Nice shot by Dekker, Nice looking player!
Not having Berggren is having a big effect.
By the way, how is that a foul on Ryan Evans?

Probably a 4 seed even with the loss.

Aaron Craft seems like a player who would play for the Badgers
We're seeing what teams are going to do against this team- pressure the Gs, go small and attack the paint. In the NCAA they're not going to let this amount of physical play. The Badgers GS need to move without the ball. More movement, whiich is what they were doing before.
Held OSU to fairly poor shooting percentage from outside but couldn't take advantage of it. OSU a bit better at taking it to the rim than the Badgers. Too many scoring droughts for UW. Not that it matters.
Time to make some noise in the tournament this year.

Craft really played great D on Jackson today, in his face the whole game.
Horrific shooting in the 2H
It was a good run but you cannot go 7 minutes without a FG

And the dreaded scoring drought does them in again. 7 minutes without a basket to finish the game. Just a Jeckyl and Hyde team.
Boy does Tom Crean come off like a douchebag during this interview.

He reminds me of Mike Kelley from the Badgers Final 4 team except he's actually a threat to shoot.
I love Sir Charles.

Little disappointed in the 5 seed. Beat two top 10 teams in the B1G tournament and lose to a top 10 team in a close game in the final. Wonder what would have happened had they won? The committee has them being about the 17th ranked team in the country and they have to play the SEC tournament champ.
But this is interesting- the west region is stealable for a team like UW. I think there are a lot of non Believers in Gonzaga. That bracket does shape up well for the Badgers.
Except a possible game against Kansas St which will be a home game for them. Somewhat dissed again. Not as far to travel, but a possible K St match up is bad. For what it's worth Davis or Gotlieb said Wisconsin would beat Gonzaga if the get to play each other.
Of course none of it matters if they play like today.
Badgers beat Michigan during regular season and in Big Ten Tournament. They finish in front of them in the conference and in the Big 10 Tournament rankings. Yet Michigan is a 4 and plays what are essentially home games in Auburn Hills? Michigan also lost to Penn State at the end of the year and played a much easier non-conference schedule.
Maybe because Michigan has several players that are supposedly NBA prospects and plays "prettier" basketball?

Davis said that. Gotlieb hates the Badgers.
Why is a 5 seed insulting? Puts them between #17 and #20 in the nation. I think that is about right. You have to look at more than the B1G tourney...the Badgers lost to Purdue, Minnesota and Iowa.....they are 23-11. Any 11 loss teams seeded above Wisconsin? How does anyone think they deserve better?
That said.....I think they have a good draw to get to the Final 4. Gonna enjoy the tourney and whatever happens happens. Either way, I know Sconnie has the better coach.

No problem with the seeding.
Gotlieb was really complimentary of the program yesterday, I was surprised.

Maybe not insulting- but I feel like they're underseeded. They have more wins against top 15 teams than any other team in the country (IIRC). It's kinda like Bilas said a bit ago- they did not reward who you beat, but punished who you lost to. I don't think that's necessarily fair.
I wonder if they will be favored
And to continue what M C started, we always hear about how you are playing now. Yes they did a poor job in the final week of the conference but did a great job in the B1G Tourny. They beat a NCAA #1 seed, a #4 seed and took a #2 seed into the final minutes before losing. I feel they should be a 4 seed and not have to play a team that has a virtual home game if both teams win their 1st games. They could have made WI a 4, put Syracuse in the west as a 5 and put K State in the East as a 5. That would have worked and would not have made any conference teams play each other too early.
Dammit...why does K-state and Wisconsin end up in the same region every freakin' year?!? Second round I'll either see my favorite team, or my second favorite team lose.

Why, because he is. He's the whinniest coach I've seen and then talks smack to players on the other team after the game. No class!
Yup and there you have it.quote:Originally posted by Music City:

The final 7 minutes of a winnable big game - and not ONE field goal. Not one.
Eleven losses?quote:Originally posted by Music City:

Likely punished not only for who they lost to, but for how many times they lost.
