Are you cheering for the Badgers because "it's good for the Big Ten?"

Tried, really did. Wasn't able to.
 

Through gritted teeth I have to say congratulations to Wisconsin. Great win for them.
 

Good for Wisconsin.
I live is Wisconsin, watch with nauseating fans but in the end they win. Good for them.... We can do the same. Told my wife at half how much I hate Bo and that he looks like the Grinch.....she chuckled and told me he's a nice guy in reality......not sure about that.
 


I too also need to say great win for Wisconsin. :)

For God's sake though Arizona had a foul on Kaminski 30 seconds into the game. And they couldn't get a second foul on him until about two minutes to go into the half because???
 

I used to hate WI and wouldn't be able to handle them winning, but I've gotten over that. Spend too much time hating on it. So I'm happy they won, but of course, after they won, my facebook feed was filled with random WI friends who don't watch sports who are all very proud at this moment. If WI wasn't in the tournament, they wouldn't watch a game of it, but with them winning they are the best fans ever of course.

Just need to chuckle it off and be happy for them that this makes them happy.
 

How can anybody be happy that sconnie won that game. All we will hear for the next week how great they are and how great their front running fans are. How can anybody after seeing ryans antics on the sidelines say "he's such a good guy". Tell that to those poor sideline people at halftime who are trying to do their job. kaminsky has improved but he gets away with "hooking" his defender many times and clears out people with his should but never gets called for it.
 

3 Big Ten teams in the final four would absolutely be good the conference and the Gophers! Go Michigan! Go Michigan St!
 



Gotta cheer for Michigan and Michigan State. Then we have to cheer for Michigan to beat the nerds in the final four.

Yeah, the B1G's strength was so good this year that it was still limited to only half of its teams in the NCCAT, while other conferences were putting up the same ratios. Biggest problem was that four teams were very good, and zero teams were extremely weak in the conference, which meant the teams closest to the middle (Gophers, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Indiana) struggled to get wins against the top four, and then struggled to make up for those losses by getting any free wins.

The B1G put 3 in the Final 8, even while getting zero #1 seeds. They already put one in the FF, with two more chances today. Even if they get 3 in the FF, the conference will continue to get little respect, unless a B1G team wins the tourney title. Even then, I'd bet you will still have to get to .500 in the B1G before the selection committee gives you any respect. Getting to .500 in almost other other conferences is much easier.
 

UConn is going to the Final Four....looks like big things are now in store for Central Florida and South Florida.
 

One B1G team in the Final Four. Our recruiting just got set back by a decade.
 



I cannot cheer for redneck hillbilly Kentucky. Wisconsin is the relative I do not really like but I just can't cheer for the blue nation.

Always the option of not cheering for either one. Maybe over-thinking this, but at this point Wisconsin winning it all might be better for the Gophers than losing in the semifinal or final. A championship might cause a couple of them to declare for the draft. I've seen Dekker mentioned although he really doesn't impress me. Kaminsky's stock is getting better with each game even in supposedly a deep draft. The guy I'd really like to see go is Hayes but probably not going to happen. If they lose now, I can see them all coming back even hungrier or more focused than ever.

On the list of things to do: Send Kaminsky a message, "Remember Mitch McGary."

I can kinda see that, but I think even if it does cause Kaminsky and/or Dekker to leave early, a national championship is a big boon to Wisconsin's recruiting and would likely make them stronger in the long run.
 


Due to a recent epiphany, we must all have faith that the Skunks be crushed severely in defeat for it is His will.
 


Better Dead than Red! Hope Wisconsin sucks!
