Wisconsin is coming off of two losses, but were able to take some frustration out on UW-Green Bay Wednesday night. The Badgers are coming off a tough loss to North Carolina, and a surprise home defeat from Marquette. As well as the Badgers played against UNC it was a little odd to see them get beat by Marquette at home. The Badgers faced UWGB looking to get some pieces of the puzzle back together, and that is what they did. Wisconsin took down UWGB Wednesday night 70-42.
This season the Badgers seem to be living and dying by the three, but the key for them still is . Wisconsin only allowed one person on Green Bay to score in double figures. Jordan Taylor on the other hand had a rough night shooting, but dished out 10 assists. Taylor also finished with 15 points, but was 1-4 from downtown. Green Bay was lead by Alec Brown with 10 points.
The big men for Wisconsin had good nights. Ryan Evans had 14 points, and 6 rebounds. Jared Berggren finished with 13 points, 4 steals, 3 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Those are huge stat lines for the Wisconsin front court. I think for Wisconsin to be a threat this year they need to have a post up game. If they are making three pointers they will win games, but if they are off Wisconsin seems to have no second option. They need to drive to the hoop so they can get to the line more. It is still early in the season, so nothing to panic about right now. At the end of the year this will be a team that will win games. Next up is UNLV Saturday at home, but this will be no walk in the park. UNLV beat UNC earlier this year, so this will be a big game for the Badgers.
