Exactly! As bad of a day as yesterday was...today was a good day...ESPECIALLY since it's uncanny how their bracket always blows up and they would have had a 13 seed next. Bye Ethan...could be a rough few years for UW BB coming up, and I take great joy in that.

As disappointing as the MU season ended up being, there sure isn’t much to look forward to if you are a UW fan. Cupboard seems pretty empty and not much coming in.

Yeah, that was very nice. Late 3 meant they loss by slightly less than us. They lost to a team from the worst power conference in the country that would not have made the NCAAs without the tournament win. Murray State was making it either way.

Being a 5 seed sucks. No other way to put it. Rather have been the 6 like I said prior to selection show.

Entertaining indeed. One of the Badger fans called Markus "Markturnoverus." I laughed.

Especially his defense of MU tweeters, when some Rodent fan questioned why MU fans were nailing UW, he just said " did you just expect them to not say anything?? turn the other cheek?? lol He always seemed to be a Rodent backer.....

I have another silver lining. It is now five years that our current coach is not linked to other jobs. Maybe we aren’t a stepping stone program anymore. It has been since Deanne that our coach has not been linked to other jobs.

He was mentioned last month for at least two jobs, but just because he isn't playing the sleeze game that Crean and Wojo are by putting stuff out there to get raises, doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Yes, Wojo was mentioned in passing. Crean, KO and Buzz were being courted. At this point, I do not think any Wojo followers are staying up at night in fears that he is walking out the door for UCLA, Duke or any other gig.

Do you think any guys that write checks have inquired about Wojo availability? An op ed piece throwing out Wojo’s name is a far cry from a heavy hitter reaching out to Wojo. Who knows, maybe I am wrong and some big swinging dicks were tweeting with Wojo the last month or so.
