Mertz did not play well…but he battled. When pressured his feet get wonky…how does he overcome that?

It seems like Braelon Allen is slowing down, similar to last year at this time. Is it just the wear and tear of a season, injuries, scouting, etc. His size is negated when he runs tentative and there is a fine line between that and patience. Any insight you could share?

I’ve watched both Badger Men’s Basketball games. Is Max Klesmit starting because of his experience? I try hard not to get excited about freshman but Connor Essegian sure looks like a player.

Not pinning this question on any one player or head coach but Bucky is getting out scored 2 to 1 after halftime in BT games. Is this reflective of coaches not making the necessary half time adjustments? Anything that might help explain this??

Not sure to what extent this has been discussed, but the Badger football teams second half woes just won’t go away. What might be the main contributors: Poor halftime adjustments? Suboptimal Badgers strength and conditioning program? Other?

Would Gary Patterson be an option for next years coach?

How much does Jim Leonhard being mistaken for Taylor Mehlhaff on national television impact the hiring decision?

Is there ANY consideration of replacing Graham Mertz? With the way he is playing, is he still better than the best backup QB? And is his failure to live up to expectations his fault, Wisconsin's failure to develop him, or both?

Jim, why was Connor Essegian taking and sinking a transition three the most important development in Wisconsin sports this weekend? I’ll hang up and listen.

Put together your starting 5 of the Badgers MBB players who were the most fun to watch play (not the best ones, but the ones who gave the most enjoyable experience to watch).
— Craig Smith (@smithcp1) November 14, 2022
(Mine would be: Koenig, Penney, Bruesewitz or Wahl, Hayes, Kaminsky)
maybe this is an Open Jim question, but with all the quotes about playing unique venues who do I need to talk to in order to get a "retro night" basketball game at the Field House? @JimPolzinWSJ
