Longest bounce pass for Hail Mary shot in basketball history.

[PGsHeroes32]

One of the best endings of the season. I’ve never seen a bounce pass for a prayer shot.

Yeah the bounce pass was crazy impressive. The two defenders then seemed way to afraid to foul and didnt contest at all.

But that pass and ending were great.

Which is dumb because they still had a foul to give. I wouldn’t put it past Penny to have failed to mention that in the huddle.

Props to the ref who called that foul on Trice.

And now a hook and hold double foul on Davison.

[MU82]

Floppy McNutpuncher is so effen dirty.

[MuggsyB]

So happy they made that call!!

[MU82]

If only the refs would look at a few replays ...

[MuggsyB]

Keep in mind this would not have been a close game with Wieskamp.  Key, key, player for Iowa.  Changes everything for their offense.  How bad did the injury look?

[MuggsyB]

Davison is disgraceful.....just sayin.

[PGsHeroes32]

Badgers 3-8 down the stretch. Wins against 3 of the 4 Weakling Wednesday participants in the BIG.

Wisconsin has inflated BIG10 computer numbers. But overall a resume of little in terms of wins.

Hard to tell.  He did have a boot on on, but who knows.

Yup.  I would like them on the 8/9 line.

I turned on the game at a stoppage in play and of course was a review of something Davison did. Of course Badgers Twitter thinks he’s just a victim of his unearned reputation.

I thought he made an additional dirty play down the stretch.  He's horrible for the game.

[MuggsyB]

I really hope Drake makes it if they lose this game to Loyola.

Sucks that Houston won that game. I hate Penny as a coach because he came in talking about how Memphis wants “all that smoke” and had been pretty average for that kind of talk. But many has Houston been acting scared for a top 10 team. First Gonzaga tries to schedule them but they turn it down to play some no name school. Then Memphis has two games they need to make up, Wichita State and Houston. The conference scheduled the Houston makeup game since Houston did not have a game over the last entire week of the season, while Memphis had games on Wednesday and yesterday. Houston told the conference basically there’s only 4 good teams in the conference, we played all 6 games against the 3 other top teams in the conference while Wichita State is going to win the conference because they’ve only played 3 games against the other top teams in the conference so they should have to play Memphis while we have a full week off. The cancelled game between Memphis and Houston was supposed to be at Memphis, but because Memphis was the team with covid cases Houston now got the game at home.

For a top 2 projected seed you’d think they’d be less concerned about losing to a Memphis or Gonzaga, less about an uneven conference schedule letting someone else win a conference title, and more about trying to prepare for a deep March run.

[Uncle Rico]

Not an issue as they’re rolling. A 13 someone doesn’t want to see matched up with them.

Kelsey is an impressive coach. A Prosser guy, WF and X, strong recruiter abd eye for talent (PG, one of the National leaders in assists) was a transfer up from D2, five 20 win seasons (two more with 19). I’d like seeing him roam the home sideline in the FF. Plus one of the first coaches I’ve with a visible tattoo.

I’m a big Kelsey fan.  Very surprised he hasn’t jumped to something bigger yet.  Chris Mack is very effusive of him

I don’t know how you can have a foul and a hook and hold there. 

[MuggsyB]

It was an unusual call, true.   I thought Davison hooked him and also tripped that same player a few possessions earlier. He does dirty things every game.

[PGsHeroes32]

Same thing happened in a gopher game recently

[MU82]

I don’t know how you can have a foul and a hook and hold there.

I believe I've heard it explained this way:

No matter what replay shows, it can't be used to change a foul. So once the foul was called on the Iowa player there was no reversing it.

But the replay can be used to assess a flagrant foul, and they correctly ruled that Floppy did a hook-and-hold.

Having made that ruling, the only possible call was two FTs for each player (because both teams were in the double-bonus) and Iowa gets the ball.

Kinda related ...

They looked at replays 8,553 times in that game, but the one time they didn't came after the jump ball in which the Iowa player pretty violently flung his elbow into the face of a Madison player. I was surprised how quickly the ref handed the ball to Madison for the inbound pass because I expected a 5-minute delay to review it.

That makes sense.

Gard going off in his presser is high comedy. Acting like Davison’s reputation is all manufactured by other schools and media.

I kind of disagree on both of these. In slow mo replay sure Davison grabbed the Iowa player’s arm. But in real time he’s basically just running there. His arm got “hooked” for like a quarter of a second. There is no intent and really no danger of a shoulder injury there. To me, I think replay needs to be done at real time, no zoom, and with a 30-60 second time limit. If you can’t make a call with that, it’s not really conclusive. I think it’s good to have replay but I think it can be detrimental at times.

And the jump ball, to me Bohanon’s back hit Anderson and Anderson just took an absolute flop. Anderson also tried to flop after Iowa got the ball to ice the game away. I didn’t think the elbow actually came close to hitting Anderson anywhere. But I’ve seen players T’d up for the same slamming the ball into the ground he did after the jump ball. Play is at about 9:40 here.
