    Pretty excited to see Milan Momcilovic the hometown kid in the tourny. That boy can really shoot and may be going to the NBA next year.

      And for some reason Greg Gard really never pursued him
      TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

        The scuttlebutt around Pewaukee is none of the kids want to play their because they want to play in the NBA. Whether that's true or just sour grapes I have no idea.

          Wisconsin and Michigan St. both win. That assures Michigan St. is in. Wisconsin is already in. Marquette beating Villanova could knock Villanova out. Villanova was considered just out. Marquette will probably be a 2 or 3 seed in the tournament.

            Looks like Big Ten will get 5 in the NCAA. Purdue, Illinois, Michigan St, Nebraska and Wisconsin. Not a banner year for the conference. Wisconsin actually looking pretty good right now. Getting some bench production they weren't getting earlier.

              I'd be surprised if Indiana doesn't get in, as they finished strong (until tonight) and have 19 wins. And Ohio State has 20 wins. They should make too. Iowa also has 19 wins and would be close too.
              What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                Actually 6. Forgot about Northwestern. Iowa, Ohio St. and Indiana all needed to do better in the Big 10 Tournament to get in.

                  hahahaha Northwestern is easy to forget. I did too. They're worse than a LOT of the teams with worse records. Collins, their coach, is a clone of Izzo - foul a hundred times, get call for twenty or so, and have the officials call them closer on the opponent to keep the numbers close. Fortunately, the Badgers beat them anyway, similar to how they overcame horrible officiating in favor of Purdue.

                  I'm expecting 7, maybe even 8 or 9 Big Ten teams will get in - I guess we'll know tomorrow afternoon.

                    You will be disappointed. Big Ten just isn't that good this year. And some upsets, like N.C. State, who would not have been in, winning the ACC tournament will make it harder to get another Big Ten team in.

                      The whole country isn't that good this year, which makes it a good year for a team like the Badgers to run the table. A lot of the teams ranked so high earlier dropped a lot Kansas, Gonzaga, etc. Duke and Kentucky both went out early in their conference tournaments, etc. It's been a weird year. The presumed #1 overall lost by 28 points yesterday. Yes, I will be very disappointed - make that pissed off - if at least 7 Big Ten teams don't get in.

                        Looks like 6 teams made it.
                        But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                          As expected. Iowa, Ohio State and Indiana had an outside chance if they made a run in Big 10 tournament. But none made it past the quarterfinals.

                            I did my brackets for this year, both the ESPN one and the one in Facebook. Naturally I picked the Badgers to win it all. If that happens, I should win $25k on the one and $30k on the other.

                            I'm also predicting the sun to go dark for a while on the day the Badgers win it.
