Midnight (err..Early Evening) Madness

The 2007-2008 Wisconsin Mens' Basketball team kicked off its campaign tonight with a "Night of the Grateful Dead." With Alando Tucker, Kammron Taylor and Jason Chappel having graduated from last season's record breaking team, Coach Ryan's motto of "NEXT" is appropriate.

This is not to say that the accomplishments of last year's senior class should be dismissed or forgotten. However, in order for the program to continue to strive, the team must move on and returning players must step up.

I am looking for Marcus Landry (winner of tonight's slam dunk) and Tim Jarmusz (winner of the three-point contest) to be the team's best player and best newcomer.

Jarmusz displayed a sweet stroke tonight, and his ability to knock down 3s should open up the floor and be a nice complement to J-Bo.

Uhhhh, who is Tim Jarmusz?

As always, I am a bit more optimistic about this team than others are. I still like them in the top 3-4 in conference and well ahead of the pink-clad Illini.

Hey, and Hockey smacked Notre Dame!

Scout.com says he is a "slender perimeter forward with a strong stroke. Comes from outstanding high school program with a reputation for winning."

Last year shot 64% from inside the arc and 50% outside of it.
