Quotes

Brad Davison had this to say about Iowa State's defense...

They definitely pride themself on the defensive end of the ball with toughness, ball pressure, picking you up kind of at the halfcourt line, trying to keep you to one side, trying to force you to the baseline. So we faced a lot of different teams that play a lot of different styles, so we're looking forward to the challenge.

Johnny Davis speaking about the Wisconsin basketball program...

I'm not going to lie, growing up, I didn't really watch too much Wisconsin basketball, wasn't really a fan. But now that I've been here, it's just a really great program. Especially the coaching staff and the teammates that I have with me, I'm really happy that I decided to come here.

Head coach Greg Gard on utilizing three bigs on the floor at one time against Colgate...

Yeah, I mean, I basically did that in two instances. I had Tyler at the three and I think Johnny was resting at one point in time. I had Johnny at the two at another point in time. Tyler's done a little bit of that for us throughout the year of sliding over to the three. I think obviously his versatility at the four, to be able to do specifically defensively has been a huge attribute for us, but that's something that makes us bigger, there's no doubt. Changes us a little bit offensively, but something, again, time and just -- it's an in-game feel and an in-game need that I wanted to go to, and Tyler did a good job of sliding over there at that time.

Articles to get you ready

Wisconsin is 25-7 this year and has actually shot a worse FG% and 3P% than their opponents overall.

Their ability to limit turnovers and get to the FT line has been outstanding, and last night the #Badgers only turned it over 5 times against and scored 15 points off turnovers.
