Holy crap - that was some insane "never give up" defense by the MSU player on the fast break when everyone else was frozen because they thought it went out of bounds.

EDIT - it was actually goaltending, though - the layup had already hit the backboard

It was still a hell of a play though.

Sparty pissing this down their legs.

We're totally going to get shafted out of a 3 seed aren't we? I can already see the committee ignoring our injuries and the fact Wisconsin was blown out by Penn St at home not even a week ago.

Conference tournament doesn't matter. At least that's what I was told last year

Yeah, we'll see. I wouldn't put it past them to move the goalposts this year on us.

IMO - The only logical solution is to keep both UNC & Texas out

That seems like a wonderful solution!

Last year they didnt matter, this year they do! Just accept we are getting a 4 seed in Denver with a Thursday morning game.

Ive secretly wanted a morning game in Denver for a while, i know its weird but i got a good feelin about that slot. Hoping for West region.

Do you live out west?

This Sparty game is entertaining, if it holds Congrats @WooBadger18 . @FriendlySpartan what the heck?
Also that foul on Sparty was week.

no

I do see Jerry palm has us in Denver with Purdue, Drake and High Point. I am a little sick of being scared to play people, minus UCONN last year, but then we come out a disaster missing bunnies vs Illinois, looking like a nervous mess.

Actually that is likely the night slot if that holds.

I’d look at the bracket matrix site and click ‘rankings’ at the top and see who is the best at this over the past few years.

Ball don't lie

 

[rosshm16]

Clean block for the Badgers but man that is a risky play on the ball.

 

[Cyclones8824]

That’s all ball. What a play from Tonje!
