its only maddening because we deserved to win it. resume-wise, it's not going to be a big deal as long as we take care of business the rest of the way, and the performance we put up suggests we should

Wisconsin is a very good team, isn't it? They just lost to Duke in 2015 in the national title game. Frank Kaminsky is the backup C/PF at Hornets.

^^ yep. Overall impressed with this team's toughness so far. I would have liked to see a little more blake harris down the stretch as opposed to Braxton when Markell got gassed, but I will take a road effort like that any time.

Let's pump the brakes a bit on the comparisons between Daniels and Freeman.

Daniels actually plays decent defense. So even if he takes some bad shots, he isn't a zero on the other end like Freeman. He isn't a complete blackhole on offense either. Remember that two of his turnovers tonight were bullshit "charges" as he drove to the basket. The other bonus is that this year the team is much deeper offensively so when he gets out of control, Keatts has been yanking his playing time.

^^^Wiscy missed the tourney last year. They are better this year. They are not great. But solid, and rarely lose at home.

Daniels had the least questionable charge call. He extend his arm. It was a clear charge that should get called every single time.

tough that it ended in a loss but i'm still feeling pretty positive after that game

^^yeah you extend the arm like that and it should be called a foul every time. it infuriates me when that's not called an offensive foul when we're on defense
