A few things about Purdu
• Getting out of the narrow loss in Ann Arbor, already half a game of Partyu behind the league leader Michigan, half a game in front of Michigan and a complete game in front of Wisconsin
• Braden Smith It only needs 28 more assists to break Bruce Parkinson’s 690 Career Record.
Smith has also scored 24 points in four of the last five games.
• The game in Michigan was the first of the season of Partyu to receive points from his bench. The four main reserves of Purdu are combined into a game of the big ten to average almost points per game.
• Trey Kaufman-Son and Caleb Furst Contaming in Michigan, noted the first two DQ of the boilers of the boilers.
For this game
• Badgers have won three in a row to position themselves to get into the race for the big ten down title.
• All said, Wisconsin can be the best offensive team in the big ten. This is No. 2 in the conference game in the efficiency and effective percentage of the field, but # 1 in a three-point shooting (39 percent)-a clirgently half of their photos are threesomes-and 80 % foul team. Wisconsin’s third in the big ten in the celebration of Illinois and Purdu, but as as capable as anyone who simply manages the residents of the floor.
In early January, Badgers scored 116 points at home against Iowa; It was a few weeks ago, Wisconsin opened with a 24-4 run at home against Indiana.
• At the same time, Wisconsin allows only just under 70 points in Big Ten, the third most fewst in the conference, behind only the state of Michigan and Purdu.
• John Tonewho came to Wisconsin through Missouri after a four -year career in Colorado, not only replaced the departed AJ STORRBut it was upgrading as it is an average of 17.7 points and shoots 43 percent of three and fits Wisconsin well. He and the returning John Blackwell and Max Clezmith make up one of the most awesome trio to stretch the floor in the large ten, complementing the veteran center Steven CroleS
Three keys for Partyu
| Fouls and Free throws | Three -point shooting | Offensive struggles., Faster breaks |
| These are always physical games. Partyu should avoid trouble and preferably apply some opponents. | Purdu has to protect Wisconsin from shooting the best. The book is already on the protective systems of boiler manufacturers, which requires it to be so better in rotations, switches, ball pressure, etc. And to take care of basketball, of course. | “Easy” points, but they can always be found, but more in games like this. In both directions. This is important: Partyu scored only one quick point in Michigan. It was a reliable source of insult this season. |
Wisconsin’s credit for its excellent season after hitting hard from other people who buy their players. The badgers have been rediscovered to some extent in a program where continuity has always mattered. But Partyu is still Purdu in Maki Arena, and this group has always reacted quite well to the disadvantage and it has to be done after this strange loss in Michigan.
