The Badgers are leading Florida A&M 58-19. I realize these are lower level D-1 teams that UW is beating, but these magnitude of demolitions cannot be ignored. The swing offense isn't set up in a way run away with games, so it makes this all the more impressive.
Sophomore Trevon Hughes has been the most pivotal factor in the "surprising" impressive start for the Badgers this season. I called that he'd be special when he committed to Wisconsin over 2 years ago. He had a Dwyane Wade-esque ability to get wherever he wanted on the court. Not saying that's he's quite that level of player, but he's very good. About 3-4 inches shorter than Wade. However, has a better handle. Similar court vision. Makes plays for his teammates. Wreaks havoc in the passing lanes. Hounds guard on the ball. Athletic...especially with his feet on the ground. Pretty good mid range jumper, but can't stretch the defense persay. The majority of Badger fans at Scout had him rated as our best player prior to the season, and I concurred. 20+ points each of his first two games.
Other x-factors are: Stiemsma, Krabbenhoft, and Butch. Stiemsma will simply be more productive because he's a senior. Bo has a propensity to play seniors more because he stays loyal to the players who've stayed loyal to him. Stiemsma needed more leash in the past to not get yanked every time he fouled, because his biggest asset is aggressively patrolling the lane. Krabbenhoft is more assertive because it's a necessity. He was a 5-star player as a prospect. Butch is another 5-star of course who is fully recovered from his injury, and he's somewhat transformed the "yucky body".
My only real concern is shooting from the outside consistently. Flowers is a little bit lacking in that area too. Bohannon is a sniper, but he's small, lacks quicks, has a slow delivery, and it's released from low on his head. Butch will be one of the most important players for Bucky again with his ability to draw bigs out of the paint. The Badgers collapsed without him in '06-'07.
The Badgers don't lack potential as was claimed in the other thread. UW has as good of a shot as any in a very open big ten this season.

They pulled it out by 3...
Overall they are still very prone for an upset, until they start playing better as a team, but they have a very solid core...
