Wisconsin is a Top 20 team. Going 8-3 in the conference is all that needs to be said.

Situational for me(ie who were playing) but normally I would
fouling in that situation is sensible from a coaching standpoint but i hate it as far as entertainment value.
You foul in that situation every. damn. time.

Ahhh my Badgers. Its such a love/hate relationship. Sometimes they play like a number 1 team. But other times they make stupid ass mistakes that make me wanna scream.
Awesome shot by Brust.

Add that to the one Gasser hit last year.
Gonzaga current record for ranking is #3, someone here said they'd never get #1 when I asked if they ever were ranked #1, with the top 5 shitting the bed this week. I dont think its impossibly another week or 2 if the top shit some more that Gonzaga actually gets to #1, unless the voters vote someone behind them to jump them.

Love this pic.
Wiggins + Hicks would be a hell of a pair to bring in. Instant contributors. Not getting my hopes up about Wiggins though.
Miami looks so happy.

Miami's going to win the ACC in basketball. Shit makes no sense. (won't go undefeated, Duke will beat them at CIS but by then it wont matter)
Also, has any player ever hurt his draft status more by coming back than JMM?
Top 5 to not mentioned at all.

the idiot GM that would've drafted JMM is thanking the stars he didn't go pro. what a fucking bum. the competition for his high school must be complete ass.
also Miami is gonna win the ACC in bball, before football. think about that.
edit: add these to the list of sick alts we'll never see again cause we got dumptrucked.
i still don't like the NC in the center (front), but i really think nike was on to something here as far as updating our jerseys. stretch the argyle all the way up the sides and that's a winner imo.

UNC is straight up bad this year.
i look forward to the game at HIS on wed.
pretty sure duke will be up something like 15-5 by the first tv time out because our starting lineup sucks at basketball.
then PJ will come in and it a few 3s and get yanked for making one bad play.
then we get to see roy play musical chairs w/ the lineup.
and by the end of it we'll be looking at a 20+ loss.
plumlee 2 will probably have some ungodly statline. 25/15/5.
quinn cook is gonna TORCH paige.

lololol they lost to Texas.
Texas is straight up ass, not even Kabongo will save them.
Man, the SEC is so lame this year. These teams that know they don't have the talent to match up with Kentucky come in and just muck up the game. Shoving every play, pushing after the whistle. One kid on Auburn got ejected for throwing a punch :lol shit is garbage to watch. Oh well. It works I think for the most part, Kentucky wilts sometimes when it gets physical.
Edit: another flagrant on Auburn. Intentional on a fast break :lol

Bo can't win outside the B1G, which is why they aren't ranked.
They look really good in conference play this year, and considering the strength of the conference I'd rank them. But based on past events, I predict a first weekend exit from the NCAAs.
Da U writing a lot of checks this year that they won't be able to cash next.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore. At least you have beaten them in football. We can't even do that. Seeing how those NCAA sanctions didn't prevent you from landing the number 18 class, even with scholarship reductions, it high time to rich Duke alumni pony up for football as well.
Probably but shit, its a fun ride now. Haven't missed a home ACC game yet.
Just a symptom of the terrible officiating that is ruining college basketball. Constantly rewarding overly physical play, allowing defenders to restrict offensive player's movements, rewarding flops with charge calls and refusing to call any loose ball fouls at all.
Then when the game gets chippy, they start calling bullshit tickytack handcheck and reach in fouls while still allowing total hacking and grabbing on the inside.
College basketball really needs better refs. It's so obvious when you see a game where the refs call the fouls instead of trying to call a game even or worrying about putting a team at a disadvantage by calling multiple fouls on a key player early. Tightly called games from the start are so much more entertaining to watch.
The 'let them play and don't call fouls because it slows the game down' argument doesn't work, it just encourages teams to foul even more so you end up with the same number of fouls called but way more fouls that go uncalled allowing defenses to hack and grab at will, and it's why offense in college basketball is at it's lowest point in 60 years.
The shot clock needs to be lowered and we need refs who will do their job and call fouls instead of 'rewarding hustle' or whatever bullshit reason they give for allowing players to hack and grab and flop all over the court.
We're gonna lose at ISU. and most likely against K-state..
Indeed. Calling handchecks one time down court. Not calling tackles in the paint the next.
Besides the shot clock needing to be reduced (and fouls on the floor reseting like jumps) the refs are as big a reason of the problem scoring.
like the avatar. but yeah the situation is dire
This makes total sense really after watching the game today. It got chippy because they were "letting them play" but that just evolved into a parade of fouls. And is probably what caused guys to get heated to the point where they were intentionally grabbing guys and throwing punches on boxouts.
