Badgers fans have plenty to say on Twitter after Wisconsin's loss to Ohio State Buckeyes
Wisconsin State Journal reporter Jim Polzin was flooded with responses after asking Badgers fans on Twitter what they thought of No. 10 Wisconsin's 74-62 loss to the No. 15 Ohio State Buckeyes in a Big Ten battle Saturday at the Kohl Center in Madison.
Here's what fans were saying after the Badgers fell to 6-3 in conference play:
Slow it down
Stop bombing 3s early in the shot clock. What happened to making more free throws than the opponent attempts?

Anything is possible
Said the same thing this time last year. Then this team got hot down the stretch. Same thing could happen this year. Must play well to win in this league

Recipe for disaster
Can’t win when you’re not making FT’s & shooting 7-28 from 3pt. Just a really bad day at the office. This team needs a great shooting night & hopefully that will be against Maryland. Badgers are still a Top 4 team in the Big 10 & Top 15 in the Nation. They’ll be ok. On Wisconsin!

Right to the point

Fair enough
If the Packers win tomorrow, I don’t care what happened today. If the Packers lose tomorrow, I’ll be very sad about today 😂

Rough road ahead
Reminds me of mid-season last year - they were so frustrating, and then they caught fire. Hoping for that again, but I dunno... B1G seems tougher top-to-bottom this year.

Too slow out of the gate
Why not press earlier in the game when we need something? Another terrible start with low energy and no answer to it in second half.

Nobody said it was easy
This is a good team, but they have limitations. Being so senior heavy is an advantage come tournament time but I think this is a team that could also get bounced early just because of their inability to consistently score at a high clip. The B1G is also ridiculously good 🤷♂️

Coming alive late
Didn’t handle the Buckeyes small-ball lineup very well. Didn’t shoot the ball well at all. Still cut it to a 4 point game at the under-4 timeout. The effort and heart was there in the second half but just didn’t have much on either end tonight.

No argument here
I just can’t read this thread after losses. The fire Gard brigade come out of their holes spouting ignorance. My guess is these are the same people demanding that Bo get replaced up until 2014.

How cruel it is
The three point line giveth, the three point line taketh away.
— Joel Schneider (@joelschneider25) January 23, 2021
Missed opportunities
So obviously too much love for the 3-pointer but at the end Trice missed two foul shots and had 2 unforced turnovers. Also, we had no defensive answer to Liddel today.
— David Koller (@DavidBKoller) January 23, 2021
The best!
To be fair though, they would be a great company rec league team.

Laundry list of complaints
We can’t let them shoot 50%
— chuckwestover (@chuckwestover) January 24, 2021
Way too many 3s were shot before Ford got hot
Davison sucked, Wahl had foul trouble
Nice to see Reuvers with a pulse but he also threw up some nasty bricks
Needed a bigger game from Potter
Trice kind of fell apart at the end, which was unusual
Keeping it simple
Sluggish start. Poor defense. Sloppy shooting. Think that covers it.

It's just a number
For a team older than the Bulls they sure look disconnected on both ends of the court way too often
— Phil (@pshackto) January 23, 2021
Lost in the clouds
Team looks too disinterested in a lot games.
— Mark Tomaszewski (@MarkIsOld) January 23, 2021
That's what you get
Offense not pretty. They’re a 3 point shooting team. Nothing to be run inside. And when the 3s don’t fall, this is the result
— Ron N. (@RonFiki) January 23, 2021
Sure is
Tough to win a game when you can’t make a basket from anywhere
— Fred Ehle (@FredEhle) January 23, 2021
You're not alone
Just annoyed more than anything
— Ken Chia, some guy online (@kcchia80) January 23, 2021
Out-hustled
OSU was dialed in from the start, could never take the lead.
— Kurt Sagendorph (@ksagendo) January 23, 2021
It's not over yet
It’s this years big ten. Just peak at the right time. They have the talent.

It has happened before
Sometimes one team shoots well and the other shoots poorly.

Stiff competition
Its the Big 10 in 2020-2021 everybody is good.

Before the circumstances of this weird season can help UW, however, UW has to start helping itself.
