Open Jim: What is Wisconsin men's basketball's path to the NCAA Tournament?

Do you find it more promising that the Badgers are in mostly every game or more concerning that they can’t finish most of them?

When Johnny Davis went pro early & was drafted #10, most Badger fans thought that was great for Coach Gard because it showed he could take a talent, develop it, win w/it, & help them get drafted. But was Johnny going pro actually bad for Gard?

Let’s have a smidgen of optimism: which Badgers basketball recruit are you most excited to see in the next couple of years?

So 4 games to go . Short of winning all 4 , or even 3 of 4, does Badgers' chances for a tournament invite come down to doing surprisingly well in Big Ten Tournament ?

Do you realistically see the Badgers making the tourney?

I have a take and a question. My take on the 3 types of @BadgerMBB fans:
1. Nothing matters but NCAA Tourney. 1st round exits = fire everybody
2. We’ll never win a natty so focus on #B1G titles
3. Just run a clean program and keep games entertaining (1/2)

Group 1 seems over-represented on Twitter. Group 2 seems to include many sports writers. Group 3 sits on their hands and makes dinner plans at the Kohl. My question: Which group do you fit into? More importantly, what about our new AD?

Will the canceled game in December cost them in the NCAA decision process?

If Johnny Davis doesn’t unexpectedly rocket to a lottery pick, so the Coach really can’t recruit for his spot, are the Badgers a top 5 in conference team?

Do you foresee any one leaving the UW basketball program? If so, who?

Who should we anticipate losing via the portal?

Without including regular season B1G championships, explain the difference between Paul Cryst and Greg Gard when it comes to success as a program.

Is Gard on the hot seat?

Why doesn’t the basketball team prioritize shooting when identifying recruits?

In your time around the program, where does the 22-23 MBB team rank on the list of "Most Maddening and Inconsistent" Badgers teams?

Have you had a chance to talk to any football players about how workouts have changed going to a new S&C coach? If so, what did they highlight as differences with the new regime?
