Bucky up 4 at half vs OSU

OSU doesnt have Young tonight and had Washington banged up a bit but boy have they looked meh-bad recently.

Look brutal through 1 half tonight.

Wisconsin now up 52-51.  OSU ball under 2 minutes left.  TO.

OSU scored 13 points in the first 3 minutes of the 2nd half.  They have scored 13 points in the next 15 minutes.

OSU is a dumb basketball team. And can't rebound.

Just fouled 83% free throw shooter when they didn't need to

No top teams this year. Good win for UW though and I guess by extension good for us.

UW has success every year, with much less "talent" than MU does. I understand its a style of play thing, but why cant MU get back to what is used to be?

UW went from back to back Sweet 16s with Bo’s holdovers to missing the Tournament 2 years ago, a blowout loss in the first round to a 12 seed last year, and a worse resume than Marquette this year.

Yet we are crying because we can’t have the success of UW...

I'd still trade places in a heartbeat with them. Way better game coach and his recruiting looks to be improving with these next two classes.

Bo Ryan isn’t there anymore. And heck, I’m not sure he’s even shown his face on that campus since he forced Barry Alverez to pick his guy as his successor.

I mean whenever MU loses a game on the road, most all here exclaim "it's hard to win on the road". And then you have a game like tonight where a VERY mediocre at best UW team goes into #5 Ohio State and wins...so, they can go into #5 OSU and win ON THE ROAD(where almost everyone here says it's hard to do) MU gets boat raced at Creighton and "it's hard to win on the road in CBB". So I guess it must just be hard for MU to win on the road, is that how it works?? I'm confused.

One team has an established defensive system and identity and one doesn't. I make fun of their glacial pace as much as anyone, but when you can guard like they do in a slow game you have a chance.

Ohio State was missing key players tonight and that goes unmentioned. UW now has Potter to play for added depth, etc, etc.

And yes, it is hard to win on the road.  How are Big East teams doing in the road thus far?    2-4 with one win by a bucket by the first place team and the other as a collapse by DePaul against one of the favorites.

Last I checked Wojo is 3-3 against UW.

Hate to be that guy but to the person who said they made the sweet 16 with bo ryans left overs. They were 9-9 at one point and came back to the s16 which in my opinion is impressive which is intirely on the coach for keeping the team together. I also heard a stat that since Gard has taken over he has won 5 games against top 5 teams away from the Kohls center. I take that in a heartbeat over what we have done on the road lately. Going back 4 years is nice since he took over but they have like 10,000 more tournament wins since our last win in 2013. Also to say they are mediocre may be true in comparison to past years but if Potter had be eligible they would have beaten Rutgers, St. Marys and one of Richmond/ New Mexico and would be sitting at 12-2 and most likely top 15 after tonight. Enough about them though.

Injuries or not to win @ Ohio st is impressive. Do you really feel MU would go in there and win after how they played at Creighton.

Onto Villanova tomorrow where we will get our first resume booster of the year.

Anyone know if they have $3 hams talls boys.

Couldn't you also flip that and say people are freaking about about a bad road game vs Creighton when Ohio State just lost at HOME to a "medicore" team?

I can see why you're confused if you're just going to cherry pick.

For some on here there is a silver lining for every recruit, injury, transfer or game result. Off course they play both sides of the fence to make their points. In fact, there is usually multiple silver livings for everything related to their posts.

I am not going to say that I want to trade places with UW, but I wish our bigs had the footwork and the interior scoring capability that they have down low.  What bothers me about MU is that we turn the ball over too much (lack of fundamentals) and can only seem to score one way.  IMO those are both chronic issues related to coaching and recruiting.

If MU played fundamental basketball, Wojo's tenure wouldn't be questioned.
