Soxbadger Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Wisconsin beats Texas in Austin. Texas has now lost both of its games to Big 10 teams. And Hughes didnt even play today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) Great finish and a nice win for Wisky and the Big Ten. Road wins against top 10 teams are not easy, especially without a key player. Soxbadger, I have a hypothetical for you. Based on the assumption you can only choose one and not both. Which trip does a Badger fan make? Austin for a matchup with the Top 10 Longhorns or Tampa for the Outback Bowl Where do the loyalties lie for most Badgers?

Soxbadger Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Well Im going to Tampa, and never even really considered going to Austin. But if Wisconsin was in the Sweet 16, and it was a time I could get days free or plane tickets, etc, then id probably go to that as well. For most Wisconsin fans, football comes first. When it was a possibility Wisconsin was going to the Alamo bowl people were talking about going to that and then seeing the basketball team. Not to mention Ive never been to a Wisconsin basketball game, but had season tickets to football... Even worse, Wisconsin has played in Chicago a few times and Ive never gone either.

Based on that, personally I think you should be banned from this thread until you attend a Badgers hoops game. All of this "info" you have been giving us is based on false pretenses. I'm deeply disappointed. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 If San Diego keeps up their hot shooting, Kentucky could be in for some trouble. 3 minutes left in the first half with San Diego up 31-28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is I had never seen IU play in Bloomington. I have seen them play in Indianapolis, Evansville, Louisville, Birmingham and Orlando for a total of about 10-12 games. That's 5 cities and 4 states for those keeping score at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Ha just messing. It'll be interesting to see how the distribution of minutes tonight, with us basically being at first strength for the first time this season tonight.

Palehosefan Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 (edited) In a few years Kentucky could be sitting 3rd all-time in wins. Kentucky - 1,948 + 5 = 1,953 UNC - 1,914 + 12 = 1,926 Kansas - 1,906 + 11 = 1,917 Edited December 29, 2007 by Palehosefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 29, 2007 -> 11:27 AM) IU plays its first game of the year with its full lineup tonight against Chicago State. Reserve forward/center Eli Holman is out with an injury, but he was only getting mop up minutes for the most part so I did not count him. Tonight will be the first time they have to find playing time for Gordon, Bassett, Crawford and Ratliff. Ellis will slide to the small forward spot where he was early in the year, so the two inside spots will have to be split between DJ, Mike White, DeAndre and Stemler. They'll have a legit 9-man rotation to use tonight. QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Dec 29, 2007 -> 03:13 PM) Ha just messing.
