tOfficial Xmas Day home dog vs. the Badgers Game Thread

[Nordic]

Merry Xmas tSwillers.

Now why are we dogs at home to fucking Wisko? Fuck that. Beat their ass.

[kingstonlake]

BOOM. Badger Christmas ruined thread!

So the college kids have to play during a pandemic on Christmas Day?

Yeah it's not like they were allowed to go home.

So might as well get some free labor out of them, I guess. If they can't go home, they can certainly play basketball.

This disconnect between the risks that athletes are taking, and the rewards available to them, isn’t lost on current college players. The third-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes, for example, play Minnesota on Christmas Day. “We have to distance from the public and even our families to make money for our universities while we get no compensation for our labor,” Iowa point guard Jordan Bohannon told us. “It’s a disgrace and the NCAA has provided zero leadership.” The University of Michigan’s Isaiah Livers made a similar point in recent public comments; Michigan plays Nebraska on Christmas. “No knock against Nebraska but Christmas Day, I don’t think anyone wants to travel away from their place. That’s a different story we’re not gonna go into with college athletes not being paid.”

For sure

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Yes they should be paid.

I mean i will get paid when i hit betting on them

[Turtleneck]

Haha. Ok, back to the game thread. Sorry for the brief disruption.

Your points are spot on

[pulling69]

MSU is now -2.

[Nordic]

Run tempo, quick possessions, get as many shots up in 40 minutes. Let them limit their possessions they'll start missing.

[Nordic]

Like that!

[AvgMSUJoe]

I need a nap. Not sure I like this noon Christmas thing.

[AvgMSUJoe]

Just noticed green and red... No white uni.

Jolly yule

[aualum06]

Another 40 point half for the opponent

[aualum06]

Loyer baby

[Nordic]

Another 40 point half for the opponent

Better D than they've played in a while. Wisky making some shots. Still way to loose on 3pt D.

[aualum06]

Is this trices 10th season? He's approaching Brian Cardinal territory

It's unbelievable how many players returned this year in the BIG.

[aualum06]

The amount of cheap fouls uncalled on wisconsin is the same year after year

[Nordic]

Joey!

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Get loyer out of the fucking game and into the transfer portal

[kingstonlake]

Jeebus he’s a defensive liability. Izzo ain’t even mad about it. He knows.

[AvgMSUJoe]

Last 2 min have been ass

[Other Teams Pursuing That]

Game was lost when loyer was in the game

[Travis of the Cosmos]

Good try on the thread Nordic

[Nordic]

Guard play offense & defense has been a real problem. Rocket is lost at point, Langford is not Langford (he got abused today) and Loyer is Loyer. Gap year.

[Cameron]

We'll get 'em next time.

[Watch Out Pylon!]

Game was lost when loyer was in the game

Loyer played way too much in the 2nd half

Well Watts is a big problem that continues to get bigger and might end badly

[kingstonlake]

Yeah, this team has no point guard. I get Watts had 7a and 2to but it just seems so forced. Zero threat to take it to the basket.

Lot of bad shots. I like him and loyer together not sure if they played much together today

Wisky rolled into E.L. with an under 25 men's league team. Iowa is no different. The BIG is loaded. Multiple Final 4 level squads. We got some pieces, but got a lot of figuring out to do. The other teams are just better than us right now.

Nordic, happy holidays my friend.

The part in bold, seems like every year our squad hits a point in the season where they gotta improve and they always seem to turn it around towards the end. From what I've read Izzo was happy with how the team played...sometimes you just do things right and still lose the game.
