MADISON -- A day after the Wisconsin football program trounced Michigan State, the men's basketball program welcomed fans to the Kohl Center for its annual Red/White Scrimmage on Sunday.

BadgerBlitz.com breaks down a few takeaways from the outing.

The Ohio State transfer, once he's eligible come the Dec. 21 contest against the Milwaukee Panthers, likely will have an impact on the team.

A true disclaimer that the scrimmage was merely two 10-minute halves and teammates playing against each other, but the redshirt junior showed the ability to play strong inside while also having an outside game.

Potter finished the game with nine points and eight rebounds on 3-of-6 shooting (1-of-2 from three-point range) in nearly 17 minutes of play.

"He's obviously a big body. He's physical, and the biggest thing for me is he's a leader," redshirt junior forward Aleem Ford said after the scrimmage. "He's vocal, he has some experience under his belt so just having another presence like that is great."

One could spin it as a defensive battle against teammates with a program that prides itself on that side of court, but the team overall shot 15-of-55 from the field, 3-of-24 from three-point range. After the game when answering another question, Potter mentioned it had been the second day they had shot inside the Kohl Center "because the ice has always been down [for hockey], so our shooting percentage is really low."

The teams also combined for 16 turnovers in the two 10-minute "halves" (seven on the White team, nine on the Red team).

"The coaches are going to talk about that, but the biggest thing for me I'd say is fatigue, getting a little tired," Ford said about the turnovers. "This is the first time we've really gone up and down [the court] a lot like this, so as we get our legs under us, I feel like some of those turnovers will be limited."

Head coach Greg Gard knows that the turnovers will be an area needing improvement, but also called out a couple of other possible conditions for the play.

"Some of it is, is it our defense? Is it us not being used to playing with each other yet, trying to go too fast?," Gard said. "We had a couple of them in transition that we need to clean up. I mean, I'll take baskets in transition, but it's not the expense of turning the ball over that many times.

"We'll be alright. I mean in terms of that, I would expect for two weeks of practice, and we haven't done a ton of five-on-five, first time obviously with uniforms on and people in the crowd that there's going to be some sloppiness. That's what we work out over the next few weeks and play through the preseason with."

*The White team attempted seven times the amount of free throws than the Red team on Sunday. That squad made 11-of-14, compared to the latter's 2-for-2 performance.

*Though Ford shot just 1-of-9 overall from the field, including not hitting a three-pointer in five tries, he finished the game with a team-high 11 points. Many came from the aforementioned free throw line, where he made 9-of-10 attempts.

"Hopefully you guys saw it today," Potter said about Ford after the game. "What did he shoot, two three-point fouls, so he got like three free throws twice? But yeah, he's much more physical finishing it inside, shooting the ball, playing defense, so hopefully you guys saw a little bit of that today."

*As previously mentioned, the team shot poorly from deep. However, junior guard Brad Davison connected on 2-of-4 from three-point range (4-of-9 from the field overall) in leading the Red team in 10 points.

*For those wondering about true freshman Tyler Wahl, the 6-foot-7 forward scored two points and grabbed three rebounds for the Red team. He also had three fouls and a turnover. He does not look out of place on the team.

*Walt McGrory quietly had a solid performance based on the stat sheets. The guard scored two points, grabbed four rebounds, dished out two assists and stole the ball three times.

*According to a UW official, 4,009 fans watched the glorified practice.
