ESPN had graphic saying that Clemson's win over Duke was 11th time this season that top-5 team lost to unranked opponent.

Pretty amazing

Crean gave him pats on the head, whereas Buzz had no idea he existed. Therein lies the rub.

Not sure what Purdue has to do with anything. I must have missed our games against MSU and UVA.

Anyway, you couldn't watch that game, and our game, and not come away impressed with how Wisconsin gameplanned for Maryland.

Just frustrating to see them get it done damn near every year for the last 20 while MU is spinning its wheels.

The difference plain and simple is they play defense the whole game.  They held Penn st to 49 points saturday (31) below their average. I expected more from Wojo as a defensive player than what he has created here. I know this fan base never gives credit to wisconsin because of the rivalry but for a team that literally kicked out ass in November struggled to score against Wisconsin. Again as I stated early in the week because I don't have just MU goggles on. If Potter had played the whole year the Badgers would have 2-3 less losses as he is the second best player on the team. 2-3 less losses leaves them at 13-4 or 14-3 and ranked in the top 15.  I don't see MU beating Maryland at home or going to Penn St or OSU and winning. However on the flip I don't see Wisconsin going to Seton hall or Creighton either and winning.

Lots of upsets. Some make our wins and losses look better. Some make them look worse.

It’s only a snapshot, but all that really matters right now is this: is MU better, worse or exactly as expected. Going by Pomeroy, we’re worse. Lots of season left to change that - here’s hoping.

going to guess you aren't familiar with how satire works

Oh I am, but nothing about that resembled satire.

They have been the best program in the state for 20 years.  Their coaches stay.  They have a system that many here abhor.  MU fans to play a pro style game...there are trade offs in life.  If MU wanted to go to a systemic approach you better be ready to commit to it for years with all the warts that go with it....and the benefits.  Wisconsin will continue to be good as long as they stick to that system and remain consistent to their style ...plug and play.

8 top 25 teams played tonight. In 5 of 7 the unranked home team(or for SH the lower ranked road team) won. This season is wild. Gonna keep being a rollercoaster. Win your home games. Pray for road wins
Assume what I say should be in teal if it doesn't pass the smell test for you.

Last night:

Virginia lost (we have more wins than Virginia)

Auburn lost to Alabama

The Shockers lost to temple

And

Kentucky lost.

So another night of top 25 teams losing to unranked teams.

Except Virginia was unranked losing on the road to top-10 Florida State.

I have thousands of chances, I almost always rip them...but yes, they are the best team in the state the last 20 years by every metric.  Facts trump hurt feelings.  I wish it weren’t the case, but it is.

The crazy thing is...... right when things look like they're about to change, some people want the guy instituting that change gone.

He's done enough to entice a top ten recruiting class and will be returning a fairly robust group with Theo, Brendan, Koby, Janal, Greg, Dexter, and Symir.
Add Karim Mane to the group and its impossible for me to see why anyone would want to risk messing that up.

That's on top of what's looking to be an exciting finish to this season and a possible tournament bid.

Good win due to the margin of victory. USC is still only 65 in Kenpom. They have two decent neutral court wins over #32 LSU and #55 TCU by a combined 4 points. Beyond that their three best wins are #97 Harvard (N), @ #101 Nevada, and #120 South Dakota State (H). In conference they are 3-1 with the 3 wins being @ #131 Washington State, @ #147 UCLA (woof), and #188 California (H). The loss was @ #40 Washington by 32.
