Glad to see Wiscy win tonight...

I think the chances are slim that they would have lost 2 in a row. Hopefully IU took one for us tonight.

All I want to see are Purdue wins...do that and leave the rest of the hapless B1G in the dust.

I know what your saying, but would much rather have the Badgers coming in off a big road win than thinking a win at Purdue was a must win.

UW in the Big Ten driver's seat now even with a loss at Mackey IMO.

We've always played well at the Kohl & we will need to steal a couple of big road wins along with taking care of business at home. 2 games in and it's still up for grabs IMO.

We don't play at Kohl this year.

Your right... didn't see that. Makes Sunday's game even more important for us.

Agreed it makes it very important. Can't have WI win two road games against title contenders. That would put them square in the drivers seat.

This. It may just be me, but it seems like we faced many of our opponents fresh off of a loss. Is there any statistical evidence proving that teams with relatively few losses tend to play better after a loss?

Good teams absolutely play better after a loss

It's not who you play it's when you play them.
Iowa last year as a good example.

Iowa was considered a good team last year halfway through the season. Then they lost. and lost again. and lost again. And now you can say that maxim doesn't apply because they weren't a good team. See the circular logic?

It's how you play.
