Weird game for UW. They seem to be playing pretty solid ball, but every time they got close, SM you would slash in for a bucket or hit a three. Wisconsin also seemed very interested in having good shooters spray open threes into the front row.
And then right at the end, they pulled it together and closed it out. Aided by actually hitting threes.
This team feels a little weird because it has a shocking amount of depth. By that I mean, basically every starter has a competent backup. It doesn’t seem like there is as much mixing and matching. There is a slight concern that both back up wings probably need more playing time, but there’s nowhere for it really to come from. Neither of them is strong enough to play a super small lineup. And the backup point guard has been shockingly solid of late, which means no need to play three of the wings at once.
