So many, many years ago, I was semi-active on Nebraska - Omaha's hockey team message board. At the time, they were in the same conference as Michigan, and it was tradition to post this video on game days. Not the exaxt same mascot, but close enough...

The guys better be ready to chuck it up from 3 again. You know they will sag off of George/Robert and now Gabe. That is going to really pack the lane and prevent any motion. This might be another game with 35-40 attempts from 3 point land.

Not expecting to win, but to totally flip what the in-state narrative was supposed to be according to the local media would be absolutely hilarious. If we could somehow pull this off, I’ll just stay awake until the local shows start up on KXNO tomorrow.

Jones may give WI fits. I'd love Jaz to hit a couple and force them to chase a bit.

If Tre gets out there, he would be able to find a shot much easier.

Could be different...I think WI by metrics would be in the middle or bottom of the B12 defensively and I'd be surprised if ISU doesn't at least get into the lane.

It never ends. The guys win tonight it will be:

....they didn't just play 4 games in 4 days
....only traveled a couple hundred miles instead of cross country, thanks JP
....played with familiar balls
....Wisconsin played their worst game of the season
....Davis was only at 10%
....and on and on and on

It never ends.

Excited for today. Feels like 100% house money after winning that first game (this entire season is house money but if you get there, you at least want to win a game). Way less nerves and more excitement for me today.

At least Wisconsin does have a more impressive resume/record. It’ll be less barf inducing when the broadcasters fixate on their awesomeness.

I’m still trying to figure out why we were some big underdog vs LSU? Big underdog because we had way less bad teams in our conference schedule and won one less game? Underdog because we were ranked #8 at end of non conf and LSU wasn’t even ranked? Stupid stuff.

Other than Hunter everybody can improve from first game. IB wasn’t even close to his best game.

Conversely WI will try to get Ty and Brock in foul trouble early with drives.

Davison is quite the actor for getting charge calls.

I agree with Tre if only for a spell or two. Unless Gabe is on. If Gabe hits a few then that changes everything. You know they are going to be in IB's and Hunter's face. So if someone else i.e. Grill, Tre or Kunc can knock down a few I think the guys are playing next week.

We win if:
IB is much more efficient
Gabe or Grill plays well
Tyrese plays good to great

House money at this point.

"Big underdog" in seeding-only. Anyone who pays attention knows that was more like a 7v10 or 8v9 game. (LSU was favored for wagering, but that's to be expected for a 6v11)

I won't claim I was confident ISU would win, given our inconsistent nature ... but winning was not a shock whatsoever.
