Jim Rutledge & Molly Brown hold it down from Milwaukee ahead of a big night for Thanalysis Live at the Riverside Theater! They discuss their lingering feelings of disappointment in Badgers basketball after watching the first night of the Sweet 16, including THREE Big Ten teams advancing! Jim asks if Badgers fans are just too happy with regular-season success, are Wisconsin's expectations on par with the Brewers, and can Greg Gard achieve more if he had more financial support? They discuss the other Power conference programs that the Badgers should compare themselves too when considering basketball and football, and they ask today's Siding Unlimited poll question: Should the Badgers focus on investing more in Football or Men’s Basketball? Jason Wilde joins Jim & Molly to talk about Joe Thomas' comments on Wilde & Tausch that Jordan Love needs to demand more trust from Matt LaFleur, and they discuss whether Packers fans are asking their QB to be someone who he's not. Also, who will Love miss having the most -- Romeo Doubs, Rasheed Walker or Elgton Jenkins? They get more into the concerns about this uncertain offensive line and which direction the Packers should take at backup QB! They also ask Jason to vote in today's Siding Unlimited poll question -- Should the Badgers focus on investing more in Football or Men’s Basketball? -- but Jim asks (in his German dialect) why he won't JUST VOTE???

They also ask Evan on the spot to help brainstorm the best mottos/slogans for Wisconsin sports teams, including a conversation about why Giannis is playing with fire by trying to force the Bucks to let him play again this season.
