If you want to be a Badger….
Then you also wanted to get kicked in the cherries tonight.
Ugh.
Trevon Hughes in the second half: 0-8 FG, 0 points, 0 assists.
Read that line again. It’s Shawn Respert-worthy. I know Trevon has made some big shots this season and he’s a tough kid who’ll probably bounce back, but that kind of a second half out of your senior PG is pretty pitiful. How many times did he drive to the hoop with his head down and wind up either flinging the ball off the backboard wildly or, as I remember one time, whipping a backwards pass to the referee? It was bad.
This loss stung, especially when coupled with Purdue’s win at Michigan State. Which meant UW would’ve been tied for first with the Boilermakers and the Crying Izzos with the most favorable remaining schedule of the three.
Instead, they’re now a game back of Chief Illiniwek, the Hacking Painters and Lupe’s Husband. Back of three teams sucks. As they say in golf, it’s not the number of shots you trail by, it’s the number of players…
Factor in the Bucks’ loss to the Pistons (Milwaukee’s 134th loss to Detroit in its last 135 tries), and it wasn’t a good night. Someone wanna explain to the Bucks that the Pistons are like 10-40 this season, not the perennial Eastern Conference power they used to be? Thank God I didn’t dig out of the snow and drive up to that game. I considered it.
Instead, I relieved my frutrations by bundling up and jogging in a blizzard. Seriously. I think I’m getting stir crazy, and sports didn’t help tonight.
