The stevenpoint native in his first year at marquette and his ideal gift would be to win against wisconsin on saturday but there is one thing that is to beat. What i have seen is one of the best teams in the United States. The very first thing you recognize is their winning experience. The one thing that stuck out that i didnt know until i started diving into it is how well they are rebounding the ball. They have been monsters on the backboard. As good as anyone in the country in that respect. These two teams have played every year except one since 1958. Last year the Golden Eagles beat the badgers but this year the badgers are more experienced than when they played marquette last year. It was unorganized and we didnt have an identity at the time. We held the ball and a lot and didnt move the ball. I think we will be much better off this time around. We have been playing together for over a year now so i think we have our identity down.
