Holy Schnikies, Baylor jumps at ANY ball-fake that Bucky throws at them.
Why do we have to get all cocky and out of our habits, just keep running your game and run clock.
So much for the toughest test yet, eh? Holy moly...
Are the Baylor guards really this bad?
Arodg taking in the blowout:
Have to hit free throws. This needs to be an Evan Anderson game.
Hack a Badger as long as its Hayes or Dekker
A total and complete dismantling by the Badgers
Reminds me of the 2000 LSU game in the tournament. The more athletic team got schooled
Might be one of Ryan's better coaching efforts to date
Come on. That's 1 point on 4 trips to line. It won't make a difference tonight but it could down the road.
Can anyone make a free throw?
Is TJack A.D.D. ?
survive and move on ... survive and move on.
Good Job boys
F'em Bucky !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bo Ryan had them ready. They played with great confidence, poise, and executed like a Champion tonight. And the great thing is that it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. They knocked down good looks, passed the ball like a Wisconsin team does, and played excellent man D.
I guess it a consequence of past disappointment. You don't want to feel too confident because we have seen that movie before. But this is really what we all should have expected. The Badgers aren't susceptible to "athletic teams". They have finally proven they can step up in the big moment and deliver a well played game. And because they're as good as they are, it isn't "slow down" or "style of play". It's better basketball. This team ran and out-gunned Oregon, then ground Baylor to a Pulp. We can finally say they're just a better basketball team.
And that feels really good...

The emergence of Kaminsky has been nothing short of amazing. He's the anti Brian Butch and Evan Anderson. A guy that's well exceeded expectations and has turned into a really good player that's a matchup problem.
The other guy is Nigel Hayes. Coming into this game I thought he needed to play well to trade athleticism inside with the Baylor bigs and he worked them over.
Stress-free Sweet 16 game, who woulda thunk?
what do you say, a dismantling.
Might have been Wisconsin's best effort the entire season. And the score doesn't do this justice. The Badgers just kicked the crap out of them
It was nice to see after last game, certainly. Non-Wisconsin or Daytonfans are probably disappointed but I'll take it.

Careful now, or Boris is going to make fun of you for wanting a stress-free game.
Just total domination. Patience on offense. Smothering Defense. Only negative need to focus on free throws even if you are up by 20.
Awesome win for the Badgers....did you see A-12 in the Badger locker room?? all the guys wanted pictures taken with him.....so cool. GREAT WIN BUCKY.

OK, guess I missed that.

Here's the one thing you wrote I really see differently.
Think about Kaminsky's play. 5 blocks? Inside scoring. Good shooting. Outside shot threat. Can drive.
At seven feet tall.
At the collegiate level, he is playing something really special.
My God, even Doug "I Hate Wisconsin" Gotlieb is praising the Badgers. I don't believe it, I just don't believe it. Studio guys think Bucky can beat either Arizona or SDS because both are poor scoring teams.
Outstanding for most part. FT shooting down the stretch was awful tho. Great ball movement throughout the game.
Could we see a 3 team BigTen Final Four?

Psych cognate here, and I gotta tell you, I'm pretty sure he meant "out of the oitnerary" as regarding per the Badgers.

Not sure Rodgers is helping cancer patients with the grandstanding.
Big Frank probably rejected him on the way in.

But he's been doing that all season... Not that many blocks, but certainly everything We have seen before.
He has really learned how to keep his feet planted and make moves close to the basket. It is fun to watch.

Sure is. Love watching effective, fundamentally sound offense in the post. Wish we saw more of this in general, it's old school but it's some of the most beautiful basketball you'll ever see.
It's pretty funny that some Badger fans wanted Bo Ryan fired.
All the guy has done is win and produce quality men out of his program.
This team and even next years squad are the crown jewels of this program. They are phenomenal.
When I saw Kaminsky as a freshman it seemed like a wasted scholarship. Now he plays like Kevin McHale. The foot work in the paint is amazing and a 7 footer showing those kind of spin moves is astonishing. The fact that can you can now mention Kaminsky's name as an NBA prospect is a testament to his hard work and the UW staff. People were talking about McGarry last year as a lottery pick. I'd much rather have Kaminsky.
Misunderstood ya, MC.
This is the best UW team I have ever seen.
They have met their seeding. Awesome!
looked like a #2 seed against 15.. Well done the last 2 games Becky to not trip up yet.
I'll tell you what, the McHale observation is interesting but he's got an outside game like Dirk Nowitski. You just don't see 7 foot players with that kind of footwork and ball handling skills. He can beat guys off the dribble or post them up down low.
People talk a lot about Dekker's pro prospects but Frank the Tank might be in a better position to succeed.
Loved the ARod video and was that Rob Jeter making a cameo appearance as well? Maybe Brian Wardle and Dick Bennett can show up at the next stop!
This was my favorite Sweet 16 preview here http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/...91949490--ncaab.html
My favorite quote (they shot have the % not half the rate does that count?):
Baylor (+3) vs. Wisconsin â Baylor's beef down low, surgical precision on offense and arc assassin Brady Heslip (46.4 3PT percent) presents a daunting task for an uncharacteristically average Wisconsin defense. If the Bears execute at even half the rate they did against Creighton ... blowout.
