Credit to Wisconsin for getting away with it. But they undercut shooters so that everyone is afraid to land. And Ryan Evans travels all the fucking time.
Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
Thread title brings a smile the my face and warms my heart. I approve.
Honestly though, neither team deserved to win and Indiana should have just got a bye tomorrow. I just hope the Badgers can keep it close enough to be respectable
I hate that team so much. More than pretty much any program anywhere. Except MSU hockey under Ron Mason, which similarly clutched and grabbed and killed everything enjoyable about the sport they were playing.
At least OSU football and Izzo coached teams don't actively destroy the game.
Go whatever 12/13 gets Wisconsin. Do God's work.
EDIT: Also, assuming the favorites win tonight, I might honest to God be rooting for Ohio State to win this tournament. Yuck.
Go Hawkeyes.

Part of me doesn't want us to win this game because a) I don't want to watch them play Wisconsin, well . . . ever, and b) I feel pretty confident that we're a low 2 or very high 3 seed and we'll be largely unaffected by today's or tomorrow's outcome.
Also, "warming up" for the NCAAs by playing a game against Wisconsin, is like warming up for a piano concert by boxing.
In other Big Ten news, Bill Carmody was fired. Which makes me sad. I always liked him and felt awful the last couple years when they fell just short of the dance.

I think to the rest of the country, 'fuck Wisconsin' could apply to almost any sport because this is just how Badger athletics operate on a macro level. Basketball, football, hell, even the hockey team.
I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.
Yeah, with football I had no problem with the Barry Alvarez teams (except the year they went to the Rose instead of Ohio State because of dumb tie-breaks). It was always "Fuck Bret Bielema". Which it continues to be, just not at Wisconsin anymore.
I'm rooting for Ferris tomorrow, for what that's worth. Of course also Sparty, because Miami terrifies me. Related: SUCK IT, WESTERN MICHIGAN. WOOOOOOO

Hey look, more unwatchable basketball. Seriously, the NCAA needs to emphasize hand check rules in the offseason and make sure that shit gets called. There were points last night when Louisville had two hands on Michael Carter-Williams and nothing was called.

With beer. Lot and lots of beer
Can't CBS veto the result? We all would rather see Michigan-Indiana.

I would be fine with them not making anything
aww fuck, Dez Wells goes down
That's the kind of thing that'll get me to turn the TV back on.
Also, Iowa just fell apart for like 8 minutes, with a bid on the line and up 10.
They won't, and they'll cruise to the NIT title.
EDIT: Also why, in the end, for all its innumerable flaws, I will defend college sports to the death.
Edit: fyi, that was a 5 beer first half and 4 beer second half

And I'm rooting for Ohio State tomorrow.
DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO, BO RYAN?!?
I heart youuuuuu
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
Last 7 minutes was like 10 beers by itself, no?
Just about. Can't wait for the second round departure in the tournament
Huh.
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
