Bucks still hunting for shooting guards

July 4, 2013 By Bill Scott

After Kyle Korver decided to stay in Atlanta and sign a 4-year contract with the Hawks, the Milwaukee Bucks are now setting their sights on free agent shooting guard O.J. Mayo.

The Bucks have already lost Mike Dunleavy and J.J. Redick in free agency and they’re trying desperately to add help at shooting guard.

The 25-year old Mayo averaged 15.3points a game for the Dallas Mavericks last season. [Read more…]

Badgers shoot their way out of the NCAA Tournament

March 22, 2013 By Bill Scott

It’s happened before, where the Wisconsin Badgers couldn’t throw the ball in the lake if they were standing right next to it.  They simply picked

the worst time of the year to do it again.

The Badgers, who made the Sweet 16 in each of the last two seasons, were knocked out of the 2013 tournament in the opening round, falling to Mississippi 57-46.

Many thought the Badgers had a favorable bracket and were headed for a deep run in the NCAA’s post-season, but the Rebels had other ideas.  Bo Ryan’s Badgers lost in their first tournament game for just the second time in his 12-seasons as head coach at Wisconsin.

Marshall Henderson scored 19 points and Murphy Holloway added 10 for Ole Miss.

Freshman Sam Dekker scored 14 points for Wisconsin, which hit just 8 of their 36 three-pointers (22.2%) and 15 of 59 shots overall (25.4%).

The Badgers got plenty of open looks, but they just couldn’t convert.  Wisconsin led 25-22 at halftime, but they were uncharacteristically sloppy with the ball.  Their 9-turnovers in the half matched their average for a game. [Read more…]

Badgers roll from start to finish

February 18, 2013 By Bill Scott

The 20th ranked Wisconsin Badgers entered Sunday’s Big Ten home game against

Ben Brust

Ben Brust

13th ranked Ohio State, shooting around 39% from the field in Big Ten games.  When Mike Bruesewitz stuck the opening jump shot of the game, it was the start of a 71-49 rout of the Buckeyes and a day that saw Bucky hit 52.7% of its field goals.

The Badgers jumped out early, going on a 18-0 run during a 5-minutes stretch of the first half to jump out and never look back.

As hot as the Badgers were, the Buckeyes were that cold.  They hit just 3 of their first 17 shots from the field. [Read more…]

Badgers battle Big Ten & themselves

January 25, 2013 By Bill Scott

The Wisconsin Badgers will try to end a 2-game Big Ten losing streak on Saturday

afternoon.  They’ll not only be battling the rival Minnesota Gophers, but themselves as well.

Consistency on offense has been a problem for the Badgers this season.  Especially at the free throw line where Wisconsin is at 61% for the season and 52% in the Big Ten, which ranks last.

Badger big man Jared Berggren said they certainly didn’t expect the free throw shooting slump to last this long.

Badgers poor shooting is costly

January 23, 2013 By Bill Scott

For the Wisconsin Badgers, there’s nothing free when it comes to free throws.  The

Mike Bruesewitz

Badgers are the worst free throw shooting team in the Big Ten Conference, hitting 7 of 18 last night in a 49-47 loss to 13th ranked Michigan State at the Kohl Center.

Throw in 29% shooting from the field and the Badgers couldn’t throw it in the ocean last night.

Even those that shoot it well, didn’t last night.  Jared Berggren entered the game last night, hitting nearly 76% of his free throws, but managed to make just 2 of 8 last night.

win their Big 10 Opener at the Kohl Center.

Wisconsin’s season long shooting slump continued for much of the game.  The Badgers shot 38% from the field, 17.6% from three-point range and 50% from the free throw line, yet still held off the Nittany Lions for their 10th win (10-4, 1-0) of the season.

Ryan Evans, Jared Berggren and Ben Brust all scored 13 points and Mike Bruesewitz added 12 for the Badgers. [Read more…]

Sophomore Frank Kaminsky scored a career high 16 points to lead the Badgers.  Ryan Evans, Sam Dekker and Jared Berggren also scored in double figures.

The Badgers open Big Ten play Thursday against Penn State.

Ben Brust finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds.  Jared Berggren had 19 points and 8 rebounds and Ryan Evans added 9 points and 9 rebounds for the Badgers.
