Just an FYI

Senior F Marcus Landry became the 33rd player in Wisconsin annals to crack the 1,000-point barrier when he nailed a turnaround jumper in the second half of the Badgers' Feb. 11 home win over Iowa. Landry owns 1,019 career points going into Thursday's game at Indiana, which is just three points from passing J.J. Weber for 31st place on the school's all-time list. Since joining the starting lineup for the Feb. 5 win over Illinois, sophomore F Jon Leuer has averaged 10.3 points and 5.7 rebounds in 27.5 minutes per game. Oddly, he has all but quit attempting 3-pointers in his new role. Leuer has gone 0-for-2 from beyond the arc in his four starts, but he went 11-for-37 in his 21 games coming off the bench. Remember when Wisconsin's defense was holding it back? During the Badgers six-game losing streak, they allowed at least 60 points in every game. But during their four-game winning streak, Wisconsin hasn't allowed more than 52 points

  1. Hopefully the winning streak and his productivity stays high because if they blow another game when their winning by 10 or more points this season I might pull my hair out.
