Jim Rutledge holds it down with Alex Gravatt while Matt Hamilton is away for the week curling at the mixed doubles curling national championship. They recap a pretty busy sports weekend without football, first getting into their reactions to the lackluster NBA All-Star weekend and what needs to be improved. Then, they get into a HUGE win for Badger Men's Basketball team who took down #7 Purdue at Mackey Arena on Saturday! They size up how far this electric 2024-25 squad could go, but Jim wants to pump the brakes on some people's comps to the 2014-15 team that went to the national championship... They ask today's first Siding Unlimited poll question: Is this the best Badgers basketball team since the 2015 national runner-ups, and is this the best team Greg Gard has fielded during his time as UW's HC? How did Matt Lepay compare/contrast the two squads while on Wilde & Tausch this morning, and why was Brad Davison's era the "lowpoint" of Gard's tenure, according to Jim? They finish up Hour 1 talking about their favorite moments from last night's SNL 50th anniversary special, and they ask their second Siding Unlimited poll question: Who is your all-time favorite SNL character (not actor, but CHARACTER)?
