watching and cheering for Ole Miss now
Bo already getting a healthy amount of whining in
That Marshall Henderson takes an amazing number of shots. He's such a chukker.
Olé Miss with a 4-pt lead in a real barn burner (pun intended) 6:54 to go, combined score of 26 points.
Henderson is the best player for the badgers right now.

Why would there be no pressure?
The season is not measured on if we make it further than Wisconsin. I have a ton of desire to make it to a 3rd straight sweet 16 as well as knocking out one of our future Big East mates as kind of a "Welcome to the Big East" gift.
I could care less whether Wisconsin wins or not.
I don't talk about it, but I root against the BADgers in the tourney,
Ole Miss is more talented, but in the end Wisconsin is going to win. I am rooting for Ole Miss.

For the on day in December I hate their guts because it is a fun in state rivalry. Is it nice to go further than them? Yes. If we don't does it make our season any less? No, we already beat them head to head.
As I've mentioned on here before their support against Kentucky in the elite 8 in 2003 made that place into a homecourt for Marquette.

I agree. I only root against them when they play us.
I like the school.
I even have learned like Bo ryan.
I cannot stand their fans that post on their boards and that is why I root againts them.
Answers will vary. For some, self included, there is no interest either way in WI basketball outside of during the game once a year when they play MU. It's a big deal for some locals and in-staters. For others, it isn't. This is similar in my experiece to other geographies with a similar set up. And, some locals/in-staters will root for both teams and some will despise the other. Some will be indifferent.All of the above is very common there and elsewhere too.
This is a doozy.

Badger hoops idiocy goes way beyond their message boards. They all get the talking points.
I understand why those not living in Wisconsin can be benevolent, but if you live around Badger fans, it is really tough to stomach.

Not only that but its just UW has too many fans that makes it seem like they are all idiots. We have enough moron fans, but since we are a smaller school and private (aka don't represent the whole state) we can overcome that usually.
I normally root for UW on non-MU games since I live in Wisconsin and it helps our RPI. Although, it is extremely fun watching the Henderson show. It's like rooting for Tebow to win because we all know the Broncos won despite Tebow but yet ESPN will pump it out being Henderson.

Dekker....damn auto correct
Ugh, I thought our shooting was poor yesterday. Wisconsin is 15-53, .283. Will be interesting to see how Bo handles this one if they do loose.
That was the most blatant offensive foul I've ever seen!!!!! WTF????
If they lose?
DOWN GOES BUCKY!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
SUPERBAR.
Brutal shooting by Becky. Even though they never get as far as they would like, at least they made it to the tourney again. I'm sure their fans will now be cheering for us tomorrow.
Bucky .. one and done, 39 seconds away. #schadenfreude
Only have the audio. You can hear how bad UW is shooting the ball right now. Ha!

Well, I was completely wrong about this one. I thought that UW would be able to actually score against Ole Miss.

Sorry just over a minute to play when I posted that, considering what we did in that amount of time yesterday I didn't want to count Bucky out yet.
As Bo keeps his streak alive of never beating a team better than his in The Dance.
Man .. IIRC, the 5 seeds are now 0-3.
One and done. Or, rather, Marquette-Wisconsin, won and done.

Ole Miss wasn't the higher seed. UW was a 4...Ole Miss was a 12.

I spitefully picked this result.... should save me in my pool
so much for all the crowing on buckyville of how great of a setup they have to get to the final four...
Just sent this text to my best Badger buddy...
Quote from: brewcity77It's okay, Badger spring football is only 29 days away.
There goes my first Elite Eight pick. I tend to minimize my risk by taking teams I dislike to go further, so if they go far my bracket is at least right, if they bomb out I can still be happy at the result.

I know. It's just another year when UW goes without beating a higher seed. The fact that they were a 5 and lost to a 12 makes it sweeter.
I can't wait to see the video for Bo's post-game presser.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! ;D

Bucky was a 5
Wow! Was that fun or what!
Watching Bruesewitz shake his head at a foul call -- looking more than ever like a total clown with that ridiculous hair -- was almost as entertaining as hearing the crowd moan when it was obvious Bucky was going down.
So much for the West being so bad Bucky could go to the Final Four. The West IS bad, but Bucky's only going back to Madtown.
Gloating isn't nice, but what the heck. Buckyland woulda been doing the same if our lads hadn't pulled out yesterday's game.
Now if only Iowa State can beat ND -- a distinct possibility, by the way -- it will have been a perfect "second round" of the tournament!
The big question....did Stone tweet anything? :D

Rex Chapman.
Totally unapologetic about shooting from anywhere anytime.
As Kerr said on the broadcast, it takes a special kind of player to go 1-for-11 in the first half and keep firing, ultimately igniting his team to victory. And I'll add that it takes a certain kind of coach who would allow it.

He's a punk gunner. No more, no less. Been thousands of him in the game. Shot it terribly today overall but hit a big 3 and lay-in deep into the second half.
In the end, if you're not in the SEC he shouldn't affect you unless you're turned off by his checkered past. But even then you'd have to agree he is entertaining.

Oh yes. Their incredible support pushed MU over the top. It wasn't Dwyane Wade who drove MU to victory...it was a bunch of fat guys in the stands wearing XXXL Becky sweatshirts. ::)

Definite missed opportunity. We may suck at shooting outside this year but at least we don't base our whole offense on it like uw. when they go cold it's brutal. 7-30from 3.

I'm very thankful that Wisconsin lost for two reasons:
- Wisconsin lost -- and isn't that enough, really
- I already lost Pitt and New Mexico in the West
Since I totally screwed up the West bracket, I've got to hope that everyone else tanks that one too. At this point, I'm a big fan of Ole Miss, Wichita State, Arizona, Iona and/or Iowa State.

I had this one in my brackets. Twice as happy. When you only play one way and there are no other tools in the box, and things go astray, it ends poorly. The weekend could not be off to a better start.

Hosting a birthday party for my son this weekend... bunch of extended family coming in (most of whom are UW fans) and decided that a Badger-themed menu might help ease their pain:
Slow-cooked BBQ ribs
Boneless Chicken Wings (so nobody chokes) with celery and Vander dressing ("bleu" cheese)
Vanilla bean ice cream
Ginger snap cookies
A plate of doritos arranged in the shape of Bruezewitz's fro
And the coup de grace: A cheese tray... some jack, mostly brick.
(This isn't a joke... I will post pictures of the spread tomorrow.)
I couldn't help myself and went over to check out their boards. A lot of people trashing their seniors and saying their incoming recruiting class will be an upgrade in talent over their current seniors. I know they're not the most rational group, but what the heck are they talking about? Koenig is good, but he'll spend a lot of time on the bench (behind the legendary Gasser). And the other guys are 3-stars that probably won't play much.
Dekker will get more time, which will help them, but I don't see anyone else being able to step up to fill the void left by Berggren.

Well they are good before they sign. But when the talk about Bo being the greatest coach ever comes up everyone somehow downgrades their recruits just to say how awesome Bo is
Lets keep the Badger hate train Rolling!!!!
If I could have Gtown still in it even if it meant UW was still in, Id take it. I get more joy seeing a fellow BE member win than seeing UW lose.
I think it's more fun to talk about the future (and near future) BE teams like Creighton and St. Louis surviving and advancing.

So just in case you can't read the text:
1: Ginger Snap cookies in the back (I didn't intend for this to turn into a Bruesewitz pile-on, but evidently it turned out that way)
2: The "3-point" cheese tray... brick, jack, and brick
3: Country Red potato salad (seriously, this is what the container said at Sam's... I hate potato salad, but I couldn't resist)
4: "Boneless BBQ Wings (So Nobody Chokes)" - A last minute substitution for the ribs.
5: When you use the whole bag, it makes him look like Sideshow Bob... or a Lopez twin. Your call.
BTW - If anyone has a few extra seats at their Thanksgiving table this year, I'm pretty sure I just lost mine this weekend.

Nice traditional plate.
