Congrats from a Badger Fan

I don't agree that you should rate teams based on NBA players. Having Beasley and Mayo didn't do much good for K State or USC, did it?

Wisconsin won 31 games this year, including one at Texas, and they did it without any stars, as you pointed out. How many other teams in the country can say that? There is no way I am disappointed in their season just because they lost tonight, they had a great year. No matter what their talent level, they play very well as a team and Ryan has a great system in place.

Overrated? That's for the media to decide, since they are the ones that hand out these rankings. Personally, I thought Wisconsin was a top 10 or top 12 team, but overrated at #4 or #6.

Simply put Bo Ryan is one of the best in the country.  Rating teams on NBA players is not a good system.  How  many NBA players does Davidson have?  Answer: 1. Texas maybe 2 maybe.  If T.J Ford has struggled what makes us think Augustine won't struggle also.  I was however surprised at Wisconsin's inability to get back and defend.  Davidson scored many points on easy transition baskets.  The huge 3 that Curry hit when the defender from Wisconsin whose name escapes me went flying through the air is certainly not what Ryan teaches.  I am tired of these guys trying to block 3's; it is bad basketball and rarely happens.  Close out and turn the guy into a dribbler.   Yes Curry is smooth and yes he might draw and kick but close out and defend don't leave your feet especially trying to block a 3.  The Badger fan is right.  they had a solid season and got beat by a better basketball team tonight.  Good to see a fan recongnize that.
