Baylor beat Ark.

Miss St./TCU in overtime

Miss State wins.

Miss St wins knocks off number 11 TCU

I expect MU to jump at least 4 spots, possibly 5.

Huge win for MSU, doubly good for us. Excellent day for Marquette basketball so far.

By my count, 8 top 25 teams have lost so far today, including Charleston losing to Hofstra.

Not a good week for many in the T-25. MU on the other hand dropped the hammer twice.

My opinion of the B14 conference:

Just sayin.

Impressive, especially since Marquette only played once this week.

Oh.....I forgot the Hall game was a full week ago. My apologies.

Badgers friends sharing posts that says McIntosh looking to move on guard -can coach but can’t recruit.

brewcity77 · « **Reply #1885 on:** January 28, 2023, 07:36:29 PM »

Portland sticking with Gonzaga, down 56-54 with about 8 to play.

I'm hearing the same.

And Gonzaga immediately went on a 9-0 run and now lead by 14. Pilots are crashing.

I understand this year is not going how WI fans want it to (And I’m loving it). But hasn’t that program overachieved the past few years?

Yes but their AD may be tired of the level of boredom he has experienced watching them.

Don’t underestimate their off the charts level of entitlement. Firing Gard after this year would be criminal.

Even die hard fans are getting tired of the low-scoring slog fests. Especially now since they are losing them.

Madison has "overachieved" partly because its coach isn't very good at a huge part of the job -- bringing in P6-level talent.

The only thing worse than being a boring basketball team is being a boring and bad basketball team.

UW isn't going to fire Gard this year. But if they miss the tournament this year and next? I can see it happening. Look, it is undeniable that college sports has changed the last few years. You can't simply rely on recruiting overlooked talent, having them bide their time and develop. And McIntosh seems to realize this and has the $$$ to toss around.

So it makes sense that they fired Cryst midway through this season but it's inconceivable Gard will be fired if they don't make the tournament?

They won the Big Ten last year. If Chryst had done the same, he wouldn't have been fired.

Yep, just like no way Wojo was going to be fired.

Why are you so sure Gard won’t be fired after this season? No one expected Chryst to be fired, especially early October. This isn’t the Badgers under Hirsch in the 80’s.

They looked awful in last year’s tournament and now they’re crapping the bed before February. Gard is in big trouble IMO (and should be).

I would be surprised. They won the Big Ten last year and finished ranked #14. That's not anything like Chyst's last couple of seasons.
