I'm starting to get goose bumps every time I watch a Badger basketball game these days. Are they really this good? Time and time again they just win. Bo Ryan seems to have this knack of knowing who will deliver each game and getting them in the right place to do just that. One game it's Kam Taylor, the next it's Brian Butch or Greg Steimsma. Always someone different on a team that consistently goes 8-9 deep.
Of course, there's always Alando Tucker, the pre-season Big 10 player of the year who's living up to every bit of that. I've never seen a guy that can take so many hits, hang in the air for longer than it takes most guys to jump twice and hit impossible shot after impossible shot.
And Bo, the man can just flat out coach, amazing he didn't get his shot till he was 53 years old. Rick Reilly at Sports Illustrated has a great article on Bo here.
21-1 and 17 straight wins with Indiana on deck Wednesday. Who knows where this crazy ride will take us but I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.
By the way, between football and basketball, Wisconsin is 32-2 so far. Anyone else come close to that? Florida is 30-3, no one else is close as far as I can tell. Add men's and women's NCAA hockey titles last year and you can see why Badger fans are as happy as a pig in shit around here.
