Keys at the half...

The Good
Only 4 turnovers
Only 3 fouls
FG 40% from 2 pt
Forced 7 turnovers

The Bad
Shooting 35.5% overall
Happ has 12 points, but also 3 assists. Need to guard him bit watch the kickout or dump.
20 of UW's pts are in the paint, need to stop them down low.
Ruevers & Ford both have 8, need to keep them in check.

[IWB]

Need to drive to the hole more, can't go a whole game with Marcus being the only one to shoot free throws.

[IWB]

Have to double Happ in the post - noone can take him 1-on-1. Heldt does well on him in the paint, but when we go up top and hedge screens, he can't recover to stop him.

[IWB]

Good thing this isn't a big rivalry and means nothing to Wisconsin.

[IWB]

At 5:47 mark the rebounds are tied up at 27, MU protecting the ball with only 6 turnovers while forcing 11.

MU on 11-4 run

[IWB]

Coming into this game Davison was leading the Big 10 ib free throw shooting at 90%, he's now 0-3 tonight.

[IWB]

Marcus got hit on the drive and got hit again on the hand on the shot, but no way a ref anywhere is going to call either of those.

[IWB]

No question, Davison gave Joey an intentional shot to the nuts. BS move.

[IWB]

Thank God for Ed Morrow after Chartouney, Howard & Anim go 0-6 from line.
