Doing well in tourney. Wisc got a gift call to beat Vandy.
 

IU needed a blocked shot turned into a fortunate assist to pull it out too, but agreed.

Thru the first round of the NIT and NCAA, the B1G was 7-1. Way to blow it Michigan.

Of course, Northworstern went and got themselves blowed up by 20 at Washington late last night. Despite not really being on the March radar for B1G basketball anymore, I find a loss to a very weak PAC-10 rather embarrassing.
 

Indy and Wisky were both lucky. Screwed up my bracket. Damn.
 

I wouldn't call Wisky win lucky. There was the interesting call late, but it's not like it was ultra bad call. Wisconsin was ahead nearly the whole game and hung on in the end. They seemed to be the better team to me.

I though IU showed alot of guts. Game could have been blown open by VCU multiple times but IU hung in there and won it in the end.

Haha what is sad is that you are probably in your 30's and comment like that on a sports forum. Anyways, yeah, UW had a good season (like usual) and U of M had a good season as well. If Trevor played the U would have been in the tournament no doubt! I am a fan of both and I could care less if you believe me or not.

Being a fan of both Minnesota and Wisconsin is like being a fan of the Yankess and Redsox, Real Madrid and Barcelona, Auburn and Alabama, North Carolina and Duke, Michigan and Ohio State. Or if you want other comparisons: USSR and USA, communism and capitilism, Sparta and Athens, Creationism and Evolution.

I am a fan of both Duke and UNC, I enjoy watching good basketball. I do not believe in these fairytale rivalries that make us choose a certain side to root for...I root for good, competitive basketball!

So you're a basketball fan, not a fan of the specific teams. VERY different.
 

I'm a fan of the Gophers and I wanted the Badgers to win. I cheer for all the B1G schools and loved it when Duke and Missouri got beat. A lot of teams may have gotten lucky...Syracuse got lucky to win their first round game...bottom line is that they won. There were a lot of bad calls that went against Wisconsin earlier in the game also, like the charge when they said that Taylor was inside the circle when he was at least a foot outside of it. Wisconsin didn't win because of the refs....they beat a team that was a preseason top 10 team....good win and good job!!! Now go beat Syracuse.

It was an ultra bad call. The guy was practically getting molested. But it did not necessarily give wisconsin the win either.

There were some horrible calls both ways. The should-have-been charge that was called a block at the end of the first half, for instance, was a horrible call against the Badgers. The ref thought JT was in the semicircle, but in reality he was a solid 8 inches outside it.
 


Wisconsin has a great shot to beat Syracuse. The performance by Kansas State was one of the worst by any team yesterday, and they were still in the game with the Cuse for a half. Syracuse will struggle mightily with Wisconsin. I like UW's odds of getting to the Elite 8, but I really hope they don't go any farther than that :)

Never said there wasn't, just responding to his comments. I don't think it's the reason why Wisconsin won, but it surely was a very bad non-call late in the game.

Yeah, that should have been a foul. I agree.

That was my point. Guy got mugged and got the foul called on him? Better arm bar than in some of the NCAA wrestling matches.
Main point was that the Big Ten is kicking butt in the tourney. Dramond Green is a pleasure to watch. A great player and leader.
