Cream Crean.
Get BK back in the 2nd half and they should be OK
Indiana is talented, but doesn't play smart. Keep frustrating them by passing and this game is Buckys to take home

So much for that
GREAT win.
Hoosiers sad...nobody wanted the ball. Offensively inept.
Way to go Bucky!!
Great team win. Koenig, Happ, Showalter, Brown: CLUTCH.
Nigel Hayes? Not so much. 4 for 11 from the field, 10 points, 2 rebounds.
I don't know what it is about him and big games, but I do know this: He always has a bunch to say to the media BEFORE these big games (which is what the media wants). I wish he could somehow save it for afterwards. It seems to throw him off.
Way to go Bucky! Started out 13-0 and 16-2....then lost the lead 35-34 with under 2 min. in the half; took back the lead at half and never trailed in the 2nd half. It seems the Badgers just wear their opponent down in the 2nd Half of games....someone different either makes a key defensive play or stop and someone makes a clutch 3 to open up a close game. Fun team to watch.
Crean, as always, constantly on the court during play yelling at the refs.
They did trail in the 2nd half, 57-56 after a free throw by Anunoby at the 7:06 mark. A lay-up by Hayes at the 6:47 mark put the Badgers in the lead for good.
oops. Yes. thanks, ammo. I completely forgot about that...and then a nice 3-point play by Hayes right away to take the lead back. Still pretty impressive to have the lead the entire game (except at those two quick junctures) playing at Indiana. Now, hopefully, we can do the same at Purdue this Sunday.
Hayes stopped shooting 3s, Badgers stopped losing. There is a correlation...
The Badgers will be better without Hayes.
He'll make a nice living in Finland.
Hayes is a nice player. Best served as a complimentary player, which is still nice. I like having him on my team a lot, even if people don't agree with his words. (his words don't bother me either)
Yeah I admit his whole "I'm the star of this show" act does bug me, but I won't be apologizing for it.
Partly because it's wrong, as in, factually incorrect. But mostly because every time he does it, he follows it up with a clunker of a game.
He's a good player, like you say, at his role. Trying to be the star just doesn't work for either him or the team.
