An he will be
Great win. Johnny dominant in the second half. And Juwan Howard should be suspended

Homegrown talent
Five #Badgers in double figures. Some programs don't recruit their #FabFive, they develop them.

Could this have been the blueprint for how to handle the mis-matches inside and get the balance they need for a successful next month-plus to the season?
Doing it their way
They listened, they learned. The best second 1/2 this season 4 the Badgers. They played the D like only they can play it and it worked big time. The whole team had a say in shooting 50% 4 the game. Fun game to see. Badgers, keep the chip and stay in control.

Spoiling the fun
Another slow pace victory by the Badgers. Can the media stop with this narrative. Game ends in a fight? So much for the memories of Michael Finley Day.

That escalated quickly
A solid win with an.....unexpected finish.

Past and present
It was Michael Finley's day, but it was showcase Sunday for Johnny Lottery. #ThankYou24

More please
Johnny was on again today. It just opens up so much for the others when that happens. It was good to see Neath playing well and Carlson got like 5 rebounds in a row second half. Offensive and Defensive boards changed for the better 2nd half. That needs to continue.

You're not alone
Was thinking this was just a really good win and then the last minute and postgame happened

Stealing their thunder
Great win by the Badgers but the incident with Howard after the game is going to overshadow everything. It will be national news. Howard has to be suspended.
— John Husmoe (@JohnHusmoe) February 20, 2022
How sweet it is
So happy to be dominating teams like Iowa, Michigan, and Indiana!!!! They had no remorse in running up scores on us back when we were struggling as a program, payback time B1G!!!

Time will tell
Howard needs to get set down for 3-5 games and be fined $30,000-$50,000. Game on CBS to boot. Big 10 must be heavily involved. NCAA won't and this can't be a regular occurrence. Players involved need to get suspended as well.#Stockpile

Hold up just a minute
3 seed. Oh, and Juwan is about to get another timeout he won't like.
— Robb Vogel (@RobbVogel) February 20, 2022
Leading by example
Only thing I’d add is to say I’m glad UW has Greg Gard as head coach. Juwan Howard was a great player but not so great a coach. He needs to do what a great coach like Tom Izzo did and take the blame for his failures and then apologize to Gard Krabbenhoft!

Upon closer inspection
I believe it was Neath that was one of the player that threw a punch along with 2 from Michigan so I image they will get a game suspension

Tale of two teams
Dominating second half by Bucky. Johnny was unstoppable and All of the guys stepped it up. One team is well coached and on the rise, and the other, well…

It's not nothing
Well outside of what happened after the game I thought goaltending is reviewable. Not of significance but that could be the difference in a win or loss

Giving it their all
Nice all-around win. Good hustle and Davis continues to amaze.

Can't stop, won't stop
Krabbenhoft still playing solid D for the Badgers!

Sky's the limit
Badgers can be as good as anyone when they are playing like a team

That’ll teach me to leave with a minute left in the game!

Blemish on a good game
It was a fantastic game especially 2nt half till the end. What a disgraceful display by Michigan coach but Badgers put on a real clinic that 2nt half. Hurray Badgers. So exciting to watch❤️

It's not how you start
2 an 3 star kids seem to be better coached then 4 and 5 star kids.
