As much as I'm enjoying a 12-point lead at the half, we'd be absolutely cooked if Utah State could make even a reasonable percentage of open 3s. Counting on the other team to be cold is not a viable long term strategy.

Tbf they would also be cooking if we got some of these rebounds

If we get more of those and they hit their shoots at a higher clip, we’ll be fine

We would be up 20 if we could get a defensive rebound

I have noticed their 3s seemed rushed and off balance. Wisconsin was just making calm in rhythm 3s the whole game.

Plus they were wide open

Especially when they've shot well from deep throughout the year. Regression comes for us all.
