I Hate How Lucky Wisconsin Is

And before anyone says, "Well they are a good team", think about this. Good teams don't score 32 points in 38 mins vs Rutgers!

3 out of their 4 last games, penn state excluded, they were losing late. Only to have the other team flat out choke and not be able to score. Rutgers missed 4 fts in the last min of game play. Make even one of those and Wisconsin loses.

I honestly think Wisconsin will lose 2 or 3 games at the end of February, but I'm so tired of everyone saying Wisconsin is the class of the conference.

Don't know if I've heard anyone call them the class of the conference, but they have been in 1st place from day 1. They just keep winning.

Yeah, those missed free throws were huge. Can't believe Wisky pulled it out. They were fortunate.

I also hate watching Minnesota and Iowa play like complete dogshit since they played Purdue. How about using a win against a solid top #20 team to gain confidence and be a springboard? No, they'd rather use it to validate their entire season and just check out the rest of the way. F both teams. Hope they enjoy watching the postseason.

Law of averages. Maybe their luck runs out eventually and they lose a couple? I haven't been impressed with whisky this year. Part of the problem with a lot of the voters or even the selection committee is that they don't watch all the games. Def not an impressive team today but im sure they will move up in rankings next week based on simple wins/losses above them.

Florida State lost twice, North Carolina lost, Notre Dame lost.....Wisconsin will probably move up a spot or two. Eventually though, that kind of play on offense will catch up to a team....depends upon the opponent, though to take advantage of it. Wisconsin has experienced players, and they do a good job of executing on crucial possessions. Their record is about what I expected, but admittedly, they have not been as impressive as I thought they would be, except for Happ. Hayes and Koenig have been up and down.

Oh....and Maryland takes control down the stretch to hand the Gophers a fifth straight loss. No help for the Boilers today.

Remember how mediocre that Wisconsin team was that beat PU in the Elite 8? Was the 3rd time Wisky beat PU that year. 1999/2000 I think. gene's best chance to get to a Final 4, sigh.

2000 West Regional @ the Pit in Albuquerque. 8-seed v 6-seed. Wisconsin did beat the top-seed Arizona and 4-seed LSU before knocking off the Boilers. One of those opportunities where the bracket really opened up.

Yes I remember that mugging. Unfortunately.

Purdue and Wisconsin split that year in the regular season and then Wisconsin won when they faced off in the B1G tournament.

Bennet the Senior's aggressive defensive style. That team would have gone nowhere with today's rules.

 

[areshound]

We showed how to beat Wiskie... stop Koenig and they flutter.

 

[BoilerNGold013]

That minn loss just looks worse and worse every single day.

 

[ghost_of_d.]

#6 FSU, #9 UNC, #11 Butler, and #14 Notre Dame all lost today. #10 Oregon is down by 10 with 3 minutes left.

Wisconsin will jump at least 3 spots, and perhaps 4 or 5. Pretty good for a team that took 30+ minutes to crack 40 points against Michigan and Rutgers.

I also hate it. Badgers are not a top 20 team.

They look like garbage every time I watch them. I hate watching them - they play the ugliest basketball. Wouldn't that be easy to recruit against? They turn basketball back 80 years.

I was really frustrated yesterday, as I watched the entirety of the Maryland and Wisconsin games.

Those two games are on us and the crappy line-ups we ended both games with. We should have won both games.

Rather have MD and Wisky keep winning!(especially when we beat MD) Looks good for the conference and our seeding come tourney time!
