badgers really got a break drawing these guys.

Did they? Thought Colgate was pretty clearly the best 14 seed.

Their 6/11 pairing was the true gift.

Wisconsin is going to go to another Final 4.

Iowa State is bad.  Auburn is too hectic to beat a composed team like Wisconsin and Kansas is banged up.

Painful few weeks ahead.

Don't think so. Auburn is going to smoke them barring a really tight whistle.

This UW team is not like previous iterations who have made runs.

They're one of the worst shooting teams in the nation and one guy dominates the ball, albeit a really good one guy.  He isn't terribly efficient, either.  This isn't the 14-15 team.  They're a measly 1-point favorite on KenPom against a mediocre Iowa State team

FYI   the Rodents are -4.5 as of this morning !  ! !

Despite a huge step up in circumstances and competition, Colgate came into the most hostile environment any team will have to face in this tournament and gave the Badgers a run for their money.  They had a 5 point lead in the second half, and for 35 minutes they had the Badgers and their fans on edge.  They just didn't have what it took to hang for the full 40, but that was a performance the players and their fans can be proud of.  I hope their coach told them as much after the game.  He did a heck of a job getting them ready, too.

Compare that to Marquette getting run out of the gym by a forgettable UNC team, and, well, there is no comparison.

[MuggsyB]

Man I wish we were playing this game right now.  Rooting for Baylor but I think UNC has the edge.

[Oldgym]

Looks like a 1 vs 8 game, except NC is the 1.  Lucky us.

[MuggsyB]

We need to learn how to take some charges moving forward.  I can't stand most of the charge calls but it's part of the college game.

South Carolina beat Marquette in a round one game and road the momentum all the way to the Final Four.  North Carolina is capable of doing the same.

They're dangerous if Love and Davis play this way.

[Uncle Rico]

Baylor is toast.  The top two seeds in the East are gone

[GoldenWarrior11]

R.J. Davis is a stud.  What might have been.

[Oldgym]

NC throws another team in a locker.  The only question is margin of victory and still 12 to play.

[MuggsyB]

This is a really impressive performance by UNC.  Because Baylor is very good defensively.  I'm not sure they will keep playing at this level but clearly they can beat anyone.

[Oldgym]

My previous not aging well.  Didn't expect a team up by 25 to stupidly turn this into a WCW event.

Idiot

[MuggsyB]

Idiot

LOL. Don't be so hard on yourself!

[Uncle Rico]

These officials should never officiate another game in the history of Earth

Couldn't agree more.  About as bad as I've ever seen.

Worst I've seen since the Marquette - Seton Hall Big East Tournament game a few years back.

Pretty sad comment on the other 3.

Auburn plays unhinged.  They are a very emotional team.  Wisconsin is the exact type of team that knows how to fluster and bury a team like that.

Kansas is our only hope.

Just like MU was in danger of missing the Tournament the afternoon of March 5.

No

He's not wrong - Johnson and Greene, mostly Johnson can very easily shoot them out of a game.
