Wrap it up boys. It starts getting serious after this one.

Really hoping to see Jax out there today. Need the aggressive Sam Dekker, too. A strong win here helps solidify a 1 seed...
Badgers have had a tough time at Ohio State but a win today would still keep them on the path for a 1 seed.
They need to win all remaining games and need a Virginia loss to a lower seeded ACC team in order for them to get a 1. A similar Nova loss would perhaps do it too. Kentucky is a lock as is Duke.
With the notable exception of their bench the are hitting on all cylinders right now, if the bench does not step up the starters will not get much rest from now on. Bo will need to manage time outs and substitutions very carefully.
OSU will be tough.
I think this may be a loss today. Win or lose today, they need to win the Big 10 tourney to have a shot at a 1 seed. It's much more important not to get upset in the first or second round of the Big 10 tourney than to win today.
Its a lot like the Nebraska game last year. It is a much, much, much more important game to OSU than it is to Bucky. Win or lose, it's probably more important to see some progress with Dukan, Showalter, and Vitto.
It may be important for Kaminskys individual honors and it'd be nice for Gasser to shut down their freshman star to help out Frank's candidacy.
Ten minutes into the first half:
@JimPolzinWSJ: Showalter, Dukan and Brown have combined for 9 points, and UW's lead is now 25-12. That is not a typo.
Passes getting a little lazy all of a sudden... 9-2 OSU run.
Huge sequence there- 3 o-rebounds and Koenig hits a dagger 3. Second 3 in a row breaking a long scoring drought.
Hayes showing great patience in that sequence
Koenig's spark and now they have it going again! Nice answer when they cut the lead to 7...
Koenig and Kaminsky show now... Frank unstoppable and Koenig really getting the best of the Freshman.
Dominant today. Great road win! Bring on March Madness!
They get within 7 and the team doesn't panic. This team is extremely patient. It is scarey. Hopefully they can just keep on playing the way they do. The sky is the limit. If they don't give up, the prize is there.
The bench with a great showing. Now if we get Trae back, it will be less likely a few quick whistles for tap fouls in a tourney game will be their downfall.
After OSU got within 7, it was complete dominance.
What a pleasure to watch.
The bench managed to score a couple, but the law firm of Brown, Dukan and Showalter played horrible defense.
Another good road win for Bucky, nice time to get that confidence going ...
Great regular Season Bo & Co ..
F'em Bucky !
