Wisconsin was one of the hottest teams in the country at the time.

So put a peepee in your mouth and swallow.

We just ran head first into a freight train tonight. Need to make a little run and hang within 6 or 7 before half.

Shields is a ghost.

Getting ready to turn this one off

Last night was a great building block for next year.

Go back to the original defensive game plan. If they continue the shoot like they did in the 1st 12 mins, hats off to them. Giving up drives and leaving their bigs wide open, certainly isnt going to work. If they go cold from deep, its not as though we are having a horrible offensive night.

Well their version of "going cold" right now would be to only miss every other 3 pointer.

Like you said last night, when Nebraska falls into a hole like this, they've shown the ability to claw their way back, but just don't have anything left in the tank to close it out. So even if they do close the gap, it's too late.

Hell of an effort to get back within 6. They played their best basketball of the season this week. I hope they get an invite sunday night, I would love to watch them play some more.
