Joe Krabbenhoft isn’t perfect. He just seemed like it on Saturday.

Krabbenhoft was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field in the first half and is a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line this season.

Statistics like those made it easy for the Badgers to get past in-state rival University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 67-46.

On a day Wisconsin had little trouble with the Panthers, Krabbenhoft was either first or second on the team in every major individual statistical category.

Krabbenhoft either led or tied for the team lead in rebounds, assists and steals and was second on the team in points and blocks.

“Three assists, no turnovers, ten rebounds,” noted head coach Bo Ryan after the game. “That’s a pretty good line.”

The game against UW-Milwaukee marked the first game Krabbenhoft accounted for double digits in scoring.

“My teammates really did a great job of finding me down low,” said Krabbenhoft. “I had a height advantage over some of the guys guarding me. The point guards did a great job of calling plays to get me in the post, to get Marcus in the post and go to work down there. It was just easy buckets.”

They weren’t all easy, though. Krabbenhoft made two 3-point plays were he made a jump shot down low while being fouled and converted the ensuing free throw.

And as any Wisconsin basketball fan knows, Krabbenhoft’s biggest contribution to his team isn’t always through lighting up the scoreboard.

“I tried to get my hands on some offensive rebounds, which went my way,” said Krabbenhoft. “And I did my best job of putting it back up and trying to finish. I’m glad they dropped.”

Krabbenhoft’s effort resulted in his sixth career double double, but his play suggested there may be more of those to come.
