Wisconsin Badgers’ offense has been about as unpredictable as Wisconsin weather. Right now, it is 45 degrees the day before Christmas. A month ago, it was bitterly cold. This describes the Wisconsin Badgers to a tee at this point. They’ve been awesome at home and absolutely horrid on the road. For the fourth time in six games, Wisconsin scored 80+ in their gym, and away from the Kohl Center has yet to crack 70 points. If D’Mitrik Trice keeps up his great play maybe this will unpredictable Badgers team will figure themselves out.

Player of the Game: D’Mitirk Trice – If you asked a Badgers fan, is it a good thing or bad thing that Trice got red hot on Saturday? It is obviously good because Wisconsin is in desperate need of offense but Trice can get overconfident with his shot. Therefore, that is where it could be bad. Regardless, Trice scored a career-high 31 points with five 3-pointers and only two turnovers. UWM had zero answers for him.

Honorable Mention: Nate Reuvers – Want to know something weird about Nate Reuvers? He hit his career-high three different times. Reuvers scored 22 points on three different occasions in his last two seasons. He did against UWM and St. Mary’s this season and last year against Illinois. Reuvers knocked down two threes and had a couple of blocks to go along with his offensive day. The Reuvers and Trice combo would be a helluva one-two punch for Wisconsin.

Guess who’s back? – Micah Potter returned to Wisconsin after being on the bench for the first half of the season. Potter scored 12 points with five rebounds in 13 minutes. That’s pretty damn good for the first game of the season. He will get his sealegs and could be a key part of this team for the Big Ten season. I’m interested to see if Greg Gard will give him a starting spot as the year goes on.

Next up: Wisconsin will take their show on the road this Saturday to play Tennessee. This game could be a complete rock fight. Both defenses are very good. This is the last chance for Wisconsin to get another non-conference win on their resume. One thing that might favor Wisconsin is Tennessee has been a very bad three-point shooting team which is the one thing Wisconsin struggled to defend all year.
