Cheese League
True, UWM will likely be without a date to the Dance come March, but Bucky and Marquette are poised to once again place Wisconsin on the basketball map. The December 9th showdown at the Bradley Center looms large, especially on the heels of the Golden Eagles' victory over the Dukies last evening. Should the series revert to form, Bucky is in trouble as the home team has come to dominate. I'm hoping a sea of red invades the rafters of the Fortress on Fourth.
The close game against Delaware St. last night is not as concerning as it first appeared. The Hornets held the ball for the first 15 seconds of each shot clock, keeping them close in a reveral of Dean Smith's infamous four corner philosophy. The team is favored to win their league despite their deceptive 1-4 record. Tucker took over in one 3.5 minute stretch, and Brian Butch showed improvement with a double-double. Any word on the absence of Stiemsma?

From the Big Ten Wonk, which confirms Shawn's analysis of the DSU game:
"Wisconsin beat Delaware State 64-52 last night in Madison. Don't be fooled by the (kind of) normal point total: there were only 49 possessions in this game, making it the slowest game involving a Big Ten team since at least 2003-04."
Delaware State is actually a solid team, they will be a 15 seed in March and give some team a hell of a game. Bucky has 3 big ones coming up against potential tourney teams as well. We'll know a lot about this team after the FSU game.
