Marquette in a tussle with Western Kentucky.
Texas A&M and Nebraska combine for 102 points in 1st half. 58-44 in favor of Texas A&M.
Badgers looking like they missed their wake up call early.
Damn your WI boyz playing bad. Will be a big upset.
At least Klesmit has showed up.
They are making their big comeback!
We can’t hang on to the ball tonight. This sucks watching them turn it over and over and over.
Looks like it ain’t happening guys. When is the last time WI lost in the first round?
12 seed looked to be in comfortable control all game
they lost as soon as the seedings were announced. james madison was happy as hell and wisconsin just sat there looking defeated already
Wisconsin looked unprepared in 1st halffor defensive intensity James Madison brought.
Badgers out. The fucking season is over. Fuck the God damned officials. Fuck God damned Tom Izzo for starting that crap style - foul literally hundreds of times, knowing they will only get called for 20 or so, and the God damned officials will call them closer on the other team to keep the number of fouls even. Sometimes the Badgers play good enough to overcome that shit, sometimes they don't. Tonight they didn't. Fuck the damn NCAA for enabling that shit and fuck the God damned lame-assed commentators who just say "good defense".
My favorite NBA player is Dennis Rodman and I was a “shutdown” defender playing hoops in my youth. Therefore, I actually dig that aggressive Izzo-style defense.
Watched the game from a poker room, and let’s be real, yo. Wisconsin couldn’t score if they were in a brothel with a million frogskins - credit to James Midison’s defense. And Wisconsin’s defense itself was as defenseless as 77 of the Mavs playing defense. I coulda defended better than any of the Badgers in this game, and I ain’t played hoops since I shut down Charles Darren in a pickup game on the Wisconsin-Stevens Point campus in 2004.
The better team won, I reckon and whatnot.
Btw, Tex, received and read your recent PM. Good post. Inspiring. :)
While the JM grabbed players consistently on drives and cuts, the Badgers failed to run a coherent offense. With a defense that collapsed on drives with aggressive help, they should have been positioning for the kick out three and cutting in behind the help defender while and looking for the pass on the drive.
Wahl should have been benched early in the second half.
Gard is not good at developing players and has taken the team down a notch from when he started with no sign of improvement. Is it a real risk a new coach will be worse? Absolutely. Do you take that risk? Yes.
9 out of 16 on Day 2.
