[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1030332, member: 17953"] The game, against Purdue, was the game the Badgers have needed to play since the season started. For a while, they played smash-mouth basketball and were winning. Then Gard changed their direction and they became a "finesse team," and let's be honest, that's not their game. For the first time that I can recall for quite some time, they have several players who cut their teeth not only in high school ball, but pick-up playground ball at the local rec centers, or parks, around cities, where basketball is probably the best recreation available to them. It's a game played where there's no such thing as a foul, unless you draw blood. You learn fast to dish it out, knowing your going to get it, and you play more physical. Now, if the officials handling the game between Illinois and Wisconsin better, and allow the Badgers to bang with them today, it should be a great game. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I think Gard is doing all the things he needs to do, at this point, to save his job. A win today and another win or two in the NCAA tourney and I think he's going to get a contract extension of one or two years. Next year might not be as good. I see Storr going to the NBA. Despite saying he's staying, I have doubts that Essegian will be a Badger next year, and we might see Blackwell hitting the portal, as well as a couple of others, including Winter, who could end up with the Gophers. Above all, there will be some missing pieces after this year is over, and I don't think Gard has recruited players to replace them. At least, not yet. [/QUOTE]
