OMAHA, Neb. — UWBadgers.com Senior Writer Mike Lucas offered his observations after No. 9 Wisconsin 79-67 loss against No. 22 Creighton at CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday night.

Get it straight from the source by following @LucasAtLarge on Twitter.

By doubling post Creighton took Happ (5 FGA) out of the offense & baited the Badgers into taking 2nd most 3-pointers (39) in school history
— Mike Lucas (@LucasAtLarge) November 16, 2016

Passing was crisp at times, especially getting out of the double & reversing the ball from one side of the floor to the other for good looks
— Mike Lucas (@LucasAtLarge) November 16, 2016

Fewer 3's (most coming late) & more dribble drives (drawing fouls) was a positive in the 2ndH. But nothing came easy: 0 transition points
— Mike Lucas (@LucasAtLarge) November 16, 2016

An early season road game vs a quality opponent (Bluejays are ascending post Doug McDermott era) can expose some shortcomings, all fixable
— Mike Lucas (@LucasAtLarge) November 16, 2016

Quickness triggered a 9-0 run over 52 seconds that broke open a 2-point game. How to stem such momentum with poise will be a teaching point
