Plus the kid has a bad attitude and it's really holding him back. He could be a star if he even gave a little effort, he disappears for long periods in games.

OSU @ Wisky in 40 mins

 

[MI Nightmare]

Wisky may want to get a guard's hand in Della Valle's face...

Pretty tight game: OSU 19 ... Wisky 22 at the 7 minute mark in the 1st.

Good finish in Madison

I'm done with this shit. There's no other way to say it than these guys are awful. Has there even been a duo of players who have regressed mid-season like Dekker and Kaminsky this year?

 

[LoftonPack80]

I never thought Wisconsin was that good to begin with. Alot of smoke and mirrors in that 16-0 start.

 

[MI Nightmare]

That effort at the end was......pathetic. Wisconsin is lost.

Barring a miracle and alot of help Bo Ryans streak of never finishing lower than 4th is coming to an end

Not really. When a team goes from making 42% of threes for 16 games to going 32-122 shooting wide open threes, a team has regressed. As shitty as the defense has been, if they could just make open threes like they consistently did for more than half of the season, they'd be 21-1 right now.

C'mon Gophers go on a run. NW shooting it well from 3 right now, and Minnesota can't buy a 3 right now.

Madtown Badgers (Wisconsin blog):

If there is a team that is in a worse free-fall than Wisconsin it is Ohio State. The Buckeyes come in to the Kohl Center having lost five of their last six games, including a loss on Wednesday at home to Penn State
Prediction: Wisconsin 78, Ohio State 72

If there’s a team in a worse tailspin than Ohio State, it’s Illinois. The Fighting Illini were 13-2 and in the Top 25 two weeks ago but have lost their past four games (now Illinois has lost their last 6 straight)

Next up: Iowa, tonight

"Illinois Free Falling...Illinois continues it's free fall...Groce's squad desperately needs wins...if Illinois cannot pick up a win at home versus Iowa this week that might be all she wrote for this year's Illini."

I see State pulled their ugliest freakin' uniforms from the closet tonight, for the big match-up at MSG.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

wow.

 

[MI Nightmare]

Remember when the Hoyas were good?

Georgetown with 10 turnovers in the 1st half and Sparty has a 1 point lead.

Northwestern is a freakin' road warrior.

 

[MI Nightmare]

What will Izzo's excuse be tonight....

 

[MI Nightmare]

Well, this is an opportune time for Michigan to make a move in the human polls. Of course, we have to win first.

Hey Iowa, keep up!

 

[MI Nightmare]

Nice little run for Iowa. The Illini are definitely making them earn it.
