The Washington Huskies are a much better team than the Oregon Ducks, even with only eight guys available, and yet Wisconsin bowled right through the Huskies and struggled in a loss to Oregon. The Badgers are a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde team this year, and it all depends on their effort and hustle. If Wisconsin comes into a game flat, they can lose to anyone. If they come out with energy and fight, they can beat anyone.
Here's how they won against Washington:
1. Battle for 50/50 balls and energy through the roof
There was one play in particular where Wisconsin pulled down multiple offensive rebounds, tipped out one, and on a 50/50 ball Nick Boyd hustled to it and was able to throw it into Nolan Winter for the slam.
