I think this is on pace for a 40 pt game...
I'll take the under.
A game that feature gatorade wisconsin player of the year "josh gossen"?
I swear Brad Stevens looks younger each time I see him.
OT of my own post, why would an itouch autocorrect the word him with Jim? That isn't his name.

I was just going to say the same thing. He actually looks younger than his own players.
D*ck answer by Bo coming out of half time...
accused the reporter of asking an unfair question when asked about upping their (lackluster) intensity.
seemed pretty accurate question to me.
NOT
17 straight missed shots until Carrot top scores..wow...this is entertaining...simply to watch UW get punked by an 8 seed. I suspect we will see less troll activity here over the next week...

Or more.
Not only cause they're playing UW tonight, but I cheered for them the whole tourney last year. I mean what's there to hate about them? They play hard, great defense, are athletic, very well coached, disciplined, and can shoot it well.

I doubt it...you cannot start talking trash when you are a 4 seed and get absolutely dismantled by an 8 seed in the Round of 16. I actually feel for the cool/reasonable WI fans as this is reminding me of the beatdown Kansas put on MU in the Final Four. Game not over yet...but it seems there is NO way WI will come back to win...seems to be a more a question of how bad will this loss be?

I guess I meant the true Bucky trolls--stealthily trashing MU.
That's a good program there. Hinckley Fieldhouse is a great spot too. Lots to like.
I hope Brad Stevens builds something there.
Is Reggie Miller trying to imply that Bo Ryan is being outcoached? Blasphemy I say!

i would say it's built.
Already got my first response on FB from a Badger fan...I said "Let's go Butler!" and all he had was "can't wait for the golden eagles to go down". I really hope we can beat UNC and have that to shove down their throats. All the kenpom ratings in the world mean nothing when you choke to an 8-seed.
The commentary of Elmore and Reggie Miller is just hilarious...:
Miller: Remember this is a Wisconsin team that lost to Penn State 36-33
Elmore: Yeah, but at least that game was competitive.
Butler better get back to taking air out of the ball. Those last three quick possessions did nothing for them.

They are also very traditional....

Imagine if Heyward stayed. Very impressive team.
The Gonzaga of the Midwest! ;D
Butler is 48 in Pomroy...wow..rarely do we see Pomroy ratings so far off..that Butler will have beat Number 4 WI and Pitt.
All those damn Badger fans can now shut up about the Big East being weak, etc. At least Pitt didn't get punked like this. Pitt actually competed and had a very good chance to win.
Not comfortable with this score

Nope. I haven't watched any of it, and I'm afraid that if I do, UW will go on a huge tear.

Can't say I'm that worried. It would take a UL level comeback. Wisconsin just doesn't play good enough at pace to do that. The same reason they are so hard to come back on is the same reason they can't really be expected to pull off a big come back either.

The BIG East has gotten a little vindication tonight. It's premier player is still playing, the BE team that's already guaranteed itself an Elite Eight appearance is hot and rolling, the two teams left play a distinctly run and gun style which has led them there, and the two teams remaining have played good defense, whereas Wisconsin plays the BIG TEN style and gets the loss (and I am calling it even if it's 12 points/5 minutes I'll eat my words later if UW turns it around)
Right now I think the BE can safely say right now that its tribulations in the tournament are more akin to "survival of the fittest" rather than a disappointing venture.

I hate to point it out - but the Badgers did reel off 15 points in about a four minute span against Ohio State. When Taylor decides to chuck Bo's offense to the trashbin, he can score in a hurry.
All that said, I'm hoping and praying that Butler can bleed this one away. I don't care about the score, as long as the rodents end their season before we do.
Very sloppy play. Can't handle UW's traps. Looks like MU at UL.
They took the air out with 5 to play. Big no-no
Watching Wisconsin press Butler is like watching granny sex.
They didn't. They've rushed a ton of shots.
That fade away was tough.
Taylor is ridiculous in late game situations

Disturbing, but funny. :)
The clock started late on that last possession!!!

The fade away was clutch. Butler needed that in the worst way. A stop there, and UW is really in business. The shot made it a full 2 possession game.
Butler is missing some big FT's. I wonder if they practice their free throws ... :o
Matt Howard is making Jon Leuer look silly.
That actually was a very impressive comeback by Bucky.
Too bad they could have used it about 3 minutes ago.
THAT WAS THE WORST MOTHERF@#$%ING GAME EVER!!!
THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE YOUR REP WISCO!!!!
The result made staying up this late to watch it worth while.
