Up next, a crete of Badgers

November 27, 2014 - Biologists indicate Badgers clan together in crete's, and live play and groom one another in setts. Interestingly enough they forage/hunt individually. Head coach John Thompson III and his Hoyas likely hope the Wisconsin Badgers are solo artists, but they aren't; the second or third ranked team nationally depending on poll battle as a team. Georgetown, unranked and coming off a hard fought, overtime victory over Florida last night in Battle 4 Atlantis play, will surely be tested today.

The Wisconsin game, a Battle 4 Atlantis semifinal contest televised by ESPN with a radio broadcast by Rich Chvotkin on ESPN, has a listed 3:00p start. Visit our real time, in-game chat on Premium Court. It's an excellent alternative or companion option for typical broadcast venues.

Wisconsin (5-0), enters today's game after blasting UAB 72-43. Head Badger Bo Ryan expects a lot of his team, telling the AP afterward "no matter what the final score is, each possession to us is important, teammates cheering for teammates, it's still a game and it's still fun to compete".

UW doubled the Blazers in assists (14-7), with sophomore Nigel Hayes leading the game by distributing four helpers. Senior forward/center Frank Kaminsky lead Wisconsin with 16 points, while senior forward Duje Dukan logged 10 points. Another double figure scoring Badger was senior guard Josh Gasser.

Last night the Badgers demonstrated a patient offensive attack that never was sped up, one marked by a willingness to share the ball. A huge team, Wisconsin has no player listed under 6'2", with Kaminsky standing 7'0, Dukan being 6'10", junior forward Sam Dekker looming around 6'9", Hayes listed at 6'8" and senior point guard Traevon Jackson standing a strong 6'3" along with the 6'4" Gasser.

How can the Hoyas, who start 6'10" senior center Joshua Smith and classmate 6'9" forward Mikael Hopkins, then bring 6'8" frosh forwards Paul White and Isaac Copeland off the pine combat such size? What advantages does Georgetown have?

These and other observations are available on Premium Court. Suffice to say quickness and depth, along with pace could be keys to the game.
