Why Wisconsin’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day vs Oregon Shouldn’t Worry You
the second most Quad 1 wins in college basketball at nine.
3. This Streaking Team Has Both Talent And Grit
One of the most disappointing things that I observed after the game was how quickly fans seemed to forget about not only a season full of strong performances, including in late-game situations, against a Top 20 strength of schedule, but the absolute heater the squad has been on in February.
A 5-0 record including signature wins at Purdue and against Illinois (who the Badgers had not beaten since 2019) was no fluke and can’t simply be tossed aside after a clunker. Wisconsin is a Big Ten best 5-1 this month, as bad as Saturday felt on a micro level, in a macro sense this team is still hot.
So, let Saturday sting. It was an objectively rough game. But then start looking ahead to Washington and Michigan State, because you can be 100% certain that the team is.
