The resurrection of posting up

I got to watch Wisconsin play Michigan State this past week. It was refreshing. Ethan Happ is one of the best players in the country, and he is utterly without a perimeter game. So, the Badger's first option on offense is to get the ball to him in the low block, and let him go to work. And he does indeed know how work down low. His footwork is textbook, and he makes shots from every angle. It was really nice to see a team in this era who thinks "post up" first instead of "jack it up."
