Wisconsin up 35-15 at #2 Maryland

[HenryMuto]

Wisconsin lost at home to Western Illinois (RPI 246)
Wisconsin lost at home to Milwauke (RPI 153)
Lost at home to Marquette

This team was once 9-9 and left for dead and if they win today would be 16-9 and in the NCAA tournament.

35-19

Big 10 is a joke this year, largely overrated.

Diamond Stone bitch slaps a kids head to the floor loud enough to be picked up by the mic, after he tackles and drives him into the baseline...and gets only a flagrant one?

WTF is a flagrant two then?

 

[Woodrow_Call_1998]

I can't believe the refs allowed Diamond Stone to stay in the game after that BS move he made. Should have been a damn flagrant 2

 

[zannmann]

Stone should have been tossed and suspended for future games. If tripping a ref gets 4 games, then slamming dudes head into the floor should be at least that.

 

[hotelblue]

wisconsin's a possession team and even though it's a 30 second shot clock it's going to be hard for um to come back from that deficit. 36-21 half time.

Everyone is a joke this year, largely overrated.

 

[hotelblue]

wisconsin been up dble digits basically the whole game. 56-45 with 4:30 minutes left.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Wisconsin really playing inspired after that idiot retired.

 

[CatPhight]

Looks like tortoise soup tonight - and the beat goes on for this season.

 

[SomeDudeCRO]

These are your 1 and 2 seeds for the year and there will be more games like this still... So yeah, if the cats manage to win out they will be in the conversation for a 1 seed, 2 at worst and rightfully so

 

[hotelblue]

hayes and koenig didn't even play that well. a weird result to say the least.

 

[them3ssiah10]

I have seen a couple of segments of Maryland from different games and I am not even close to being sold. They just look so average and if they didn't play in that slug of a big 10 they'd have a few more L's on that resume. Stone may be a handful for our bigs especially with his physical play, but outside that, we are the better team in the other positions.

 

[BigTenFour]

Maryland doesn't impress me. They lost their composure as the second half wound down. You beat Wisconsin by attacking the basket, not by continually jacking threes when you aren't shooting well. Or by jacking threes when you have a man advantage fast break.

I really hope Kentucky and Wisconsin get a chance to play again in the tournament now that Wisconsin just punched their ticket. Kentucky the #2 seed. Wisconsin the #10. Or #1 vs. #8. Same bracket. How about it?

 

[hotelblue]

i'm not sold on them but they actually match up ok with us imo. trimble is solid. he shot like crap the whole game, but then got his guys wide open looks all down the stretch and they couldn't hit a thing. it would be a good game i think on a neutral floor. cats win by 8 imo though.

 

[jrpross]

Until today I was disappointed we didn't go harder for Stone. Now I'd be embarrassed if he were on my team.

 

[Ben101er]

Best thing to happen to Wisc was the old curmudgeon giving up.

Yeah I'm glad we got Skal instead.

 

[kyjeff1]

Seems like every game Maryland plays comes down to the wire. This game shouldn't have been close.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Is there any team that stands above the pack this year?

No one is impressing. It's going to be a very interesting first weekend of the tournament.

 

[JerseyCat84]

Yeah I'm glad we got Skal instead.

One of the top 3 worst home losses this year.

 

[jrpross]

Yeah I'm glad we got Skal instead.

Haha. Ok, ok. Smartass.

Fried chicken is so much better!
