Wisconsin

[themistocles]

You may recall that this fall, the Gators manhandled a pretty decent Wisconsin team in a way that made their coach say something like: they were quicker, faster, stronger and better.

Perhaps you don't recall, however, the a fellow who just got the SEC Player of the Week award (Scottie Wilbekin) was on suspension, and that another player who has been stellar most of the time this year, was nursing concussions (Casey Prather).

To me, the most amazing thing about this team is the way they respond to the situation, whether short-handed or long-handed.

I actually forgot that Wilby and Prather were out for that game. Hopefully Prather and EMurph's ribs can heal up and we can avoid any other major injuries before tournament time!

Wisky was without their starting PG in our game. They clearly aren't as deep as we are.

Marquette, another team that got manhandled by the Gators, is now in first place in the Big East.

They played with the same point guard as they are now. I assume you are referring to Gasser who tore his ACL before the year and will not play one minute this year.

Tied for 1st with Syracuse.

Meanwhile, Wisky is at 5-2 in the Big 10, and in a 3-way tie behind 6-1 Michigan and Indiana. Meanwhile, Middle Tennessee is 10-1 in the Sun Belt in first place, UCF is 4-1 in Conference USA behind 6-0 Southern Miss and 5-0 Memphis. Savannah St is 5-1 in the MEAC behind 7-0 Norfolk and 6-0 N.C. Central; FSU is tied for 5th in the ACC at 3-3, Arizona is 5-2 in the Pac 12, tied with Arizona State and behind Oregon 7-0 and UCLA 6-2; SE La is tied for 2nd in the Southland, 1 game behind Northwestern St., Kansas State is tied for 3rd in the Big 12 (4-2) behind 7-0 Kansas and 5-1 Baylor, Alabama State is 4-5 in the SWAC tied for 5th place, Air Force is 3-2 and tied for 3rd in the Mountain West behind New Mexico 4-1 and San Diego State 4-2; and Yale is 1-1 in the Ivy League with Harvard at 2-0 and Princeton at 1-0.

So, overall, that OOC schedule, at least right now, is looking pretty solid, with almost every team somewhere near the top.

That's right. Every player they have now was playing against Florida.
