It was hard to believe the Badgers were kicking everyone to the curb the way they were. They had weaknesses, and if you looked at their national rankings on all things offense and defense, it didn't look good. Yet, they kept winning, and often winning over top programs.

They're a really good team, but inexperienced in most cases. Even guys like Davis, and Wahl, have had issues, along with Davison. Shut two of the three down and you've got a real shot at beating the Badgers.

No matter how it ends up, just the fact that they're really in the hunt for the Big 10 title, and on the cusp of another 20 win season, and I'm amazed to be honest.

From here on in, no matter what happens, it shows they're going to be a solid team next year, if Davis doesn't jump into the draft. If he does, I wonder how much his twin brother can bring to the court? He might be a little better than people imagine.

The kids that are redshirts are better than what the other Davis brings. That said maybe the analytics were right. NET Ranking and Kenpom had them in the 20 range all year

You're probably right, but I'm not quite into writing people off so easily. I think there's more talent there than you'd imagine. I see his development more along the lines of how Wahl has developed, not an instant star. He's going to get a shot at proving himself when they open the season next year, unless he goes portal, which could happen, because of the crap he's getting on campus about him being there because of his brother. Some students, and Badger fans, are pretty stupid.

Not disagreeing with you. I thought the KenPom numbers were low, I was probably wrong. Whal’s brother? Who’s his bro

I think they have been overrated as well. They can beat anyone, but can also find a way to lose to anyone. Never saw a season quite like this to be honest.

Probably. Not sure if the conference is also a bit oversold. Purdue escaped yesterday at home, MSU has been inconsistent also.
 
Teams recruiting to play against a Big 10 schedule, not a national schedule. It's just like they do in football.

Happens in each conference. You only play 8-9 out of conference games in the B1G and 20 in conference and in conference is where you get 90% of your quad 1 games so I get that. And in hoops you probably recruit more to system.
