In glorious HD as well.
Scary to say, but Northwestern may be a bubble team. Wins @ Michigan State and vs. Florida St, and .500 in the Big 10 as of now.
Northwestern has been playing well. Wow. Another alma mater of mine but I don't go to any of the games even though I live in Chicago. I go to the MU homegames instead :)
But they have been playing better than other years
Now that MU has so many quality wins .. I don't care if UW loses out the rest of the season. Ok, I do care, that's exactly what I'd like to happen.

NW has never made the NCAAs. That would be cool to see them go.
Bucky did not give this game away. The Cats took it to them. Moore stepped up when Coble was having an off offense night. Absolutely fun team to watch. Very, very good defensively and patient with good shooters on offense. NU may be dancing for the first time ever.
I still want them to beat Indiana.
Good thing Bo always has his teams playing better as the year wears on. Perhaps he's making them practice too hard. :D
Now, we just need Vander Blue to decommit and come with his bud Jeronne Maymon to MU.
I sat three rows behind the UW-Madison bench. Thought Leuer was their best player tonight and he sat the last 6? minutes of the game. I'm not sure why Bo doesn't like him.
could you blame him if he did? that system in NO FUN to play. for or against. basketball at it's lowest common denominator, i say

Not me. I don't care for the Badgers and I'm an IU alum. I will cheer wildly that game for the Hoosiers, especially if it puts a nail in the coffin for UW-Madison
Who Cares.

Aahhh...life is good. TC and Bo will be battling it out for the basement of the B11.

Huh? I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. It's just a basic swing offense - a variation of an offense that is pretty much taught at all levels of basketball. My guess is that it is fun to play if you are winning - just like every offense.
Someone on the Badger board asked if there was a "fireboryan.com" website yet. There isn't. I know the football coach has his site. Wouldn't it be ironic if they both had these type of sites created within months of each other? BTW, I can't believe Bielima just got a one year contract extension!

Amazing. Badger fans worshiped Bo merely two months ago. Before last year, Bielima was the best coach of all time too.
The Badgers' season kinda gives me flash backs to the end of the Mike Deane era at MU. Remember when the wheels started to fall off for Deane?
Un-athletic, slow down, "system" teams are fine when you are winning but once the winning stops they get to be down right unwatchable.
Hey Chico's, you can go ahead and give me the obligatory, "I told you so."
Where do I send the $1,000 dollars I'm gonna owe you, as it would take an act of God for the Badgers to finish better than 5th in the Big Ten now. ;)

I'm still not sold that they won't make the NCAAs. Their last 9 games are pretty soft. I see 6-3 for them, though they are just helter skelter enough to go 4-5 as well. I just think they aren't as good as they were, but it wouldn't surprise me to see them squeak into the tournament either.
