Weber gets a TO. He must have said something really bad, or just the refs hate him because I didnt really see him do anything.

 

Tim Jarmusz playing his first meaningful minutes (meaningful as in the game isnt out of hand yet) and he gets a rebound.

 

Randle injured his arm on a screen earlier.

 

Strange game, and why does Bo have to keep Bohannon on the bench to start. Yes I know he likes to use the same starting line up, but every game Wisconsin gets off to a slow start when hes on the bench. His range and ability to drive makes space for everyone.

Why so many black shirts in the orange krush tonight? Looked like almost half of the students had black chief tees on, I don't think I've ever seen that. Anyways, it was a loss both of talent and karma tonight. When the perpetrator of a felony that led to a teammate getting critically injured lasts longer in a program than the said injured teammate, you deserve bad things to happen to your program. Thanks Bruce Weber. :stupid

 

And in other news, people are finally seeing the very obvious way to beat Duke. Collins and Asbury at the forwards with 26 and 15 tonight (although McClinton was good in the backcourt as well), the game after Skeen had 10 and 9 and Johnson had 24 and 16 (although again, Teague was really good with 26). If your patient with the bigs and have one good guard, Duke is very beatable. I would be shocked if they get past the Sweet 16, and that win probably got DA U in the dance.

Here is my Big Ten Prediction (First with my head, then with my heart):

 

1. Purdue (Wins out)

2. Wisconsin (loses 1)

2. Indiana (loses 1)

4. MSU (loses 2)

 

In the Big 10 tournament Purdue would be the #1 seed, Wisconsin #2 seed because of head to head. Not that it really matters as im pretty sure that the game is being played in Indiana this year.

 

Here is my heart prediction:

 

1. Wisconsin (wins out)

2. Purdue (loses 1)

2. Indiana (loses 1)

4. MSU (loses 2)

 

If Purdue and Wisconsin tie it will be so bitter because all Wisconsin had to do was protect home court.

Nebraska fans rushed the court after beating #25 K-State. Amazing.

 

Pitiful. First of all, there's maybe a couple hundred of them. Secondly, it's the #25 team. Third, it's Kansas f***ing State. That whole damn state is messed up.

Interesting they burned his redshirt season. I don't blame them.

 

It would've been tough for Crean to say "no" to him, you know? Kid tears his ACL (IIRC) in the pre-season and works his ass off to get back on the court within an amazingly short amount of time, and you're going to tell him that he's going to have to watch the final five games of the regular season, the Big East tournament as well as the NCAAs (hopefully -- I think we need at least two more BE wins to guarantee a spot)? If Crean tells him no, he'd also be risking pissing Mbakwe off (thank God Tubby Smith came a year late, as who knows if Crean still grabs him if Tubby was at Minny) to the point of transfering.

 

Damn did he play well tonight. He was challenged one time in the post and took a charge (probably flopped a bit but whatever, play to the refs), went up strong when he got the ball on offense and grabbed some real nice rebounds. He's immediately become our most competent big man.

 

Gun to your head here, fathom -- Marquette wins X amount of games (if they get a bid) in the NCAAs this year.

We're honestly like a top 20 team at home and a bottom 200 team on the road. It's absolutely ridiculous.

 

I know, its night and day. The reason I think the Salukis have such a good shot at Arch Madness is because of their home court advantage.

Yup, it'll be nice to have the most fans there. As I told you before I really think it'll be us or Bradley with a lean towards BU right now. Can't count CU out either as Altman has pretty much owned that tournament but I just don't think they'll pull it off. I really, really don't think it's going to be Drake though, their style of play isn't exactly ideal for winning 3 games in 3 days.

 

Anyways, I'm very interested to see how we play on Tuesday at BU(obviously we have Nevada first but it's at home). I already have it down as a L but if we do win, we might actually be turning that corner. But this team has let me down way too much, so I'm expecting another one.

2, but then face a team with a big man (maybe UCLA in a 1 vs 4 game). At least McNeal and James seem to be getting out of their funk.

Chester Taylor with 13 REB? What, did Pruitt hoist him up on his shoulders?

 

chester frazier has always been a good rebounder despite his size. he has a good nose for the ball, although i wish he'd trade his rebounding for a jumper.
