Personally, I say Hoosiers.
Hooisers.
Ugh, a sinkhole that swallows Bankers Life Fieldhouse whole?
I'll give ya 3 guesses and da first two don't count.
WI unfortunately. Need to derails deep IU tourney run that could affect MUs seed.

UW is just as, if not more likely to get up to a 3 seed. I say go Hoosiers
Root for Wisky to win 17 to 13.

I'm just going to avoid downtown all together tomorrow...
Verdell Jones blew his knee out today for Indiana. That is a huge loss for them and their long term tourney dreams in my opinion. Their guards aren't very good to begin with, so losing one of them makes them even thinner especially on defense.
They've lost two or three players to knee injuries in the last two years. Because of the injury, Wisconsin wins tomorrow.
Small meteor.
Wisconsin. We beat Wisconsin. Better for our resume as the SC weighs 2 and 3 seeds.
Easily route for Crean and Co...
Is this really a difficult question? ?-(

WI was going to bore them all into comas anyway so the injury is moot.

I can't say I have watched that much of the big ten this year, but is Jones actually a huge loss? He was their 5th leading scorer.

I agree....not a difficult question at all.
Go Hoosiers. Ruck the Fodents.

He is their only senior that plays meaningful minutes in my opinion. Pritchard is the other, but he is a stiff at about 10 minutes a game. Jones is a better defender than Hulls (so is your grandmother's grandmother) but not the scorer. He is probably their lead assist man or near the top (might trail Hulls).
Because their guards are so inadequate, losing their Senior guard on a team that is already guard deficient is an important loss in my opinion. He is no stud by any means, but he is a body at a position they lack a lot of talent in.
Root for Wisconsin. We beat Wisconsin at Wisconsin and had a great regular season. The only way Wisconsin gets a better seed than us is if they win the B10 champ game and we lose prior to that game. Indiana, has bad losses but great wins. I could see them getting our seed if we lose tonight and they get to the Big 10 champ game.
Wisconsin hands down. Its going to take more for them to pass us for a 3 seed than Indiana and we beat Wisco.
Then again, just beat UL tomorrow and we are a 3 seed lock
Al-Qaeda
I would rather have Wisconsin go to the national championship game than have T^3 go past the first weekend of the tournament. I really would.
I'm going with the Hoosiers. My bitter feelings towards Crean are long gone. Plus, he brought us Buzz.
I will never ever root for Wisconsin.

Yes.
YES.
YES!
A THOUSAND TIMES, YES!
I'd rather be called Marquette GOLD then ever cheer the Badgers on.
No teal necessary.

I understand what you are saying but it is like gambling....you need to throw your heart out the window and use your brain......and the brain says(what is good for MU) is you want the rodents to win.

It's not that I don't recognize when we need a team I hate to win--I get that. I'm just not going to cheer for them or be happy about them winning when/if they do other than for it giving us a better chance at progressing in the season in whatever way it's going to help us.
Go Badgers

No self-respecting Marquette fan will ever,
EVER root for the Badgers and their grinch of a coach.
Had we won last night, I agree. However, I'm rooting for Indiana to lose (best I can do). I think them losing helps us more than UW losing. Cheer for MU's benefits first, then cheer against rivals is how I do it.
Does rooting for injuries count?
WI is gonna score all 33 of their points in the first half if they aren't careful
Big meteor.
classic crean/ryan showdown going on
I'm pretty devastated I'm not able to see The Grinch squaring off against The Fivehead on TV right now.
EDIT: for what it's worth, I would rather watch women's high school basketball than a WI game
Wow Rob Wilson having his Amo moment.

Wow Rob Wilson having his Amo moment.
Think Crean is having Jean Felix flashbacks?
Wilson averaged 3.1 points coming into this game and hit double digits with 11 points just once this season. Goes off for 30 today - wow!!
That is a bigger difference than both the Amo game (avg 5.6 - scores 30 vs USC) and Felix game (avg 8.8 - scores 31 vs MU).
Tony Delk had 53 for PHX in the NBA averaging 9.6
Can't think of any greater differential ever in NCAA with an MU tie-in... anyone?

He was awesome from three point land.
Would be like Anderson or Jones coming off MU bench and scoring 28 points. Great performance.
