'For a lot of these guys, it's the first time being the guy (and) not sitting down by the water cooler at the end of the bench,'Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard TheBadgerNation with Takeaways from Wisconsin's 43-42 Win Over Dayton:
Benjamin Worgull has covered Wisconsin football and basketball since 2004. Follow him on Twitter at @TheBadgerNation’s face at the podium following Wisconsin’s 43-42 victory could have multiple adjectives attached to it: relief, bewilderment, frustration, and appreciation all come to mind. It was probably a little bit of everything as the Badgers piece together just enough to beat a Dayton team that has all the makings of an NCAA Tournament squad come March.
In retrospect, the Badgers won the game over the final 10 minutes of the first half , misses on 13 of their 14 field goal attempts and four turnovers), and on their final defensive possession. “Really just trusting the preparation and what we had prepared for,” Klesmit said of the final possession. “I knew that some of their stuff they like to go to slide-out screens and get their guards going to their strong hand. to sit on that the best that I could and guard without following.
“We knew this was going to be a battle,” Gard said. “Just proud of our guys, how they continue to find a way. It wasn’t always pretty, as aesthetic as we wanted it to be on the offensive end, but defensively this group is continuing to show and grow and develop some grit, some toughness, and making timely plays that at times don’t show up on the stat sheet that helping have success in games.”
