what weird starting time for a Sunday game!
Big Ten Network: it says they are playing on that channel...but, my local paper has nothing on it.
I wouldn't watch the game on your newspaper then
Grand scheme? Not really that important. But there's been a lot of chippy barking from Nebraska fans this week- I am starting to want this as a bit if a statement game. Maybe for the team it's not much, but I see a lot if doubters, a lot of naysayers. I hear Gottlieb saying they're a 1 seed- kiss of death.
GO BADGERS GO Would love to kick the corn kids arse. Come on Badgers.
Dekker and Jackson were bad, and it was still a close game.
Bo may have let Frank sit to long, I get the risk with him getting another foul, but that is when the tide started to turn. I'm sure there would be bitching if he got in an took another one of those fouls where he puts his hands up, backs up, and the guy still makes the shots.
Dukkan played his second best game (still tipped the ball to a defender to start a fast break). Vitto played good spot minutes. Gasser played well.
I've only seen Nebraska one other time, they looked better tonight. I wish them luck in the NCAA tournament, because they belong.
Their coach tweets at halftime. Really?
Jackson turned the ball over today by handing it to the smallest defender on the court. He needs a swift kick in the balls for that one.
Not a great passing game all night. Lots of passes caused the recipient to extend to far, so they couldn't set for a shot, lost the dribble, or lost position. Bad passing or Nebraska's length, either way it took out rhythm,
That must be an insane venue to watch a game at. At least it came over on tv that way (not sure how it appeared on SDPF's newspaper).
11-21 from free throw. That is why they lost.
The pressure of the venue and the environment seemed to rattle Koenig, Brust, and Jackson. The interesting thing is that Jacdon always rebounds from really bad games with really good ones. It'll be nice to have him without him head in his ass in the BTT..
OK now. Finally finished watching the game (on the TV). Still the newspaper didn't mention anything about this game being on TV today.
Free Throw percentage must have been real low, too.
I really don't think the refs know what to call sometimes. They were very inconsistent on what was a foul. I saw lots of "limiting" the offensive player driving to the basket that wasn't called.
It seemed the Nebraska strategy was to drive Hell's Bells to the basket and run over anyone in the way. It worked for them. At some point the refs felt they had to call something.
It seemed it was as loud as the old Fieldhouse days. But we handled it well but shots weren't going in. Hopefully, we will see Nebraska in Indianapolis.
Shades of the Minnesota game in the second half. They didn't play very well down the stretch defensively and it cost them. Nebraska played like they were in the national championship game and in reality I'm not sure UW had much to really play for.
The scouting report on the Badgers is out, If they play a team that has good guard play and guys that can beat UW defenders off the dribble and take it to the rack they can give Wisconsin some trouble. You will see some of those teams in the tournament so we'll see where things end up.
I'm still thinking this team is best suited to be a 2 seed in Milwaukee.

Epically so!!!!! How a guy with Dekker's athletic ability isn't driving to the hoop at will is beyond me.
If Dekker had Jackson's confidence....
