3 Minutes left In The First Half ... PSU 18, Wisc. 11 (That's It!)

Gasser with another triple zot.

The best part of the game... Oh wait there was no best part.  The only entertaining part of this game was listening to Gus Johnson try to make it sound exciting.  Pure broadcasting gold!

Gus Johnson was single handledly channeling a trot out of the players with his enthusiasm.

This is why players like Tokoto (no matter how much they like Bo) won't go to UW. JP might give the Badgers lip service about finishing 2nd in an 8 horse field, but in a match race against any of the 7 finalists (and against scores of schools that didn't make his final list) Wisconsin is second (ie, last) every time.

chico's - still think UW is a national title contender?

I believe he never said that, I believe he said that they were mentioned as one. Either way I'd much rather be in their position.

Final, Penn State wins 36-33.  Does this top the Illinois v Penn State game in 2008 as the worst game in the NCAA in the last 50 years?

Yikes.  Bad for a 7th grade B game.

We just got out of the elementary school talent show and I turned on my iPhone to get the scores.  Sounds like the Big East games were fantastic.  Then I saw the UW-Madison score....wow.  I thought the phone app might have been stuck. 

That must have been the worst basketball game in the shot clock era.

Should have known this would break a big ten low scoring record.  Penn St is 338 in tempo, Badgers are 344 (out of a possible 345 D1 schools).

Bo's pitch to Koenig...."Son, we need your skills at Wisconsin.   If you come here, why, I can see us scoring 50!.   And I promise you that at some point in your 4 years, you will get to run a fast break.  Historically, I have forbidden that, but you're that special."

Well, that game was bad and slow enough to push Wisconsin down to end conference play as the slowest team in basketball, and moved Penn St. down to 340.

Lenny's beat me to it....I had knee surgery yesterday and have been enjoying my time sleeping and "floating on the pain meds...

That said you can't believe how long it took to post...the meds definitely impact fine motor skills...brain is saying one thing- fingers doing something still together different.

The best thing is that all of  Badger nation can't be quite so cocky this morning....let's enjoy it while we can.

I wonder why, on a night in which they were so clearly off, Bo stood by watching as Taylor and Leuer tossed up 37 of the team's 51 shots (making just 12 of them, including 1-for-13 on threes).
I suppose at some level you've got to dance with the girl that brung you, but you would think he would have tried to get the other players more involved.

Who else can score for Bucky?  It's the Taylor and Leuer show

Nankavil.

The Gasser/Nankavil/Bruesewitz combo averaged more than 15 attempts per game during the regular season. Last night, when Taylor and Leuer couldn't hit anything, those three took just eight shots. Just seemed odd that Bo didn't do more to get the rest of lineup more involved when the Taylor and Leuer show was bombing.

I'm going to a HS game today with 2 BIG badger fans.  This will be fun.
