Not sure this is the year the Badgers should have the toughest OOC schedule in the league. Won't be any easier with the 2 other Hawaii games either. There are a lot of Badgers fans far more optimistic about this team then I am. 2 senior guards and a ton of questions.

The Arizona game in Maui is a big one for the Badgers. Am curious to see how that one turns out, as both teams appear to be not quite what they've been recently, but still good enough to get to the NCAA. Oakland and @ Green Bay could be tricky as well.
