Big meeting at 11 a.m. Saturday
Storr shines on the big stage. Career high with 30. Steven Crowl’s 3pters are back. 19 pts for the Minnesota native. Team defense much better. Survive and advance with another shot against Purdue.

On a beautiful day no less
Winning: Always good for the soul.

A different yet familiar look
The Blackwell 3-pointer/Storr block/Storr steal sequence was the last of several "am I really seeing this" moments for the Badgers.

Kamari McGee goes high to block a shot? UW wins a B1G quarterfinal without Chucky?! Something special going on so far this week.
Basketball should be fun!
Really fun game. NW kept making runs and WI kept fighting them off and hitting clutch shots. That wouldn't have happened mid-February. Now we just need a healthy Hepburn, Wahl, Blackwell, etc.

P.S. Would it kill the B10 to call a moving screen? Preferably on Purdue tomorrow?
The inverse of the Nebraska game
Winning without Chuckie and after falling that far behind is extremely impressive. Many contributors. Storr stellar.

It really was quite the showing
This team is clicking at the right time! Good team win. Weathered an early storm of hot shooting by Boo Buie. Found a way to win without their best defensive player, Chucky Hepburn. Keep on pushing- win em all this weekend! Go Badgers

But Boo Buie is
NU isn’t that good. Kinda an easy win as it should’ve been

Endorsing this summary
Great coaching job, utilized available players well. As always, players have to perform as coaches expect, and they played great. Big boost to win w/o Chucky
— Dennis Whitehead (@Badgerden1) March 15, 2024
Stringing things together defensively
Best D they’ve played in a while. Keep that up and consistency with shooting and we can make a run.

This missing link just like we all thought
Kamari McGee played a great "glue guy" game. And the Badgers did a great job responding every time NW hit a big 2nd half shot.
— Craig Smith (@smithcp1) March 15, 2024
I'm just a little stitious
Great defensive effort! Wow. Without Chucky! I couldn’t believe that block from Kamari!! The man! AJ Stohr made a few misses early on but look how he finished! Dare I say it?? Tournament champs??
— Mary Korn Erickson (@sixtiesfan) March 15, 2024
Crowl's aggressiveness is key
We are playing with rhythm again. Crowl playing well opens everything up. Keep it up AJ.

B1G if true
Storr is an athlete. #OnWisconsin
— Madtown Alum (@madtownalum) March 15, 2024
They're still learning how to do it
Everything without Chucky. Great game considering they started out pretty flat. The only bad thing is we have to watch the refs officiate that tall guy again.

Hard to beat a team three times, they say
We're on to Purdee, Jim. 3rd time will be the charm (That and whomever this version of Steven Crowl is on the court!)
— Robb Vogel (@RobbVogel) March 15, 2024
Big-time performance
Pretty gutsy win. A lot of contributors. A lot guys banged up and Storr really stepped up
— Jeff Brown (@jbrowneahs) March 15, 2024
I don't hate this mindset
Badgers are complete with McGee back. Start the JV tomorrow and rest the injuries for the Dance.
— Más Tequila (@JoRy_MaMa) March 15, 2024
Love this mindset, too
Jim. WE. WANT. PURDUE
— Dariq Whitehead Fan Club (@DariqWhiteFan) March 15, 2024
Pressure's off, indeed
Playin with house money now. No Chuckie. Team effort with contributions from everyone as Storr leads the charge on both ends. True B1G game as everyone brought the muscle and will need rest. Pressure all on Purdue
— mike kerry (@BadgerMike) March 15, 2024
Again, I don't hate this mindset
Slightly worried about the knocks wahl and Blackwell picked up. Don’t care about Purdue game, need them ready for the big show as soon as Thursday
— Sconisun (@sconisun) March 15, 2024
Legit indeed
Gard’s best game of the year. Big Steve looks great. Kamari McGee huge off the bench. They look like a legit team again.
