Wisconsin Game 11/16/17

[Anti-Homer]

I didn't read every post so apologies if this has already been stated. T Jones was very impressive, playing against one of the best post players in cbb. In 17 minutes, he shot 4 for 6 from the field and 3-4 from the line for a total of 11 points. He also had 6 boards, and 3 fouls, though no bad ones like sticking his knee out on a screen 30 feet from the hoop. He also hustled down and re-stole his own turnover to seal the game.

Another great exchange was when CM told them to not fall for the fake handoff from Happ and it happened two minutes later, leading to a missed lab.
Wisky isn't great, and I expected X to win, but they'll probably be in the tourney. Also, as we found out when we had D West (not that Happ is as good), but great players will their teams to win games they shouldn't. Happ is one of those guys.

Comparing Happ to Kevin McHale was spot on. Happ doesn't seem to have much of an outside shot but his post moves are outstanding
Basketball Jones might made the play of the game with the steal back from his turnover. Great hustle on his part
He might be the the most improved player this year albeit with only 3 games in

Wisconsin fans chant "Ass hole" and Brando and Rafferty get on JP
Those two just need to shut the f$&@ up

interesting how the fans actions during the game and JP's response on court and his answer to them when his work was finished.

Here are some of the "tidbits" the Wisky fans offered about JP on the website - Buckys5thquarter.
"Macura's smirk is the worst"
"Makes him look like an ass"
"A guy you just want to punch"
"Looks like a d**k"
"Is a d**k"
"POS"
"Punk"
"A**hole"
One poster did offer that the fans were chanting "a**hole" and "little b**ch". But was quickly shot down by other posters
Way to stay classy Wisky fans

If JP was on Carolina, Duke, or KY he would have swagger.

Apparently Steve Stricker is going off on Macura and Mack on twitter

Check out this article from The Cincinnati Enquirer:

Golfer Steve Stricker blasts Xavier basketball, Chris Mack

Love the tweet from Mario Mecurio
I think JP's "gator chomp" was a perfect response.
I love JP's "edge".

Steve Stricker. Never heard of him before this post.
Is he a G League golfer?.

The funniest comment I read from a poster on the Badger 247 board..."Against Xavier our starting guards looked like smurfs".
