Now the Badgers won't have the chance to play a top 25 team for the rest of the regular season after the embarrassing losses by Northwestern and Maryland to bottom feeders of the BIG. After the top 3 teams in the BIG 12 lost I heard the announcers for another BIG 12 game say it's a estimate to how deep the BIG 12 is. I guess that's why Kansas can continue to lose but stay in the top 5 and Baylor stays in the top 10. Meanwhile, I guarantee Maryland won't be ranked in the top 25 next week and their seed will on Saturday will probably be a 6 or 7 seed. Northwestern will probably be like a 10 seed now.

Now Michigan is destroying MSU. The BIG will be lucky to have 5 teams make it this year.

So where the fuck is this most of the season. How can they play like this and then lay turds most of the season?

Northwestern really misses Lindsay

They didn't even have to play this well. Just play OK and they should've beaten the teams they were supposed to beat like VT, Ill, OSU, and Iowa. They would be in the tournament as a 7 seed right now if they just took care of business.

Who is number 10 for Michigan? I've caught him walking multiple times. When he does run he looks like he has shit in his pants.

Marquette better win today. That will give them a solid win to build their resume.

We lost.

Blew chance after chance.

Sad team

They were supposed to be our one quality win. Now all we have is Indiana who might not even make the damn tournament.

It was a dreadful day for the BIG today. All the higher RPI teams lost to lower RPI teams. Even if the Badgers win out they still won't even get a 1 seed anymore.

Well when the higher rated team loses the lower rated team moves up. I think the B10 currently has 13 teams in the top 100. So while they're aren't many top 25 type wins there also aren't any useless wins AND more importantly there aren't really any bad losses. Think Wisky has 12? Top 100 wins already

After the MSU loss there will only be 4 teams that Wisconsin can face that have an RPI of 50 or below. Those are what I consider tournament locks. That doesn't mean all the teams below them are useless but there are only 4 teams that Wisconsin can play that has a chance to improve their resume and the only team that would be considered a great win would be Purdue at this moment. I still think this conference is better than the SEC overall but after that if feels like the ACC, BIG 12 are all much better and then the PAC and Big East are a little better than us right now. Much of this is due to the fact that other than probably Wisconsin, Michigan, and maybe a couple other teams, many of these teams are young. So, at least the future is bright for some of these teams.

I don't think Wisconsin will lose another Big 10 game.

 

[rmilia1]

I don't think Wisconsin will lose another Big 10 game.

They're going to need to start shooting it better to have that be the case. Their defense has been really good but at some point a team or 2 is going to make shots against them so the Badgers will need to be able to do the same. I certainly think they won't lose more than 1 or 2 though and if they start shooting it they could run them all

 

[rmilia1]

Big game at Minnesota tonight. For league positioning and tourney hopes. Gophers really need this one

 

[Great Dayne]

I don't think Wisconsin will lose another Big 10 game.

Maybe in the regular season but you never know about the tournament. I thought @MSU would be our toughest game after @ Purdue until you guys stomped them.

It's gone from bad to worse over the last three games. I think the starters are shooting like 25% on jump shots over the last three games. That's just embarrassing and the fact that we win these games I think just displays how good our defense and post scoring is. If we get the jump shot just to an average of 40-45% that will be icing on the top. I think we have capable players with Bronson, Brevin (best shooter on the team finally getting minutes), Showalter, Trice, and Brown (worst shooting slump of his 4 year career). I believe once one person catches fire in a game the rest will hopefully join in and break out of this funk.

Gophs def on easy part of schedule

Iowa just simply overmatched

Its the gophers. We don't overmatch anyone. 13 point lead cut to 2 in fucking 2 minutes. Unreal. Here comes another fucking choke job. Christ.

 

[ericd7633]

Seriously how hard is it to break a 1-2-2 press? This is a fucking joke. Iowa's half court defense is atrocious and we can't manage to break this press. If we lose this game fire everyone.
