Badgers fans take to Twitter to weigh in on Wisconsin's rout of Louisville Cardinals
Wisconsin State Journal reporter Jim Polzin asked Badgers fans on Twitter what they thought of No. 12 Wisconsin's 85-48 victory over the No. 23 Louisville Cardinals in an ACC/Big Ten Challenge matchup Saturday at the Kohl Center in Madison.
Here's what fans were saying after the Badgers completed their non-conference slate with a victory:
They're not the ONLY ones
This TOTALLY makes up for Madison West's Reece Gaines going to Louisville! Of course, only @JimPolzinWSJ @TomOatesWSJ & @RobSchultzWSJ, who has a parking spot in front of the Gaines house named in his honor, are old enough to remember THAT reference! pic.twitter.com/bc8hMW4gGO

Looking for a fight
I wish we could have played L’ville at full strength. Not sure if we learned much, but it’s good to go into conference on a high note.

Come on, Coach!
A damning indictment of Gard that he doesn't deploy the "shoot 64% from three" strategy more often.

Depth squad
Any game have 8 guys that can hurt you. I liked seeing Hedstrom and Crawl get good experience and they looked good

Best of the bunch
By far the best Bucky has played all year! Very impressive on both ends!
— Gary Brilowski (@gbrilo) December 19, 2020
Right on!
Excellent switching on defense. Johnny Davis is excellent!

Looking good
Can they wear these uniforms forever? 😆

A day at a time
It’s gonna be so fun to see these guys cut down the nets

Set up for success
The present and future both look good

Familiar formula
The chemistry is back. Go Badgers 😷😎

Dressing the part
Must of been the new uni’s.

Above and beyond
Best they have looked this year by far

Don't change a thing
Keep the new uniforms!

Torching the competition
When they hit 3's like this, they cannot be beat.

Closeout special
It was nice to see them finish a team, albeit and undermanned team, in the second half. That defense played for 40 minutes today and it showed....looking forward to the Big Ten.
— Shane (@MadtownShane) December 19, 2020
Wink, wink
Didn’t make enough threes
— Casey Grimme (@Grimme_McNabb) December 19, 2020
But seriously though
Best team ever
— aarondentz (@aarondentz) December 19, 2020
Running on empty
They were missing multiple key players including their leading scorer. I think Wisconsin still wins going away but I’m not sure many teams would’ve had a chance today with how Wisconsin shot it from 3

Not even to wash?
Never take those jerseys off
— Brett (@steelebrett412) December 19, 2020
That's odd
Ya love to see it! But why isn't the "r" on their jerseys cursive too?!?!
— tbuchner (@OnWisconsin07) December 19, 2020
Enough said
Shooting #Wow

The real deal
We are LEGIT
— FEED PHILLIP LINDSAY (@FeedPhillip) December 19, 2020
Fair question
Where was this team last week?
— LordBuckethead (@emmabean2000moj) December 19, 2020
Don't look away
👀

Without a doubt
— gospeedracergo (@bdgrdoc) December 19, 2020
From start to finish
Dominant
— Coach Riley (@OLCoachRiley) December 19, 2020
It's just what they do
The team will keep getting better like they do every single year. The depth and experience is going to make them hard to beat especially later in the the season
