The first question was about chasers.
That was the beautiful thing about Monday's press conference at Wisconsin.

"(A good chaser) is somebody who is willing to sacrifice their body," Flowers said. "Somebody who is very team oriented, somebody who is very athletic and just loves playing defense and wants to win."
Flowers went on like this for 49 seconds.
He mentioned ball pressure and all sorts of stuff.
And then Ryan was asked what he thinks makes a good chaser.
"Ginger ale."
Ha!
But a shot or two to calm the nerves probably wouldn't be a bad idea before Friday, I'm guessing, because mustering what it will take to deal with Curry one-on-one might require a little liquid courage given how the Davidson sophomore just dropped 40 on Gonzaga and 30 on Georgetown. Curry is a dynamic scorer, the story of college basketball's grand event.
Trying to figure out a way to stop him from putting the ball in the basket is starting to seem like an impossible task, right up there with trying to figure out a way to remain married to Pamela Anderson for any length of time.
Honestly, I kinda feel badly for Bo Ryan.
But I have a feeling he'll be OK.
