The Badgers kicked the snot out of Indiana at the Kohl Center 72-54 last night in a huge win for a team that was in desperate need of one. The defense came back with Indiana held to 29.2% FG shooting for the game. Indiana was on a skid themselves losing 3 of thier last 4, so the Badgers caught them at a good time. Tucker and Nixon provided almost all the offense the Badgers needed and Gullikson was huge off the bench with 7 pts and 7 rebs. Butch was brought off the bench with Bo going with a smaller lineup that worked wonders. I hope Butch caught the message that he needs to step it up and be more physical. Hopefully they can use this win to launch into a late-season winning surge. But I'm not sold on this Jekyll and Hyde team yet.
The Bucks needed 2 OT to take care of the Orlando Magic 94-89 at the Bradley Center. The Bucks went with a small lineup for both OTs and bench players Charlie Bell (10 pts) and Gadzuric (17 pts) stepped up big from the bench. Both Simmons and Redd were outstanding in both OTs, with getting key rebounds. The oddest line of the night: Magloire had 18 rebounds and 1 point. If the Bucks keep winning, I'll take it. Redd and Ford both had key blocks in the OT periods and the Bucks played some good defense to earn the win.
