SMH. Never trust a Gard-led team.

I think Wisconsin is the better team overall. Maryland hit every shot in the 2nd half, no way they’d repeat that performance on a neutral site

This team screams getting upset by a 12 seed in the first round of the NCAA Tournament…where have I seen that before oh wait just last season

Frustrating watch all around. Hopefully they bounce back Saturday

Yep. Predictable outcome because great coaching is all about making brilliant adjustments to keep your high-scoring machine clicking on all cylinders — which of course GG will never be able to do. It wasn’t obvious any kind of adjustment was made until we ran out of time. 1/2

Anytime the Wisconsin Badgers lose a basketball game, there is no doubt that there will be Greg Gard doubters. This has been going on for the last couple of years.
