Bo knows basketball: Ryan has Wisconsin racking up wins

Presented by Epson

The first question was about chasers.

That was the beautiful thing about Monday's press conference at Wisconsin.

Bo Ryan plopped down at a table inside the Kohl Center, Michael Flowers and Brian Butch just to his right. Then the cue was given. And the question came. And Flowers started explaining what makes a good chaser on defense -- worth noting because the Badgers are about to take their shot at containing Stephen Curry, Davidson's superhuman guard who is averaging 35 points through two games of this NCAA tournament

"(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.
