Badgers fans on Twitter weigh in on Wisconsin's blowout of Rider in final non-conference game
Wisconsin State Journal reporter Jim Polzin asked Badgers fans on Twitter what they thought of Wisconsin's 65-37 win over Rider on Tuesday night at the Kohl Center in Madison.
Here's what fans were saying after the Badgers closed their non-conference schedule with three straight wins:
Finding their focus
First half looked like a team coming off a big win and thinking ahead to OSU on Friday. Happy to see them play well in second half. Bring on the Buckeyes!!

Lighten up
Win, lose or draw this thread is pure entertainment every time! Best decade of WI BB ever, smile people!
— Brian Clifford (@brcliffo) January 1, 2020
Frustratingly inconsistent
Weird team. Each player in the top 8 deep show as really really good players and really really bad players. Trice, King, Brevin especially are so wildly inconsistent. Is what it is.

Hang in there
Hard to watch!

It gets better
Second half was fun

Here's to hoping
Held Tennessee under 50 and now Rider under 40. Hoping this is a good sign when B1G sked resumes. #BigD

Don't get carried away
Relax...... It was Rider

Keeping a low profile
Rider’s shot selection was rather interesting. Meanwhile, has anyone seen Kobe King?

To each their own
Always people like you. Duke lost to sf austin at home. Appreciate a win instead of complaining it doesn’t matter

Ready for the B1G time
No complaining about a win, just not going to get excited about it.

Good change of pace
Love to see 43 scored in the second half, much quicker decisions made on offense.
— Cory Reetz (@Reetzy26) January 1, 2020
Practice makes perfect
Nice scrimmage
— Fred Ehle (@FredEhle) January 1, 2020
It's not about the opponent
Great team win! Always great to watch Wisconsin basketball!

Time to pick it up
Slow starts are trends. That won’t fly in the Big 10. #PickUpTheStart
