Every time I have watched Wisconsin this year, the same question keeps echoing through my mind. How did we beat these guys.....by only 5? It will be a crime if the B10 gets more than 4 bids. The only things missing are two handed set shots, short shorts, and Norman Dale. But Wiscy continues to win and are getting it done in the league they are stuck with. So, Kudos, I guess. It keeps helping our RPI.
I'd like to know how they get more calls than the home team!

It's called having one of the best coaches in the country. He knows what he's doing in working the refs.

Bucky is like ND, they don't look that impressive but they just get it done. Both seem to be great TEAMS.
My favorite moment of the game was Billy Packer's declaration that the Big Televen would get at least five teams in the tourney.
That would mean one or both of these teams is a lock for the tournament and perhaps both qualify, according to the old gasbag:
Ohio State (17-10, RPI 48 before today's game, 1-8 vs RPI top 50)
Minnesota (17-9, RPI 109, 0-8 vs RPI top 100)
Is Billy high? Ohio State could sneak in with a late run, but they sure didn't help their cause today. Minnesota has no chance unless they win the conference tournament.
MU only won by 5 becuase we could not put them away, more of waht we faile dto do than what they did, IMO

I wonder if he works the refs, why he can't milk the refs in the NCAA tournament...hmm.
I wonder how Keaton Nankivil is liking the bench. After Monday, Mbakwe will have played more minutes than him this year.
we won by only 5 because UW gets every call at home. Bo knows every ref in the conference on a first-name basis and kisses their butts at the Kohl Mine. He gets in the tournament and he doesn't know the refs, and the flops he gets at home turn into blocks. So he loses...again. There are six Big East teams who would win the Big Ten easily.
