is bo ryan going to crouch all game or is he going to decide to COACH

hate to say it but this game is over

davidson is shooting ft the rest of the game....16 mins left....lovely

hughes is playing on one foot and it's obvious

why do load up on the big 10 when i cant stand this conf and think it's slightly better than high school?

:shrug:

You are going a little overboard here...

yes, davidson will win tonight. They'd beat ANY team in the country the way they are shooting.

Got to give credit where credit is due. NOBODY could beat a team shooting 55%, and 60% from 3 - and half their shots are from 3.

Give 'em credit. Great shooting game.

great shooting game....yes

but probably the worst performance i've seen from wisc all year on offense, defense and coaching.....right from the get go....NONE of them looked interested in being there at all, including the coach who's been a crouching mute the entire game.

I agree with you. I haven't recognized this team the whole game. It was obvious in the 1st half when all Butch wanted to do was shoot 3's, even though he was the biggest guy on the court.

Sad end to a suprisingly fun year...

peronally i think the big 10 is the worst of the major conf.......by far......however i thought wisc would have the defense today to stop davidson, as cinderellas usually bomb when they've had the week to accept all the congrats on their 2 wins and have to face a top notch team.....obviously wisc isnt that top notch team even though they were rated the #1 defensive team in the country ( like football this conf gets exposed when they get outside the conf in post-season)

That might be going a bit far.

Losing Hughes was big. Don't discount a great shooting night by Davidson. They only shoot 36% from 3 all year. They are playing well tonight - Wisky is shorthanded.

Basketball is much like poker - anything can happen in one game. Add a key injury and hot shooting by one team, and anyone can look bad.

But, I'll agree, Wisky as looked very bad tonight. A combination of poor Wisky play and great Davidson shooting.

Give Davidson credit - they played a great game. And Bo did not have Wisky ready to play.

Oh well. It's not life - it's only college basketball...

FYI - Wisky usually gets the SEC in bowls, where they more than hold their own. They lost this last year in a close game to Arkansas I believe, but beat Auburn the year before and GA the year before that.

And SEC is supposed to be the God of footballl.

Big 10 is not the best conference, no doubt, but not the worst either - in any sport.

Oh well....

well, in basketball they are by FAR the worst of the bcs conf (although the sec tried this year but ark vs ind told me everything).....and it's not close.

their middle to bottom feeders are horrible and the the lack of nba talent in the conf is a joke.

Ark beating Indy was an easy call. Indy quit when they lost their coach.

I still think the big ten is the best conference. They're just having an off night. :shrug:
