.

That being said, no Shavon will make it very difficult to spread the floor since we dont have one of our best penetration threats.

 
Nigel Hayes should have a field day hanging out at the free throw line against this zone. He always had a very good mid range game.

Definitely hope good Tai shows up tonight
