#2 seed Wisconsin is beating #10 seed Indiana 57 to 42 with 8 minutes left in the 2nd half. Badgers have some of their mojo back hitting 50% on 3's and getting back to back clock shot violations on Indiana near the end of the 1st half. Hayes sat most of the 1st half with 2 fouls. Winner of this game takes on the winner of Maryland/ Northwestern tomorrow. Tourney is wide open now with Purdon't getting beat by Michigan earlier today. And the Goophers knocked out MSU.

Only trusts 6 guys, but those 6 are playing well.
Crean is a weird dude. Down 8 with 4:29 left and takes his last timeout after a made 3.
And here we go with the missed FTs.....
Have to hit some FTs down the stretch and play smart. Let's see what they learned from the Iowa game.

Maybe not much....
So, the 6 Gard, WR guard line up is the solution to Vito Brown's suck Fest?
Nice game again by Happ. 14 points, 12 rebounds. Also a solid contribution from Trice. I really like what he is bringing to this team. So much for the 1 and done naysayers.
I was one...I'm standing in the corner.
Trice was huge off the bench

Trice was great and Gard basically didn't use the other guys off the bench at all. 18 minutes total for all players except for the starters and Trice.
Drunk Maryland fans on the Metro are a rough sight after this loss. One drunk guy: "Tom Crean would win 32 games with this team."

Still, too many "unforced" stupid turnovers by experienced players. That being said, they seem to be turning the corner and playing better defense and hitting some shots and not missing so many bunnies. Agree that the FT shooting still sucks.
Hey, they made it to Saturday...and....they COULD win the Tourney!!!!
The health of a Bronson Koenig has been a big factor. He's attacking again. Shen he's able to break guys down off the dribble he's an all American. They get transition baskets and everything. It looks like basketball!
Trice and the 3G lineup gives them shooters who aren't afraid to shoot the hall. Brown was that, but now he's a blubbering mess with the ball. Happ has finally seen enough doubles that he's confident in what to do with the ball.
If they can ever get Brown's confidence back, they'll fully be back.
Brown's drop from useful on the court to a liability has been incredible
When healthy, their top 6 guys can beat anyone.
Brown should have been their 2nd guy off the bench and get about 10-12 minutes a game (like Dukan 2 years ago) but none of the other guys developed. He's not useless, he's just miscast playing 30 minutes a game
They had a successful season even if they lose the final 2, but the lack of depth and FT shooting will be the things that end it for them
The lack of improvement from Illikainen, Iverson, Pritzl, Thomas, and Hill is a huge concern for the future. Trice improved as a freshman during the season more than those other 5 combined. You know it's bad when Grad was giving Moesch minutes at one point

Wow, really wasted.
