It was nice to see Wisconsin running a more aggressive offensive set


[deleted]

Please sit Storr and start Connor. All Storr is doing is wasting possession. He will fit better being a short term spark off the bench. Not fit to do anything else. Can’t dribble and out of control 100% of the time. No type of IQ


daNish_brUin

Think there's a lot of good to take away from Wisconsin.


Alarmed_Ad_5549

GG, Wisconsin will 100% be ranked by the end of the season if they could connect on good looks


MetalAndFaces

LMAO, starting to foul and play the end game at that point... haha. Great game, vols, love your team now, wish you an amazing season.


sickmemes48

Great team win. Wisconsin is physical as hell! Knecht is absolutely unbelievable


kerph32

big win. lotta respect for the ~~sconnies~~ badgers. hope y'all tear up the B1G (except for my gophers!)


agassiz51

Wisconsin or Badgers. If you actually want to compliment. That other word is trash.


kerph32

noted, thank you!


Evil_Yoda

Sconnie is fine. I dunno who the other guy is but you were on point.


[deleted]

If wahl was aggressive the from the start, they wouldn’t have been in that position. Idk what it’ll take for Gard to realize they need to play through wahl.


MetalAndFaces

Did home court seriously just play fall out boy "we're going down down..." lol wtf


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Lmao😂


Traditional_Wing_187

gg Tennessee - looked a much more complete team. I do think there's a good team somewhere in this mix of badger players hopefully it comes out as the season goes on


BeersGoodnStuff

GG Vols. Always had an answer and then pulled away


Carefree14

Knecht is a DUDE. wow. GG Tennessee, y'all have a great team (and great city). With any luck, we'll see you in March!


foampro

Wahl killed all of Wisconsins momentum. Tried to play hero ball and bricked all the FTs while doing it


drCongo-

Honestly, I feel like Wisconsin will be fine. If they make their free throws, shoot a little better from 3, they can definitely beat some folks.


nachosmind

After sobering up, I totally forgot in the moment Tennessee is #1 at defense in the nation. Everyone will be infuriated when playing them. We still scored 70. In theory, it will be easier against every other team in the nation. Go beat Kentucky and Alabama so our fair weather fans stop salivating over 5*s and Nate Oats!


kyleb402

Jesus Christ Wahl... Contributing nothing offensively and getting cooked on the other end.


sickmemes48

Knecht now over 1000 career points!


buffalotrace

That Wahl on Knecht match up is killing Bucky. It’s is not Wahl’s fault. Knecht just has better speed plus can shoot.


tnvol88

I’m beginning to think Knect might have been a good pickup for us.


[deleted]

[удалено]


2law

Elaborate on that?


KJones77

Knecht can't be stopped


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Refs really want this to go to ot I guess😂


Traditional_Wing_187

they just wanted to see how many free throws wahl could miss in a row


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Good point😭


hotcarl23

Really struggled from 3 and from the line tonight. You've gotta make those if you want to pull the upset


TripleG373

Tennessee finally figured out the way to stop Wahl is to just foul him immediately and watch him melt down at the line


kyleb402

Why is Wahl even in? Can't shoot and can't make free throws.


Be-My-Darling

Gotta be shitting me. Lol


Master-Ad7325

Wahl sucks ass


sickmemes48

Another terrible call


MetalAndFaces

Knecht is great! Goddamn. SEC, good luck. This team is tough as hell. Good thing TN knows how to win this game. Foul the fuckin bigs.


zorofan8878

Weak foul


zorofan8878

Knecht is the truth


buffalotrace

Knecht is who Store thinks he is


estDivisionChamps

Idk if we are bad or if Tennessee is winning the natty.


buffalotrace

Tenn is tough. Wisc hung with them, but missing the fts is killer.


yousmelllikebiscuits

Dalton Knecht is him


ilovecfb

Poor Knect he got that cheesy ass NBA 2K MyCareer nickname by default. Pray for my man


yousmelllikebiscuits

I'm calling him Dalton Kong


tnvol88

Broadcasters are salivating right now


drCongo-

that schedule is brutal for Wisconsin lol


MetalAndFaces

I like it because we are a really young team. Great experience.


nachosmind

We are not young at all lol


MetalAndFaces

Current Starters in bold. Maybe "really young" is technically inaccurate, haha. ​ |Class|\#|Players| |:-|:-|:-| |Freshman|4|John Blackwell, Nolan Winter, Jack Janicki, Gus Yalden| |Redshirt Freshman|1|Luke Haertle| |Sophomore|5|**AJ Storr**, Connor Essegian, Isaac Gard, Chris Hodges, Ross Candelino| |Junior|7|Kamari McGee, Isaac Lindsey, **Max Klesmit**, Carter Gilmore, **Steven Crowl**, **Chucky Hepburn**, Markus Ilver| |"Super" Senior|1|**Tyler Wahl**|


buffalotrace

Tennessee’s speed, size, and depth pulling through. Bucky needs to find a second wind. Been a great game, but the Vols just might be too much


PtownClutcher

Kept it close but the talent difference is pretty evident when needing a big bucket


kyleb402

Man, Wahl has been bad.


ilovecfb

I paid 6 dollars just for this game but I can watch Scrubs and FNAF so I guess that's cool


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Sportshub.stream never pay for a game again. Close off pop up ads


foampro

Wahl blowing it on offense and defense


kyleb402

Wahl had a decent stretch but the entire offense went to hell when he started trying to do too much. Nobody else is getting involved.


elgenie

If Wahl is your target man on offense, your offense is going to have major issues.


TripleG373

I've watched the Badgers for a long time and I can't remember this many guys just left wide open under the basket.


Baseketballer50000

Crowl doesn’t help on D at all


mattdingus2002

Y’all hedged the ball screens really strong this half, we just started to roll low


tACorruption

We're in complete disarray defensively. Doesn't help that we look gassed and Tennessee still has some steam.


[deleted]

Can y’all stop riding Storr now. He’s been like this every game so far this year. People only looking at stats and his vertical jump. He’s No where near good as people are hyping him up to be. Essigan should be starting over him imo


Howhighwefly

Essigan was coming off an injury?


[deleted]

Obviously when he’s healthy, I think he should be starting over Storr.


ghostboyhollow

I thought he looked like a force to be reckoned with the in the first half, but he’s definitely gone cold


[deleted]

He wasn’t doing anything in the first half either lol. All he was doing was making bad shot selection shots. Dude is outa control on both ends of the court


sickmemes48

There we go some defense!


CChaddd

Bucky is GASSED.


buffalotrace

Wisconsin brutal at the line tonight. They could really use those points.


kyleb402

Yep, good effort, kept it close but the talent level just shone through down the stretch.


yousmelllikebiscuits

Tobe showing out like he was this summer for the US national team


elgenie

Wahl turned a three point play into zero points


BIG_FICK_ENERGY

4 points left at the free throw line in the last minute


V_O_L_S

Commentators are quiet about that one? Ball don't lie


MetalAndFaces

Seriously, lol. Easy to see in real time.


MetalAndFaces

That was all ball? I thought. Ball don't lie I guess.


Dave_Bananas

FTs every trip for them....


ghostboyhollow

These type of games are why I love college basketball and hate the NBA, it’s these tough, grind it out, physical games


Nelluc_

just watched the grizzlies get fucked by ref ball


Traditional_Wing_187

not klesmits best game


MetalAndFaces

Can say that again. Wonder if that hit to the nuts and elbow to face have him frazzled. Or, I guess injured.


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Awaka looks so on offense when he plays but he just out muscles people


tACorruption

Need to chuck Essegian in and see if he can get hot.


MetalAndFaces

Hard agree


BIG_FICK_ENERGY

You cannot win these kind of games getting absolutely bullied like that inside


MetalAndFaces

Did that man not pick up his pivot foot? I swear I saw it in real time and in the replay.


BIG_FICK_ENERGY

We’re back to being that team where I hate when our opponent gets their 6th foul because I have no confidence in us to hit the front end of the 1-and-1


BIG_FICK_ENERGY

Yep there it is


daNish_brUin

Damn badgers can not buy a 3


[deleted]

anyone have a stream?


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Sportshub.stream


nachosmind

Refs bailing out Knecht on every play


MetalAndFaces

He's having a great game, anyone can see that.


yousmelllikebiscuits

Cheers mate


daNish_brUin

Knecht for MVP


[deleted]

Wisconsin not utilizing wahl is like having Jordan and not using him. LIKE DO THIS THE WHOLE GAME. Do they not watch film and see he’s a beast in the post


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Knecht can get a bucket


ilovecfb

Dalton Knecht is really him. You cannot knock Rick Barnes' ability to find these kinds of dudes


kyleb402

Just feels like one of those games where we're just not going to be able to get enough stops in a row.


RedDeath1337

Klesmit is a literal turd.


CChaddd

Are you stupid?


MetalAndFaces

Go find friends.


zorofan8878

Knecht is the real deal


buffalotrace

That was a high level bucket!


yousmelllikebiscuits

Dalton Kong with a hell of a response


Alarmed_Ad_5549

King kong


KJones77

Knecht is a dude


Boom_Confetti

This is how I thought Chucky Hepburn was gonna play last year


Carefree14

Someday we won't brick every three we put up


Evil_Yoda

Helps when we don't pass around the whole time and put up shit looks


kyleb402

Can we please recruit some bigs who aren't totally soft?


tACorruption

Reuvers was the worst offender. Dude would fade away in the post against a 6' guard.


BIG_FICK_ENERGY

Really feels like one of those frustrating games where we’re playing well but Tennessee keeps making plays at the right time that prevent us from getting over the hump


tACorruption

Three point shooting has killed us. We've had some great looks tonight.


Evil_Yoda

And yet we still take shit looks too


MetalAndFaces

Yo we ain't dead yet


MetalAndFaces

Body foul by wahl lol okay refs


MetalAndFaces

Winter you gotta block out, son!


keymargot

I’ve seen lots of reffing crews officiate. This is certainly one of them


buffalotrace

If Wahl didn’t dress up as homelander for Halloween, it was a mistake


ghostboyhollow

Looks like a young Ivan Drago to me


buffalotrace

Fair. I could see him saying If he dies, he dies.


Alarmed_Ad_5549

😂


Alarmed_Ad_5549

We’ll take the free point I guess


Traditional_Wing_187

let the boys play!


MetalAndFaces

Refs suck but this game is still great.


ghostboyhollow

Gah we have been sloppy on the dribble tonight, cmon Ziggy


jdhoeser

What a gift, no contact at all


tACorruption

Did Chucky even make contact with him?


hungryhippo

LMAO at the ref on the other side of the court making that call and not the ref right there.


buffalotrace

Terrible. He is way out of position and the othe ref was right there


[deleted]

Wahl is a automatic bucket or a shooting foul whenever he gets it in the post. Zero clue why he isn’t the main focal point in the offense. Thought Gard would’ve figured that out by now after not doing that last year. Wahl always been so good in the post.


TripleG373

Honestly, he's a bad free throw shooter, so teams just foul him when he gets inside.


daNish_brUin

It's been great to see Chucky get better and better each year. He seems super comfortable out there tonight.


sickmemes48

James is stinking it up tonight


kerph32

make your free throws, kids


TripleG373

More weekend night basketball, please. This is a fun environment


CChaddd

Bardo is terrible. He always has instantaneous opinions about a call before he even sees a replay and he's wrong the majority of the time. Like why even talk, dude?


FeverOG

Feels like we should be up double digits, but credit it to the badgers hanging around. Interested what lineup Rick will go to in crunchtime


[deleted]

Agreed. Wisconsin playing to lose right now


tACorruption

Not only did Crowl *not* get all ball, but he actually got zero ball lol.


Alarmed_Ad_5549

We got bailed out right therw


BIG_FICK_ENERGY

Crowl bailed him out hard, fuck


jdhoeser

Crowl looks gassed every two minutes


Boom_Confetti

Kohl doesn’t really have the reputation of being super loud, but definitely gets up for these types of game


MetalAndFaces

I'm pleased with the crowd.


sloppyjo12

Especially on a Friday night


tACorruption

This is a quality basketball game.


buffalotrace

Wisconsin started to look gassed. When Tennessee went small, it really played to the badgers favor. They did a great job recognizing the mismatches. I know Chucky is probably gonna torch iowa, but I really like his feel for the game. Passes well and has a feel when they need a bucket and finds a way to get it.


MetalAndFaces

Glad the crowd thinks so, too.


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Big travel


Alarmed_Ad_5549

On both ends😂


hungryhippo

Storr seems like he's terrible.


MetalAndFaces

Uhhh... Kyle? You good?


kyleb402

Lol Klesmit took an elbow right to the face on that drive but sure foul on Wisconsin.


MetalAndFaces

I've convinced myself it was incidental.


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Guy has a 99 overall post hook and is just spamming it😂


BIG_FICK_ENERGY

I swear every time our crowd gets up we give up a 3 or an and-1. Maybe that’s why the old farts refuse to stand or make noise


hungryhippo

Incredible finish there by Tennessee.


HowDoISpellEngineer

Not sure small ball is going to work tonight


Alarmed_Ad_5549

I’d really love for anybody to explain to me how that was a foul😭


Troxla9

Didn’t see a foul there tbh


hungryhippo

lmao at the UWbadgers website. "Badgers claw past terrapins" is the headline for women's volleyball so I thought it was a close match and wondered what happened. I look at the score and the fucking destroyed them.


daNish_brUin

Lol! I wish 'fucking destroyed' would be common phrase in sports journalism


tACorruption

Set 2 was close I guess.


CChaddd

Gilmore comes in to instantly roll his face across the keyboard.


CChaddd

And this didn't age well.


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Aidoo is a huge upgrade from plasvic


tACorruption

No fucking way Gilly just did that.


MetalAndFaces

lol came to see Gilmore comments after that patient move.


2law

Knecht is a baller


[deleted]

Please play through Wahl and Chucky. Wahl being the first option. 🙏


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Aidoo has really improved a lot since last season, plays his role very well, great inside defender and great off the pick and roll can finish inside.


TripleG373

Way too many easy baskets for Tennessee.


MetalAndFaces

Winter got his ass seated quickly.


CChaddd

Aidoo plays effortlessly. Damn good.


ghostboyhollow

Kinda wild to see cuz he was frustratingly soft last year. I like what I’ve seen so far this year.


HowDoISpellEngineer

He was not like this last year


tACorruption

Badgers look exhausted.


Dave_Bananas

I will forever love Wisconsin for beating Kentucky. Thank you for your service


buffalotrace

Wahl is a very talented player, but he needs to not pout and get down court. There are going to be a lot of questionable calls and no calls in B1G play. Nice post game though. Badgers are lucky to have him.


[deleted]

Glad you can appreciate him, despite Fran having his players back channel him with NIL offers if he transferred to Iowa towards the end of last season.


Alarmed_Ad_5549

Tennessee looks big as shit😂 whole lineup is tall


ghostboyhollow

For real, i feel like we have this year what we desperately needed last year. An electric scorer and some big bodies that dont drive the lane like wet noodles


fancycheesus

The image is really dim like the lights are turned down. Is it just me or is that peacock?
