Wisconsin still needs a pair of victories on Minnesota and Penn State To get a double-Bye in the Big Ten tournament. More importantly, he may need a few more solid results to solidify his place as seeded in the next NCAA tournament.

On the impressive performance of the state of Michigan

“A kind of strange game, with (max) Klesmit out and (Jase) Richardson did not barely play for us in the first half. We were not very offensive in the first half. Akins Credit, not to have found his shot, but he did a good job on (John) Tonje who is a player of the year in our league.

And (Greg) Gard is one of the best coaches in our league. They played well most of the time. I do not know if we wear them a little at the end or not, they played a lot of people, but not as much as we do. We found a way to get a big victory in the section … a big victory. The crowd was very useful for us, as they are always … We are fighting a very, very, very good and very well trained team. They will race in the tournament for sure. “”

On the defense of the Wisconsin without Max Klesmit

“There were certain things that the Wisconsin made us think we had to take away. I think for the most part, we did. As I said, I really like this team. I do not make bone on this subject, (max) Klesmit is a hell of a player and not doing it probably. Game, and I am sure when I speak to (Greg), he doesn’t complain about that.

On the domination of the state of Michigan over the glass

“(Jaxon) Kohler almost did it with 16 rebounds. You know, when you have other guys, Jaden Akins obtains eight years, Jase Richardson is not playing as many minutes and we are five years old, here (Carson Cooper) obtains four, Frankie Fidler gets six. Wisconsin, you work on different things.

On the challenge of dealing with the new badgers of Greg Gard

“I give a lot of credit to Greg Gard. Not only has he adjusted his team, and most of these guys are at home. But he also adjusted his style. I mean, they chased us out early. Their fast break really did a good job against us to change something they had done forever.”
