Look, was losing to Michigan State what anyone wanted to see? Of course not, but it’s borderline impossible to win all your games in college basketball.

It’s insanely rare. So, I’m not going to sweat losing to the Spartans too much. They’re a good team, and I respect them.

All that matters now is how we bounce back. Conference play is all about stringing together big wins to build your tournament resume.

Right now, Wisconsin has a bunch of big wins, but I want more. I’m not going to worry too much about slipping in the rankings.

I’m only going to be concerned about how many more wins we can put together.

So, let’s go out Thursday and smash Nebraska. It’s the perfect time to get back on track!
