      As an MSU fan, I am wondering why Dekker only got 13 minutes? Especially with the poor shooting across the board I thought UW could really have used a better shooter and more athletic player out there. I'm guessing Bo didn't think he could D up Dawson or Harris?

      I would imagine that was Bo's thought. Not that I necessarily agree with it. I thought at that point you needed to get another threat on the floor. Evans was just having a brutal game, but with the way he defends and boards Bo's just going to have him out there in crunch time. At least he hit the huge 3 to give us a chance, but with the way we're shooting at the line I think most of us Badger fans didn't have a whole lot of faith a freshman would be able to step up in that kind of a pressure situation.

      I was shocked he wasn't in during the last few possessions. But then again, Evans hit that 3, but he's the most dynamic offensive player UW has. Why wouldn't Dekker be in?

      Totally agree. Granted, even when Dekker was in there in the second half not much happened, but the whole offense got into that seeming every game stagnant stretch.

    • Even if Dekker isn't scoring, he's different in the sense the defense has to worry about him. He impacts a game whether he's stuffing a stat sheet or not.

    • Everyone is talking about Sam at the end of the game and how he should have been in there but I want to look at how his horrible play effected the entire rest of the half. His stupid....yes stupid offensive foul that picked up his 2nd foul early and killed the rotation and sam was coming off of that great 3 pointer.
      Also was showalter sick or did he do something horrible in practice this week because he got no game time?

      It's a give-take with Dekker right now. On one hand, he's got the skills nobody on this roster has. On the other, he can make dumb freshman mistakes.

      I think you give the seniors a few more games and if they don't start coming through, you turn the team over to Jackson/Marshall/Dekker and let them go, while living with the mistakes and bumps that come with it.

    • I am a Sam fan and was so pissed when he made that stupid fould because every damn time Evans shot the ball and missed I had to remind myself that Bo couldn't bring Sam back.
      Also glad didn't jump on jackson bandwagon after indiana game because he has been horrible.
