Think that guy is a SPASH friend of the hausers.   Has some good stuff on the tweeter.

Lol Wisconsin 2/8 to start the 2 OT from the line.

Race Thompson who has no experience at the line isn't fouled by Happ because he doesnt want to foul out. Indiana keeps passing to waste time and eventually get an And1 lay up to go up 3.

Dude misses the free throw.

They foul Trice shooting 3.

Wisconsin lets langford do the most predictable drive ever

Great game!

I watched the second half and overtime after watching Providence take down Butler and a little of Va Tech and Duke.  The thing that struck me most is that in the VT/Duke game the players seemed just bigger than the other two games.  Don't know if it was camera angles or what.  Just looked like it was a game in the next league up.

At any rate, I wouldn't talk to much smack about IU-UW, since one of them waxed us on their court and we had to go to OT on our home floor to beat the other one.  It was an ugly game, though.

We are 23-4 while they are 14-14 and 19-9 respectively.

I don't really worry about our 1 match up with both.

The game was comical. And neither team looks great in general.

Duke is Duke, and they are generally in the next league up, so to speak. But outside of Zion (who didn't play), I don't find them very physically intimidating.

VT's team is big and strong and athletic. Fair amount of switchables out there. Wonder why. Buzz is an a-hole but he can recruit and he can coach. I for one do not want to see them in the tourney, for multiple reasons.

blind squirrels baby.  we learned from our loss, apparently they didn't learn from their win

Indiana seems to be turning it around. Just beat Michigan State at home.

that has got to drop michigan st to 10 and a 3/4 seed and move us up to solid 3 if not 2 as long as we win. 

[Not A Serious Person]

I'm watching the end of Bucky/Penn State.

Gard is going full Bo Ryan.  He is whining and screaming about every call that goes against him even if he has no basis for complaining.

Is he always like this or is he "more Bo" this game than others?

The refs were simply awful down the stretch. They "let them play" with Bucky up two and then three in the final minute allowing Bucky to hammer Penn State without getting called.

This "let them play" in the final seconds is terrible.  Officiate the game the same way the entire way.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Good lord, the music DJ at the Kohl Center is a joke. Hanson, Celion Dion.

[muguru]

That no call at the end of the game was an absolute abomination...worst call i have seen...that was A. A shot attempt. B. A foul(or murder). Then to not look at/overturn the OOB's call?? UW gifted one again. I get so tired of that crap happening for them.

We agree, Smuggles.

I certainly can see not calling touch fouls down the stretch (though I'd prefer they not call those at all), but there were two pretty terrible misses late. Reuvers clearly got fouled with about a minute to go, and then Pretzelman absolutely hammered the Penn State player with a couple seconds to go. A ton of contact on that one, and actually a take-down by the PSU player's head. Ridiculous no-call.

PSU shoulda gotten 2 FTs. If he make em it's a 1-point game. Quick foul and then a chance for a miracle shot.

Only thing more horrendous than the blown call was Dakich's dopey explanations for why there was no call. "You don't want to bail him out there." Bail him out? He was effen hammered. I'm impressed the PSU coach didn't get a T. I think I would have!

Of course, a few seconds earlier, PSU had a chance to tie or take the lead but couldn't even execute an entry pass, so I'm not gonna cry too hard for 'em. As usual, the refs didn't "cost" a team the game.

[D'Lo Brown]

I wonder how just barely scraping by these awful teams will set UW up for the tournament. They seem to ensure that any team they play will have a chance... UW could have just as well lost to all of Illinois, Penn State, and Northwestern.

[We R Final Four]

Yes...but they don’t lose those games. They win them. So frustrating.

[MU82]

Another note on the refs ...

The guy who ignored the takedown by Pretzelman had to go look at the monitor to make sure the ball was really out of bounds off PSU.

He obviously had to see that Pretzelman committed a hard foul and that he badly blew the call. Do we think he cares? Do we think he says, "Oh crap, I really screwed the pooch there"? Or do we think he says, "Oh well, can't get 'em all. Can't wait for the payment to hit my bank account"?

I only ref youth basketball but when I realize later on that I missed an important call, I am sick about it.

That official is from...Milwaukee, and has had a history of making calls in crucial spots against Pat Chambers...just sayin.

[We R Final Four]

Davison: 3 points in 43 minutes on 1-11 shooting. bwhahahha

Davison today: 6 points in 32 minutes on 1-7 shooting (0-3 from deep).
What a dick.

[rocket surgeon]

Why?

because their loss to indiana has got to sting a little bit

[garekis]

Indiana beating Wisconsin. Our offense being top 50-ish. Our defense being top 75-ish. A Pitino back in Italy (err, Greece). Back to the mean. According to Hoyle. Feels good.
