A Wisconsin Basketball Play in 3 Acts:
1. Mac listens to message board experts, fires Gard
2. Super trendy mid major guy with an impressive recent March run is brought in. Experts call it "A+ hire"
3. Badgers make NCAA Tourney one time in next three years w two losing seasons
English
@barryisthedon HP for sure. I thought this team was built better for a run than the other teams. D was rough most of the year but I thought they were slowly improving last month of the year.

Which recent Wisconsin March Madness exit made you feel the worst after?
English
@Betroit02 @BadgerMBB There are coaches that have good regular seasons and make it to the 2nd weekend. 🤷🏻♂️
English
Badger fans be like “Another fluke loss in the first weekend of the tournament! Aw shucks!”

There is a 0.0% chance that Greg Gard is getting fired
He's going to reload with a really good portal class and run it back and probably be good in the Big Ten and likely not go as far in March as expected
English
@CollegeHoopsTIk Watch out for those Gard defenders! They’ll ratio you and say players are the ones taking the shots and regular season 5th place finishes are the best!

Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard has now been on the wrong side of double-digit upset four times.
2019: 72-54 loss to No. 12 Oregon
2022: 54-49 loss to No. 11 Iowa State
2024: 72-61 loss to No. 12 James Madison
2026: 83-82 loss to No. 12 High Point

@NICKWATTS__ He just hasn’t figured out how to get his teams up and ready for the tourney. Always sloppy. It’s okay to blame someone who makes $5M per year if they don’t deliver when it matters.
English
My last thing: I don’t think Greg Gard should be fired
But my God, spare me the “The committee should let Wisconsin play 16 seeds at the Kohl Center!” “WOW of course the SWAC champions are 90% from 3, we’re so unlucky!”
Millions of teams face the same adversity as Wisconsin, yet find a way to get it done
We don’t and that’s a problem

@ZachHeilprin @TheSwing_WI How is the OL looking in Spring Practice? Thoughts on inside linebackers? Who will emerge in Wisconsin’s secondary?

New episode of @TheSwing_WI coming. Send your #Badgers questions.

@InsideWisconsin Sit down and enjoy your regular season finish! Don’t complain about losing to 12 seeds all the time! You jerk!
English
Anyone who defends this is laughable

@MatthewMKE98 Definition of insanity is to expect anything else. I was insane
English
God damn I’m sick to my fucking stomach dude
Beat the shit out of Purdue, Michigan and Illinois
But they can’t handle High Point University
How many times is this team gonna come into March unprepared, because it’s becoming a constant thing
English
@ChiBadgPartDeux Badgers fans: How dare you blame a grown ass man who makes $4-$5M per year! Leave him alone!! Players need to make shots!
English
It'll be interesting to see which university I didn't know existed beats us in Round 1 next year.
You can't just replace Gard with whoever. He's a good coach who has had, and continues to have, a lot of success.
But with every passing year, it becomes harder to justify these performances as one-offs. This is probably a Greg Gard problem, and he needs to figure it out — or I'd make the switch if and when a clear-cut upgrade emerges who we're willing to pay.
English
@WhizzBang96 @InsideWisconsin They did not say that about Bo for years and years. 🙄
English
@AdamRKey @InsideWisconsin People said this about Bo for years and years. Gard is doing an incredible job. They were prepared and played well today. High Point made 15 3’s?? That’s on Gard? You’re a fucking idiot.
English
Yeah cant do this every March doesn’t matter the team, the style, the opponent, anything. Same story in March under Gard. Make the change idc.

@TheRealRedShed I enjoy the regular seasons. But I am without hope for deep runs. Of the teams we’ve had recently, this team was built better for a run.
English
@AdamRKey Enjoy the regular season.
Hope for deep runs.
Acknowledge there’s Madness in March.
English
@doe418737 @BadgerMBB I prefer to blame the leadership that makes $4-$5M per year.
English
@AdamRKey @BadgerMBB UW keeps this bozo fake-Head Coach only because it's politically correct to blame the players -- "yeah, they messed up...they missed a shot here & there", or whatever. GG is never held accountable. My bad: that would be politically incorrect, as well.
There's an echoo out here.
