Oh my....what a great night....
Barkley called the dook loss.....Bucky came back to make it closer than I hoped
Still a great night....
I was actually looking forward to playing them both next weekend. Oh well.
Had the pleasure of watching Becky go down in a room full of Becky fans. What a blast.
The only white player left in the tournament is Rob.

Oh yes, and yes. It is funny how certain teams tourney losses, like these two can be almost as sweet as a key MU win. These two tonight were fun, because both teams were exposed...and lost...on the big stage. fun stuff
I want to read what BadgerManiac has to say but that will be so much fun I may wait until Friday.
I don't think the nation wants to see the Badgers win. Or see the Badgers period. Just not good for the media-craved, high action 21st century.
What a weird game to be at. First half all Duke but Williams kept UA in it. Second half total destruction. I told one of the Duke guys from work this morning that it would be a heavy UA crowd. He's from back east and didn't know what to expect. I think he knows now. The building was dominated by UA fans.
And people really think Taylor and Leuer are NBA prospects...WOW
Duke melted down like we have seen MU do a few times this season. Thought coach K should have used his TO's a little better.

Looked like a lot of SDSU red on TV...(rooting for UA)
The first topic on the Badger board: " Next Wisconsin Coach". John Calipari and Tom Crean were mentioned. Sweet!

I'm thinking IU would be happy to lose Crean to UW, and then sign Brad Stevens to IU....
Brad Stevens would really bring IU back!
FWIW - Many callers on the local sports talk shows here in Vegas are calling for Lon Kruger to be fired. "He can't take us to the next level." They are delusional and thinking that the Tarkanian days are coming back! Maybe Reggie Smith can make a difference.
Great night. Kinda wanted BYU to beat Florida, but I can get over it quickly with the awesome result in the other 3 games.

Ners thinks Leuer is, I don't.
Taylor...I'll bet you anything you want he makes it to the NBA. What's the bet?

Crean landed another 4 star kid today (assuming he signs the line which is dotted)...chose IU over Ohio State, Purdue and Cincinnati
Get ready to pay up that bet

Uh...I'm sure he'll make it to the NBA but being productive is another thing. I will bet that he won't be anything in the NBA.

That's fine, have fun with the bet. The other poster questioned whether Taylor was even a NBA prospect....laughable. Please, give me your money on that bet because not only is Taylor a NBA prospect, he will be in the NBA.

That's nothing. People on the ESPN Wisconsin Board want to fire bo.

Very intelligent tonight I see...Read my post again...(B-e-i-n-g p-r-o-d-u-c-t-i-v-e is another thing.) I would bet anything that Taylor won't be close to anything Wes produces, hell I'll even give you Zar.
Save your money for a rainy day.

I read it...I don't necessarily disagree with you...that's why I said no thanks to your bet and said have fun with it. Sheesh
Taylor is a marginal prospect imo. Can't break down the opponent on the drive and utilize the dish (at least UW didn't use him that way). Has worked on the j and made big improvements but I don't see a huge talent difference between him and that Chris Rock looking pg they had. Then again I didn't think D. Harris would ever be an all-star. But the NBA needs back up pgs too.

According to you, the kid hasn't committed to Indiana yet, so how can you say your boy I4
landed the youngster? You can say you assume that he WILL land, I suppose. I guess your terminology if you were being 'fair' and consistent would be "Crean had a kid say something today that makes me assume that he will one day commit to Indiana, although that can't be any sooner than this winter."

I disagree, I think Taylor has a much better shot then Kam Taylor. To start out he's 100 times the defender, and he's a much better distributor of the ball, and he doesn't turn it over.
I'll bet that Dookie V. is pissing Duke blue today, and raving how great of a guy Shure shefski is.
But now Dookie will be gushing all over Fla. and UNC, to keep his ACC bias going.
Leuer isn't in the NBA. Not a chance. Who can he guard?
I think this game exposed Taylor's issues too. He had trouble keeping Mack in front of him. I think NBA point guards eat him up. He also isn't terrible explosive and doesn't have great elevation.
