If the Badgers are allowed to push all day with the off hand they'll bounce back nicely this year. Davison still loves laying on the hardwood floor.

Gtown is really quick and athletic. Think they'll be a tough out in Beast play. I hope we can handle the press as well as the Hoyas are doing tonight.

[D'Lo Brown]

Will our guys be able to do just that?

I just don't see how they could possibly keep up with the MU offense outside of a terrible shooting night. The only way they stay in the game at all is if our shooters are way off.

Happ is a good player, but they've had better players. I think if Wojo tells Theo some momma jokes, gets the war paint on him and turns the intimidation factor all the way up. I just don't think Happ has the toughness. Let Theo rack up the fouls, impact shots, and make Happ run the offense from the free throw line (career 56.8%).

I just don't see an opportunity for them to exploit our defense. No way we're going into this game with no plan for Davison's circus tricks. What's really left after that...?

Hoyas are at a 25%+ turnover rate. Not sure that's handling things very well. Don't think the 66.7% eFG% will hold up. #Trouble

They are fun to watch. Love the huddles with Ewing .

Yep, it works. Until the refs don't hand him that call....he will exploit it all day.

If they scouted Illinois at all, they would know to play about 5 feet off of Ayo. Can't let him get to the rim.

[MarquetteDano]

This Illini-G Town game is a foul fest but refs just not calling it either way.  Never seen so much hacking on both sides without half the game on the free throw line.

If this is what handling the press is I don't want to see what struggling against it looks like.

Game is a turnover fest.

[Herman Cain]

Fun game enjoying the competition among these young bucks.

Ooooo boy, McClung gets up

[Mr. Nielsen]

Very fun game to watch. Impressive win by the Hoyas.

Georgetown's point guard  freshman Akinjo is much like Marcus, he came of huge for them.  88 to 80 win,  it was neck and neck the whole game.

[GoldenEagle323]

Wisconsin's bench had 2 points... lol

Akinjo is nothing like Markus. He's a slashing guard who despite his performance tonight is a pass first guard. Markus is a shooting score first guard.

I think Ewing is going to get it done there.  IMO a much more qualified coach than Mullin was.

And this was funny.

AGREED. One of the more enjoyable games to watch in quite a while. Sam Newberry (@Snewb22) had a great comment/description of this game: "The Georgetown/Illinois game snorted a line of coke in the bathroom, slammed three Jaegerbombs, and is now working its way through all of the Natty Lite it can before passing out."

Exactly! What a show that game was.

[Mr. Nielsen]

So, the Badger fans love the "Gator Chomp" as payback. Nothing is ever said that this has been a common practice for years now of the UW Student Section.

It would have been a more clever comeback for Davison to do the Florida State tomahawk chop at X since FSU knocked X off in the tourney last year. Florida had knocked on UW the year before, which is what prompted JP's gator chomp.

[Mr. Nielsen]

No, the chomp is what the UW student section does to the road team players.

The UW band used to play the theme from Jaws and the fans would clap accordingly.  It has been done since at least the 70s.  Used to be very prevalent at hockey games. 

For instance, if a hockey puck went into the crowd and someone dropped it, the entire crowd used to do a quick "chomp" in fun. 

[Mr. Nielsen]

Villanova is struggling to score. 3/15 shooting to start the game. Michigan leads 26-10.

This is not what I expected from these two teams.  Is Nova not as good as we thought without brunson spellman and divincenzo?

And Bridges, and getting spanked at home. They have 13 points at three minute mark. Down 26.

Switch to Big Ten Network in 20 minutes and check out what Seton Hall is like.  Heck, they lost all five starters. 

[Mr. Nielsen]

Michigan is playing well. Villanova has missed about seven shots around the basket which is not helping matters.
