Wisconsin needs a big basketball win Wednesday night against Nicholls State.

The Badgers dropped out of the latest AP Poll after losing to Ohio State this past weekend, despite the fact that we’re 8-2. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Clearly, the voters and “experts” around the country don’t respect us at all.

I guess that means we’re going to have to change the perception, and our first chance to do that after losing to OSU is Wednesday night against the Colonels.

Should the game against Nicholls State be close at all? It absolutely shouldn’t be. Johnny Davis, Brad Davison, Tyler Wahl, Chucky Hepburn and Steven Crowl should be easily able to run the Colonels right off the floor.

We’re better across the board and will have the best player on the floor in Johnny Davis.

Yet, we play the game for a reason, and you’re a fool if you overlook anyone when it comes to college basketball.
