The recovery process took University of Wisconsin sophomore guard Connor Essegian longer than he thought: Five minutes into his second season, an Arkansas State player Essegian was boxing out fell over his back.

Didn't miss much
I completely forgot this game was happening 😀

CE3's effort still solid
Liked Essegian's energy, especially on defense. Glad he had a couple threes fall.

Midterms are coming
It was nice to see the Badgers win a game that they were supposed to without any drama! I am excited to see a team with some depth and young athletes. Chucky started to come on offensively and Wahl and Crowl are playing solid ball. Can’t wait to see how this team progresses!

"At Michigan State is the easy game."
Sources (on TV) say the schedule gets a bit tougher from here. Let's bottle the #karma of half-time hotshot and see where it takes us. Apparently, we won't be riding the Gus Bus to get there.😉🏀

Winter is here
Hepburn, Crowl, Storr, and Wahl all scored in double figures as the Badgers defeated Western Illinois, 71-49. Liked the scoring in the paint during the 1st half. Credit to the players being up for a brutally cold Monday night early start before a sparse crowd which was expected.

Adjustments incoming?
Solid. Looked like Gard was working some new rotations, which may have made things look a bit sloppy. Hoping they saved their best basketball for Saturday (and then the two that follow).

Rumor has it a good team is coming
Solid home win with good performances from much of the team. Nice tune-up for a major test on Saturday.

Overmatched indeed
Returning from Florida and awaiting Marquette on Saturday, can’t be upset with a convincing win against an overmatched opponent! Bring on the Warriors!

Who says they didn't care?
Pretty easy cover for western Illinois. Easy money there. Badgers not caring much this game with a huge schedule upcoming

No surprises are good
Largely non-descript.

Great price!
This game had as much meaning as the $1 secondary market ticket prices. Check back on Saturday afternoon.

And they did!
They’re supposed to win that game

Think so?
Gotta play better than that on Saturday or that game will be over by halftime

Goodnight!
Yawn!

Free throws are free!
Offense seemed in slow motion at times. Too much standing around. This will not fly against Marquette. Overall, a win is a win and good to see better free throw shooting. #Badgers

Any eligibility left?
That halftime half-court shot for $5K was pretty fun.

Because they own the paint?
Crowl and Wahl should be selling insurance

Meh…didn’t learn anything. Didn’t cover spread. Still work in progress to establish identity.
