Wisconsin men's basketball fans elated after wire-to-wire win at Michigan State
Seems legit
I don't mean to overreact, but we're going to the final four.

Print the vests!
Incredible D. And we had heard MSU’s D was super. Not so much. Badgers on fire 🔥as a TEAM. Rebounds are us! Keep it going Badgers.

Now that's a comparison
Great road win! AJ Storr is Alando Tucker with a jump shot. Difference maker on this team. However, Bo would have pulled him off the court a couple times tonight.

Food for thought
AJ Storr reminds me of Michael Finley.

Big improvements
The Badgers win their Big Ten opener defeating Michigan State 70-57 for their third consecutive victory at the Breslin Center. Wisconsin was perfect from the charity stripe. Steven Crowl & AJ Storr began the game knocking down 3’s. Storr had 22, while Crowl finished with 18.

Big Steve on a heater
I know everyone wants to talk about Storr and Blackwell (with good reason) but man oh man how impressive has Crowl been these past few games? He seems to have found a new sense of confidence and that is going to carry this team a long way.

Three straight
Any win at Breslin is a good win.

When this team is clicking, they are so good and so fun to watch.
Not getting easier
Solid. Important. Needed 1 of 2 in tough road environments this week.

Finding an identity
That was decisive! Dominant on the boards again. Great from the free throw line and three point line. Held off the big run. Super impressive!

Hmmm
When is this “hell week” going to start?

*snore*
At least the 22 ahead
Ssssssshhhh! Don't tell anyone about us.

As opposed to streaming
Saturday’s game will be the national test

And Robbie's really good himself
Just plain solid. Robbie Hummel said it pretty well, “This Badgers team is really good”

Depth a positive
It’s great to have a team where any given night another guy can step up and score. We shouldn’t see a lot of scoring droughts this year and we just have to stay healthy. Also, I LOVE beating Izzo too! That’s 3 wins in a row for Bucky in the Breslin Center! On, Wisconsin!

Proving to be so far
This team has incredible depth; really think this team could be special this year
— Greg Gard Stan (@dcjorgenson) December 6, 2023
Physical, too
Wow. This is a hard working, fun team to watch.
— Eric M. Tostrud (@EricTostrud) December 6, 2023
Fast, hard, finish
Back2Back games a lead was cut they didn't panic and finished

Wire to wire
It really must be a new era of Wisconsin basketball. I don’t remember many Badger teams going to East Lansing and just waxing Michigan State like that.
— Joseph Britt (@Zathras3) December 6, 2023
They've been good
Another quality win. This is a special team.
— Scott L (@CCSO228) December 6, 2023
FUN-damentals
Nice W.. very tough place to win. Doing the basic stuff well- rebounding, defense..Storr stepping up nicely on O..
— Paul Bergum (@paul_bergum) December 6, 2023
Be careful what you wish for
1. It feels good to be the team to go on scoring runs
— Randall Kohl (@crandallkohl) December 6, 2023
2. We’re consistently making free throws
3. Bring on Arizona!!!!
A true identity
Never seen a UW team crash the offensive boards like this, very impressive
— Jj Schmitz (@sportzbyschmitz) December 6, 2023
Aggressiveness and fearless
Confidence at a new high. So impressive. Love how AJ and Blackwell go right to the rim and either draw a foul or make a basket. So young but they play with no fear. Another great game by all. A lot of small things done well!

What's wrong with Chucky scoring?
Key Factors:
— Madtown Shane (@MadtownShane) December 6, 2023
-45.1% FG% will win lots of games for this team.
-14-14 from FT also a key
-36 to 22 rebounding advantage vs. MSU...are you kidding?
-Chucky realizing scoring isn't leadership...what he's been doing IS.
Wouldn't that be special?
3 straight at Mich St seems crazy. Now take out Zona and run the gauntlet!
— tony hoffman (@badgerfanot) December 6, 2023
Defense has been solid
I can’t believe it. Their parts are fitting together nicely. Rebounding and defense are much improved.
— Chad Weinfurter (@chadweinfurter) December 6, 2023
It really has sparked something
Bucky keeps rolling W! Amazing turnaround from Providence
— chris c (@ccnice1) December 6, 2023
Good to be wrong
🙋♂️ Hand up @barryisthedon, I might have overreacted to the early season struggles. Happy to admit it when I'm wrong, and I hope they continue to show me just how wrong I was.
— Josh (@LaserShow03) December 6, 2023
Could be, we'll see
Gard’s deepest and most talented team. Haven’t come close to reaching peak yet either. Team could be special.

Hottest team in college hoops?

That'll pay off at some point
Really good looking team. Deepest team I can remember. Hyped

Sure does
Gardo has the boys humming.

It spreads
This is the best non tournament back to back game in years. The silent assassin moniker is once again spot on!
