Hope you don't mind me commenting on the current game.
16-10 Michigan early, and they’re looking legitimately good right now.
I’d rather face them than Ohio.

Yeah hardly any fouls called here in the first half.

Ed Hightower is a joke though.
Beilein calmly said “He got hit the arm” and Hightower yelled at him and stared him down for 10 seconds while not watching the play that was happening right in front him.
Stop putting on a show and do your job Ed.

As I expected, Michigan is giving Ohio State a decent effort
But the Buckeyes are in control and will likely in. Currently up 54-45 with 7:57 remaining.

Michigan takes the late lead
66-64 with 24 seconds left. Whaaa?

As much as I want to see a OSU-Wisconsin matchup
Playing Michigan wouldn’t be that bad.

I'm in a basement watching gamecast.
Did Turner really just hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the game? Really?

WOW Ridiculous!
Evan Turner hits a three at the buzzer. THIS IS MARCH MADNESS!!

A Badger Bit for you...
ESPN Chicago has a great article about Howard Moore’s recruiting efforts for the Badgers in Chicagoland
-Jake Harris
Badgers have missed their first 5 shots.
Illinois leads 7-0

Thank you.

Hope we can start hitting some shots
16.7% isn’t going to cut it

They keep getting guards on Leuer down low.
I don’t understand why he isn’t taking advantage of that.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
WOW
Wisconsin is 4-of-22 so far in this game. 2-for-10 on threes. That’s ridiculous.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Meanwhile Illinois is shooting 72 percent.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
I've counted 4 missed layups so far.
Wisconsin would have a 2-point lead with those.

That was one of the biggest bailout calls I've ever seen.
That was not a foul and the ref on the far side of the court called it while the two refs standing right there didn’t.
I’m sure the Badgers will take it. Now if they could only hit a free throw.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
He is still talking it over with the ref

It's moments like these where I remember why I put Hughes on my 3rd team All-Big Ten
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Hughes is now 0-for-7 in the game.
Bohannon has zero points and Taylor is on the bench.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
He looks beat up though
I get the sense he’s hurting right now. Just doesn’t look right to me. We need him healthy for the NCAA tournament.
Add three more misses to the stat sheet before halftime.
Badgers trail 29-20 at halfime.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
And I'll reiterate what I said Sunday.
Illinois’ fans are the biggest crybabies in the conference.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
What are they complaining about?
Also, what is the general ratio of fans at the game?
by wiarchaeologist on Mar 12, 2010 2:16 PM CST up reply actions
At least we got our March 6-for-32 field goal half out of the way?
No way the Badgers have a worse half from the field for the remainder of the season.
I've never seen the Badgers shoot this poorly. Never.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Bo Ryan is going to the bench.
It’s about time. What else can he do?
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Illinois fan just proposed on the kiss cam.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Crazy stat. Illinois has 13 turnovers and Wisconsin has 2.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
That's the only reason this isn't a complete blowout
A better team than Illinois would be leading by 30+.
Hughes and Bohannon have yet to hit a field goal
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
I don't know, but they won the title here 2 years ago.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Maybe its just the Big Ten tournament in general
Seems like for every win they have 2 absolutely awful losses.
This possession could decide the game.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
So you're saying there's a chance...
This entire game I’ve felt they’ve been this close to pulling out a big run.
I'm telling you. A score here puts UW in it. No score and it's over.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Bohannon/Hughes
both should finish the game by making like 8 out of 5 three-pointers, to atone for the first 7/8s of the game.
by wiarchaeologist on Mar 12, 2010 3:09 PM CST reply actions
On the bright side, I have less work to do all weekend now.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
This is true
Just enough to make me feel a glimmer of hope.
I appreciate the effort though, it makes me feel better about the Tournament.
Honestly, I felt like I was jinxing the comeback if I posted something here.
Good effort, but honestly, Wisconsin had no business losing this game.

ESPN Coverage of the game
A couple of comments about the game coverage. First, ESPN needs to get someone more experienced on the the game graphics. One graphic was titled “Tournament Wekk.”
Many graphics were out of focus. That was real strange. The announcers kept talking about how terrible the Badgers were playing and not so much about how terrible they were shooting. I don’t get that. Badgers played good defense, dominated turnovers and stayed into the game until the very last shot. Only thing I saw was just a lot of bad shooting. I event thought that shot selection was good. They just weren’t dropping for some reason. Not sure we could blame tight rims. There were a lot of air balls, and hitting on the outside of the rim.
