Come on Badgers. Hang on!
Koenig only played about half of this game
Tough to get into a flow when your PG is in foul trouble

and I know they can't be HOT every game.....but wow....come on BADGERS .
Make your throws and this is over
Bring on UNC
Bring on UNC
All about making free throws now. They've been poor today on the line.
Thank goodness for Nigel and Sam.
Frank has gotta be sick or something. He's playing awfully small.
WTF?? Announcer, "That should do it!" Really, are you kidding me?
BOOM!! Dagger! Frank the tank with authority!!
It's all good, the big guy isn't up to par then someone else steps to the line....GO BADGERS
Badgers were far from playing their A game but still found a way to win

Yup.
He'll have to show up against a long athletic North Carolina team.
Great to see Dekker step up and convert when the team absolutely needed it.
They'll have to play a hell of a lot better to advance.
People need to chill out a little bit
Oregon might be better than UNC and the bottom line is Wisconsin advanced despite two of their four best players not contributing much
Enjoy the ride - it ain't over and won't be Thursday either

This wasn't so much win and advance but survive and advance. Nice game when things were not clicking on all cylinders. Oregon seemed to have us very frustrated most of the game.
Now I can relax.
It is nice to see the poise. I didn't see the Badgers appear rattled for being in a close game.
I'd speculate the free throws might be a symptom of fatigue. Having just that one other guy you can trust would make all the difference. Notice that the run occurred when Bronson was out, the need that other guard to step in when he gets a breather (or a couple fouls).
Badgers only shot about 40% from the field and hit about 1/3 of their shots from long distance and got out rebounded yet still won by double digits.
Showalters 5 points is second half were huge.
Just like Dukans in the first half.
Sam looked like the Sheboygan HS Sam Dekker.
and that happens, normal "stars" NOT in sync ....so others step up, just a great win....and a great TEAM!!!! and really isn't this what's it all about???? I love this team. 
Dukan and Showalter gave them quality minutes but Koenig is the guy that makes it happen with his passing and shot making ability
Bronson only played about half the game

As usual game was won at the free throw line and turnovers. Badgers 21 of 29, Oregon 5 of 7 on FT. Badgers with 6 TO, Oregon with 8.
2 things Tschmack:
1) Badgers did not win by double digits
2) Oregon is not better than North Carolina

Forgive me
Oregon hit a meaningless 3 at the buzzer - there's your 10 point game
Wouldn't surprise me to see Badgers win big against Carolina

Wouldn't of surprised me if the Badgers would of beat Oregon by 20 either because IMO, they were not good.
We looked tired, so I'm sure we' ll be ready for Carolina Thursday but Saturday could be a challenge.

BTW, who was the dude on the Badger bench that had the bling earrings on?
Can't believe dude would have the stones to put them on and walk past Bo ....who obviously didn't see them

Yes, what a pleasant contribution by Showalter.
They were horrible offensively. I really thought this was a blowout because Oregon is a one man offense and the Badgers' offensive execution has been clicking. It should have been a blowout. They play like that against UNC, AZ, or KY and they run out of the gym. If anything is concerning, it's that they got out-rebounded By a vastly undersized opponent. the opponents the rest of the way are not undersized...
