Sort of a weak preview, in my opinion, with not much analysis outside of the starters. Overall, I agree that 4th is about right in a pretty deep conference this year. Badgers always are right there even after losing a few key players.
One thing I wonder about is how they match up against bigger teams. Oddly, the Badgers should be smaller this year at least when you look at the key returners. Jackson, Brust, Gasser and Dekker are all solid to great players, but who will defend a rugged PF? Kaminsky showed promise but he's no Berggren. Will be interesting to see how they make paint dry this year... I mean... play this year.
One thing's for sure, I won't count them out of the Tournament and expect them to compete in the Big 10 just like every other season in Bo's tenure.
