The Gophers, with a few occasional hiccups, were truly dominant basically from their inception all the way through the end of Bierman's first tenure (1941). Other than the 1961 and 1967 seasons, they've been more or less the same every year since 1941 - mediocre-to-poor. Since 1967, the Gophers have finished 3rd in the Big Ten three times. Of course, they've never finished 1st or 2nd in that time frame.

You might not realize it, but you've become Saint Bucky. Congrats. Fran , I totally agree. He looked gassed at the end of the game. The only thing to gain by playing him more than 25 26 minutes a game is to insure he will be totally burned out by March. MAybe next year, but he won't be able to cope with those minutes this season.

Time for him to pass a test. Not sure which one, Bergs or Brown, is underperforming more at this time..... Have heard that GB is having Alec Brown play from the perimeter more often. True? That makes little sense unless he's trying to prove something for "the next level." He lacks functional strength and simply cannot battle in the paint. Has shot the ball well from the perimiter in the past, but has not found his stroke this year. Foul trouble has limited his minutes and appears to be pressing. Has intrigued NBA scouts with his range, is a good passer and shot blocker (one man removed). I don't see him as the NBA prospect that many scouts do, but when you look at the lack of talent in recent NBA drafts, and his potential 3-5 years down the road (is very young for his class) who knows. Is a good kid and will work at it.

Again I ask. An extra 5 minutes every 4 days in December causes fatigue in March? He might hit a wall, but it would be because of other stuff, not actual game minutes.

Dekker is the best basketball player on this team. If he gets tired, give him a rest. He'll get in shape. I think Marshall may be the second best basketball player on this team. He just spent a year without playing a game and I think that matters. Give him some playing time and a little more leash to find his rhythm.

Dekker and Marshall may have the most talent, but to say Dekker is the best basketball player on the team is wrong, and anyone disagreeing is doing so to protect turf. Same for Marshall, but even more so.

I lean toward notstarting Dekker a) he gives an energy and offensive boost off the bench. b) rather have him fresh at the end of the game than than burn those 3-5 min at the start

Posts: 12813 December 12, 2012 9:54 AM I've paid for bottle service	Remove this ad Not starting your better players would always give you 'a' Regarding 'b' there are plenty of spots during the game to steal a few minutes of rest. In any case, once Bruiser is back, I presume Dekker will go back to 6th man, and as long as he gets 28-32 that will be the most important thing. Edited 1 time by Slimm21 December 12, 2012 9:59 AM.

Same for Marshall, but even more so. This is fair, for now. I guess my thing is they have the best feel for the game and show the most potential, but need to work (and confidence of the coach). I know that Bo isn't big on mistakes, and think that's great, but losing JT and Gasser has our back court in the fire. I'll gladly eat my words if our front line starts showing leadership and ability to control the game.

Gotta play better tonight. I like Brian and agree he has been doing good things up there, but they have had a very tough start to the season. Considering UWM's even worse start, and the shakiness that both UW and MU have displayed, this does not currently promise to be a halcyon year in Wisconsin D1 college basketball. Let's hope every team can smooth things out over the next couple months. - "What the heck; it's just life. It unfolds right in front of you." -- Bo Ryan

As a UWGB alum, I will say that I like Wardle as a recruiter. There's definitely some talent on that team. The problem is, they don't take care of the ball well at all and really aren't particularly special on the defensive end even though they have a good shot blocker in the middle. I want to believe GB will make a game of it, but my gut feeling is they'll probably be between 12 - 20 points down for a majority of the second half. I just don't think they're good enough to give the Badgers a game in the Kohl Center. As an aside, secretly... I wish GB would have hired Greg Gard instead of Wardle. But Wardle is who we've got and I'll hope he can turn things around from a shaky first couple years and start to this season.
