Having played the Badgers and Creighton

I agree with this, especially this year. A team that can get to the basket like Creighton can, is big trouble for UW.

Personally don't see Wisconsin getting past Oregon but I would like our chances against UW. Berggren torched us in LV but Gasser wasn't there. Kaminsky might torch us now but he seems to shoot too many threes for his size from the limited amount of games I've watched. We also have enough to limit Gasser.

Between the Badgers and Creighton.  Two very similar style teams.  The way I look at it, if MU had one more chance to get back into the tournament but had to play one of these two teams.  I would absolutely want to play UW, because I think we would beat them on a neutral site. 

I don't think we could beat Creighton at home.

Creighton by double digits over UW if they got a chance to play each other.

Since when has Creighton been a team that "gets to the basket?"

Ummmm...since they have that guy wearing number 3. People seem to think they just jack a bunch of 3s. Nt the case at all. They certainly shoot a lot, but they (particularly McDermott) can get the ball to the basket, and get to the FT line as well as anyone.

I really hope you are right, but I am affraid that this is going to prove we were a bad team in an overrated conference.

Who cares.  We are not in the tournament or the NIT we were a bad team this year, do you really need confirmation via teams we played?     Just cause Georgetown won a game in the NIT and we beat them twice, does not mean that we also win a game in the NIT

I keep trying to talk myself out of SDSU as well, but when picking these games, I can't stop myself from writing their name down. I don't feel great about it, but I have them there. I just like them in the matchups.

SDSU in OT right now.  They might pull this out, but I haven't been overly impressed with them this year.  They're good, just not that good, but you are right the matchups could serve to their advantage.  They strike me as a team when they get knocked out (assuming they find a way to save this game), they will go out big.
