this is such a pathetic rush.

Also did we rush when we took down UConn in our Big East premier?

It looks better.  I'm guessing MU82's prediction that they are toast becomes a little less crispy, too.  Top high school player in the state at the game, too.  Some people think with their heart, not their brains, aye?


And some think with other organs....

Rush the court? Are you serious?

Why not, they are kids.  Who cares.  Michigan was essentially the #1 team in waiting.....and #2 currently.

Because thats for teams that haven't been there before. Wisconsin was 4 mins away from a National Championship 3 years ago. It's embarrassing imo.

Anyways the way the net rankings love the Badgers this should sky rocket them to a 2 seed.

Nice win by Wisky.  Hope they enjoy, because next year they might be cellar dwellers without that fella Happ.  He had 26, 11 bounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. 

They beat the possible #1 in country  at the time and had won 31 of last 32, rush the court, party all night, MU would do the same.  Enjoy it now. 

wadesworld

Gard loosened up that tie and was cheesing. Think he was feeling some pressure?

Congrats to the badgers on their super bowl win. Crowd storm and all...
Bravo!

I don't have a problem with fans of a big underdog rushing the court. Like you said, they're kids.

But the fact that they were a big underdog just four+ years after back to back Final Fours says a lot about how their fans view the state of the program....

Mr. Nielsen

I'm lost as a 2 point underdog and a program that went to back to back Final Fours, that you storm the court.

We were beating UCONN that game by as many as 24 points, ultimately won by 15.  Most court rushes I see are when the game is close and you knock off a top team as the energy builds.  Crean's guys destroyed UCONN that game.  With 16 minutes left in the game we were up double digits and never got below that...the energy for a court rush probably subsided.  It was an ass whooping, up 24 with under 3 minutes to play.  The bench let them shave off 9 points at the end.

Journalism the last 24 hours has taken another massive hit, not sure what journ 101 even is anymore because journalists certainly aren't practicing it.

Which means half those kids that did it were 14 years old when that happened and don't care, this is their time.  I agree with the act like you've been there before from players and the program / arena, but when you're talking about students (likely drunk), I give a lot of leeway to that group.

Good journalists still check sources and report the facts, and there still are plenty of them. But bad journalists certainly exist, and since generalizations are easier than looking case by case, some people make overly broad statements like "journalists certainly aren't practicing it."

Just my $0.02.

4+ years ago accomplishment means you can't be a 3 point underdog?  Look at how many Final Four teams the last 20 years haven't even made it back to the NCAA tournament the next year and lost plenty. 4+ years ago has nothing to do with this year's team.

Yes, and good news divisions don't run 24 hours of bad journalists without facts because they want an outcome.  Journalism has really fallen on bad times with clickbait leading the charge, and now actually being used by so called "real journalists".  Truly disturbing.

What are the odds that the cases of "bad journalism" almost always go against one person.  Hmm. It's almost as if they are reporting with their desires with no facts at all.  I'm trying to remember when the bad journalism broke in a positive way.  The odds of that are truly mysterious.

I don't think 3-points qualifies as a "big underdog." But the fans certainly acted as though they were....

The energy in that crowd was poor. Pathetic court rush. I'd be a little under enthused as a visiting player.

Contrast that with the atmosphere at Fiserv against Kansas St., Wisconsin, Buffalo.

And for the record, I'm calling the court rush pathetic, because it was low energy and seemed like an after thought, oh yeah...we should wander out onto the court...cause we won.

Have no problem with kids rushing the court in a big win.

Kohl Center seemed liked it didn't get going until 6 minutes left. Low scoring game might have something to do with that.

I like our energy a lot better this year. Winning consistently helps.

Gard bought himself another two years.

Does that mean we become the second best team in the nation?
