Beyond the Boxscore: Wisconsin 101, Ottawa 92

Now that was more fun to watch.

After another somewhat slow start, the Badgers used a big run at the end of the first half, and a quick start to the second to knock off the Ottawa Gee Gees 101-92. The win moved Wisconsin to 1-1 on the Canada trip as the Badgers take tomorrow off before games on three consecutive days.

Again, the Badgers showed that they are going to be playing a different brand of basketball this year, and that?s not a bad thing. While the team may run a little more, there is no way a Bo Ryan coached team will play undisciplined, as he won?t allow it. Wisconsin will still work the shot clock to get a good shot, just expect more creative play from the guards as that?s how the team is shaping up to play.

While the offensive side looked strong tonight, the defense still needs some work. Ottawa could really shoot from the outside, but the Gee Gees were getting too many open looks. Most NCAA teams will hit open threes if given, so that needs to shore up.
