if Fernando would have put some weight on that foot he would have been called, he obviously pulled up

no blood, no foul

Then, what worries me, is always the last irate "no-call" a coach goes off about, and the calls seem to go the other way, making the game closer.

And that was a clean block on Ayala....SMH

[mcwterps1]

I guess I'll stop. Looks like they "made up for" the first half.

Refs were terrible on both sides tonight.

I'm glad they can still hug each other out there. 

Into the blender for Maryland.  What a brutal stretch upcoming.

UW is playing better, and leads by only 1. 

I dislike this.

Is this a "stir the pot" post?
Did I direct some ill will towards you?

Nothing personal... Just thought your response was incongruous with the happenings on the court.
I'd offer you a chill pill, but I'm a Boilermaker fan, so I ran out of those around December lol.

Season's done. Besides this team being unable to make layups and dunks, they shoot way too many 3's, and they're not a 3 point shooting team, Mark yelled at the refs a while ago and told them that loss was on them.

Well, now they're getting their revenge.

Maryland players getting hacked and no calls, best players getting ghost fouls quickly to take them out of games.

More convinced now that the refs are spiteful and steer games.


Crooked lot.

This taps into something I find fascinating, which is how crazy being in the middle of a game makes us.
Looking at that first paragraph, Maryland can't finish inside, but also shouldn't shoot 3s because it can't, but shoots too many. Right now the Terps are 64th in 3-point shooting, but are 244th in how often they take them, so the probably should shoot more. They're bad at 2s, though that's most on Ayala and Wiggins, a little on Cowan. 
Anyway, they'll likely win 20-plus games, go to the dance. Should be a good time.

UW is 5-20 from inside the arc. All but one are inside the key and below the top of the charge circle.

If UW rolls in a few, it could be in good shape. If Minnesota removes its head from its backside, the hosts will take this one.

Brad Davison is still a punk. Big Jim needs to park him for a game.

That game was awful. Wisconsin came in with a profile of great D, kinda so-so offense. This didn't help.


But UW won. And that means 17 wins. And that's big. Ill and PSU at home mean 19 and the dance is all but guaranteed. If they can handle Iowa at home and NW on the road, 21 is there. Then there's the trio of at OSU, at IU and MSU at home, which all see toss-up-y.

I expect a loss on Saturday. After that, UW will be favored, often slightly, the rest of the way. Should be weird.

I didn't think they would win last night, so I'm pleased.
