Welcome into our live game thread for Wisconsin's opening round NCAA Tournament game against Wofford. We hope you will follow along with us all day, whether you are at work or managed to get the day off.
The game starts at approximately 1:50 CT, depending on how long the Temple-Cornell game goes. And speaking of that game, I will be right here watching it and commenting a little bit on the two teams Wisconsin could play Sunday.

I wasn't buying into the hype of Cornell, but I wasn't denying it either.
I try not to make stong comments on teams I haven’t seen before. But now I have seen Cornell play for 9 minutes and this is a good basketball team. Foote is a very impressive big man.

Cornell's cutting and passing is ridiculously good
This is beautiful basketball to watch.

Man, Cornell has the Minnesota connection too
Ryan Wittman, the Big Red’s leading scorer, is from Eden Prairie, Minn.

Records in Wisconsin's favor:
Bo Ryan is 7-1 in opening round games with the only loss coming against No. 8 Arizona in 2006.
Ryan is also 10-2 against lower seeded opponents in the tournament with the two losses coming against No. 7 UNLV in 2007 and No. 10 Davidson in 2008.

Officials today are Anthony Greene, Jeffrey Clark and Lamont Simpson

What conference do they normally ref?
by wiarchaeologist on Mar 19, 2010 1:00 PM CDT up reply actions
Simpson does Horizon and MAC
He’s the only one to ref a Wisconsin game this year. Guess which one…

Minnesota/Temple
I kind of expected both of them to keep their games close, if not win
by wiarchaeologist on Mar 19, 2010 1:08 PM CDT reply actions
Yeah I picked both to win.
I’ve gotten a lot of 1st round games wrong, but only have 2 Sweet 16 teams out.

Hockey
Don’t forget the UW men’s hockey team plays St. Cloud St in the WCHA semis at 2 p.m. on FSN. Try to get 2 TVs going if you can.

I got it on here too. I'll be updating hockey as the events unfold.

Against Cornell
Bo Ryan might have to pull a Steimsma vs. UNC and play Berggren against Foote.

Who knows if Wofford will hold their own today
But at the very least, I think their logo is pretty awesome.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Nankivil's foul looked pretty urgly.
Glad to see him up and moving about.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Nankivil leaves with a left knee injury.
Not a good start.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
18 seconds in
and one potential injury. Terrific.

Where has that been all season?
There was no one ready to defend that.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Henry isn't even looking at Nankivil. He appears to be fine.

Scouting reports seem to be accurate
Wofford looks very similar to Wisconsin in style, but the Badgers are bigger and better.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
There's a limited about of people that can watch it. It's just based on availability.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
I'm getting tired of Leuer missing bunnies.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Bohannon just passed up a wide open three.
Not a good sign.
Then he gave up that weak offensive rebound.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Wow, Wofford can't buy a bucket.
And yet Wisconsin is only up 5.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Murray just missed an open net in the hockey game.
Still no score with 10 mins left in 1st.

If you can't make free throws then you shouldn't be in the game.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
At least he was visibly upset
about missing the throws. That’s the kind of attitude you need in March.
by Adam Tupitza on Mar 19, 2010 2:31 PM CDT up reply actions
Great substitution there.
Nankivil gets two straight steals.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
It's usually a good sign when the other team is scoring less than a point a minute.
Good ball pressure to force the carry.

Not a lot that Wofford could do about it.
Execute like that, and this should be easy.

What is up with all these missed bunnies over the last two games?
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
They'll fall eventually.
Hopefully we won’t need ’em today.

by Ben Buchanan on Mar 19, 2010 2:46 PM CDT up reply actions
They're layups. It shouldn't be a matter of falling.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
It’s either a lack of focus, or trying too hard. I’m thinking the latter is more likely.
by Adam Tupitza on Mar 19, 2010 3:03 PM CDT up reply actions
This Dahlman kid is very unimpressive.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
There's realy no excuse for Wofford not doubling Leuer everytime he touches the ball in the post.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Yeah cause that Cornell team will hit every open look they get.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
yeah- our offense seems stagnet at times late in the 2nd half. Are playing tight D on J-bo? Only had two shots and no 3pt attempts.
That's what I saw
Whenever J-Bo got the ball, he had a guy all over him.
Challenging him to beat them on the drive – good defensive strategy.
by Cheeseandcorn on Mar 19, 2010 3:02 PM CDT up reply actions
Especially because Wofford doesn't shoot threes
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Announcers
are almost begging them to shoot a jumpshot, must not be there game though, they seem to like to get it into the basket.
Hughes and Leuer score 22 of the 27...
OMG the announcers just said this as my slow, stupid fingers type it out…

Doesn't help when we give them wide open threes, though.

Sure doesn't.
Though only two of their second-half shots have really been open so far.

Jason Bohannon was kidnapped two weeks ago. Anyone seen him?

8/8 shooting this half. 100 percent shooting. Unbelievable!

by Ben Buchanan on Mar 19, 2010 3:27 PM CDT up reply actions
Reality
If the Badgers can keep pace for a little while, it’s probably safe to assume Wofford won’t shoot 100% the whole second half.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Is that like when the ESPN guys go nuts when a guy hits a dinger in his first AB...
then suggest they are on pace for like 600+ bombs?

Wisconsin missed their chance to put this away in the 1st half.
Wofford missed 10 straight shots and Wisconsin was only up 8

Well if it makes you feel any better, Nankivil turned the ball over and fouled the guy right after the cutaway.

Wofford is only 6 hours away
And it’s their first NCAA appearance. Not surprising all their fans drove down there.

always pull for the upset.

A team with no rotation player above 6'6 is getting all the boards.
Embarassing.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
It's like we were expecting an easy beatdown.
And we’re freaking out now that it’s close. GET YOUR HEADS IN THE GAME. Box out, play defense, and win the game!

Leuer lead us!

Fortunately, Wisconsin is in the bonus
And Wofford’s personal fouls can only go up…
by OBrienSchofieldismyHero on Mar 19, 2010 3:42 PM CDT reply actions
Free throws, layups, threes, defense.
You name it and Jarmusz can’t do it.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Wow, should've been a tech called there.
Jarmusz on the floor with the ball, calls a time out, and after the whistle #50 reaches in and rips the ball away from him.
That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.
Has a 12 seed ever been
favored over a 4 seed in the second round?

Four seed needs to make the 2nd round first.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a pick'em

+1

I don't think that I could forgive a loss today.
It’d be the worst in Bo’s tournament history

Leuer didn't get a touch on either of the last two possessions.
And Taylor and Hughes both took bad shots. Awful.

A St. Cloud State player was just carted off the ice.
I didn’t see what happened.

Thank god leuer showed up..

See what happens when you go through Leuer?
Every possession he needs to be the guy you go through.
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Leuer's reaction says it was definitely off Wofford.
Great defense!
Bucky's 5th Quarter. SB Nation's Wisconsin Badgers community.
Even if the ball hit Leuer
The Wofford guy still had it in his hand coming the rest of the way around.
by Cheeseandcorn on Mar 19, 2010 4:06 PM CDT up reply actions
So did the Wofford player's reaction.
He had the “crap I just lost it out of bounds” look before halfheartedly pointing it should be Wofford ball.
by Adam Tupitza on Mar 19, 2010 4:09 PM CDT up reply actions
Leuer gets the shot, the stop and now he's at the line.

Contain Leuer. Hopefully this opens things up for everyone else on Sunday.
by Adam Tupitza on Mar 19, 2010 4:11 PM CDT up reply actions
Any doubt that Leuer is our MVP should be gone after today.
…but he didn’t have much competition today
by wiarchaeologist on Mar 19, 2010 4:08 PM CDT reply actions
Trevon dominated the first half.
All in all, a decent game for him.
by Cheeseandcorn on Mar 19, 2010 4:13 PM CDT up reply actions
Well
I honestly had to turn it off, and take a quick cat nap at about the nine minute mark, and watched the last 3 minutes.
The week off rest clearly didn’t help our shooters, but hopefully this game will, or else we will have a 2007 ncaa tourney all over again.
Meanwhile, hockey team trails 1-0 with less than 8 mins to go.

They lose 2-0 as the Huskies add an empty netter.
