1 of 14 from the field, rough start for the Bucks.

Rutgers. OK then. OSU? WTF?





FU Marquette. Always, and forever, Goldies. Always.

That was a very quick collapse tonight.  They've somehow gone from overachieving to underachieving in like two weeks

Bucks shoot a scintillating 14 percent in the first half

Ohio State seems to have improved from dreadful to merely awful. If they can advance to bad they should be able to pull this out.

OSU got to 5 for one possession, but The Bucks seem content to trade baskets with NW, and when you start 10 down you stay 10 down for the game.

Remember when we had 10 tourney teams?  If Minnesota had finished off their gag last night, we might be down to 6 now.

Ugh!
Nevermind.

I am glad that I accidentally forgot to watch this game.

So the Badgers play Iowa tonight. Iowa has no Fran. Game is in Madison. Senior night. 4th place still on the line for UW. I will not be able to watch it.




Iowa should win then, no?

I have no doubt that the Kaleb Wesson suspension hurt but it doesn't explain the Buckeyes' inability to hit the broad side of a barn.  Woods and Washington combined for ~60 minutes and 26 points on 9-26 shooting (35%).  That is actually the good news.  Here are the stats for other guys who played significant minutes:

• 30 mins, A. Wesson, 2 points on 0-8 shooting with a turnover and 4 fouls.  
• 29 mins, L. Muhammad, 3 points on 0-4 shooting with two turnovers.  
• 26 mins, K. Young, 7 points on 3-5 shooting with three turnovers and three fouls.
• 25 mins, C.J. Jackson, 9 points on 4-11 shooting with a turnover.  
• 23 mins, J. Aherns, 3 points on 1-7 shooting with a turnover.  

Overall the Buckeyes shot <27% and <16% from behind the arc.  That doesn't even rise to the level of pathetic.

Probably. This ending sets well for UW. Two super vulnerable teams. So naturally I won’t believe in wins til the final buzzer.

I think my ideal scenario for MSU is to win Saturday to win a share of the conference title, win Friday to avoid anything resembling a bad loss, and then get eliminated Saturday by either Maryland or Wisconsin and get ready for the tourney.

There's no possible way Iowa wins.  No way whatsoever.
