It’s gonna be an epic battle, Wahl got moves for days and deadly shooter. Mags gotta lock him up
Mag gotta check Wahl..he’s the only one.
- Thread starter SBP
- Start date
Same game plan as with Jahmir Young: double and triple team him but Wisky has other better players, too….
Do not want to see double and triple teams on Wahl
Based on tonight , we have a chance to win Saturday. If they lose tonight they will be on a 3 game losing streak.
I am worried about how we are going to stop keep missing shots
That's the problem but I would like to see some Mag on Storr
If Hyatt is in, I could see him actually having a go at Wahl and Mag on Storr but not really other options
We were good on offense second half Michigan and second half Maryland
Home game. Cliff and JWill not in big foul trouble.... the offense is primed to perform
We got Gavin to play respectable defense in 2/3 of a year. Going to take a lot more than that for our man to figure it out.
Screw it, give it a shot and put him at center
Jwill
Gavin
Hyatt
Oskar
Chol
This could be said for the last 5-10 years. Can’t remember a team that shot well.
Indeed. After starting out pretty good from deep, Mag is now 25% (10-40).
The way we switch defensively, you'll definitely see some Mag on Storr. Unfortunately, that also means we may see some Fernandes on Wahl, too.
politics and RU shooting is low lying fruit for a comedian.
With RU not being so great my watching of college basketball has fallen off a cliff. I havent seen Wisconsin at all.
Not sure of AWill status, but I think a huge weapon we have against a lot of teams is our ability, especially at home, to wear out opposing guards with constant pressure. We now have the depth to do it for 40 minutes. It isn't always about getting steals but just wearing out opposing guards physically and more importantly mentally. If you make Wisconsin initiate offense 5 feet further then you are accustom to their usual weapons arent as effective.

Hyatt hasn't started last couple games so unless Pike changes the starting lineup it will have to be Jwill on storr and Mag on Wahl
Yeah, I get it, but I don't love losing the height/length match up at 4 of 5 spots when it really doesn't help us at the offensive end either. We haven't started out great in most of these games recently either Hyatt's game seems neutered coming off the bench. Don't like to change what worked in the end, but we have the best defender in this game, play him on their best player.
Just bc JWill got in foul trouble last game, doesn't mean it will definitely happen again
Usually, I would agree. But three losses in a row for a team that was 16-4 is no bueno. They are in a bonafide funk, and the RAC is a tough place to come out of that.
They won't be in a slump forever though. How many 16-4 teams end up losing 4 in a row
One more bad game. Save slump busting for the next one!
The other side of it is... how likely is a team that is slumping going to break out against the 2nd best defense in a road game?
Hyatt and Mag combined PTS REBS need to exceed whatever Wahl puts on the board. If that happens, I see a path for RU to win Saturday afternoon.
If they don't come up with the 12/5 he's been averaging lately, RU is in trouble. If he goes off for 20 something, it may be close. Need to try and keep Storr under the 21 he's been averaging over the last 5.
