I was referring to the Wisconsin game

Sure...I was just commenting re:getting B1G teams in.

 

[Acylum]

That is a BAD loss for a team close to the bubble. Michigan losing to Illinois hurts their chances as well (should end them).

This is really going to be an interesting NCAA tournament for the B1g. I have a sneaking suspicion they’re better than advertised finally. I hope I’m wrong.

They have enough capable teams that can also slip up badly.

I'm not convinced the B12 will dominate overall.

I think it depends on seeding. Purdue is obviously the real deal, but then there are a bunch of good but not great teams.

Bucky can do this.

11-1 scoring run

Haven't gone to the line yet, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

 

[WooBadger18]

Well shoot. Still, good game, guys

Dammit. Yeah it was a good game. Walked right by Edey on the way out. He's tall.

They played their asses off.

 

[NoCreativity]

NIT incoming for Wisconsin.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Gophers just beat Rutgers at the buzzer.

Between this game, Iowa and MSU and even uni back in tourney against a&m it amazes me how a team could lose a double digit lead with a minute left or so. Take care of the ball, hit your free throws and your gold.

 

[Acylum]

UNI hanging around. Down 3 early 2nd half.

As was pointed out after ISU’s meltdown in Lubbock, if the Cyclones had just run down the shot clock on every possession in the last 12 minutes, it would have been impossible for Tech to come back and win. They wouldn’t have had to score, just limit possessions.

 

[KidSilverhair]

UNI hanging around. Down 3 early 2nd half.

Now UNI leads with under 8 to play. Bowen Born on his way to 30+ points.

 

[KidSilverhair]

Well, I assumed Born would easily make it to 30 but Bradley has shut him down over the last 6-7 minutes. He just gets to 30 with 2:21 left

Well he is at 30 with 2:21 to play. UNI down 3.

He's really forcing some shots. Surely their best option, but Bradley knows that too.

He’s just too small to be doing what he’s trying to do.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Yeah, I think he was repeatedly trying to drive into contact, and while there was contact, they weren't giving it to him.
