So.. I had a project coordination meeting today with the head architect on one of my jobs. Shame on me for taking a project with an architect who went to IIT (no sporting interest). Dammit. But, maybe it's good I didn't get to see it. On, Wisconsin!!

Can in interest you in a game where UW went up 13 after eight minutes, then let the lead dwindle and dwindle and played almost the whole second half within five points? There were also 17 UW turnovers. 
(He's probably a better hands-on person coming from a smaller school)

This offense has been missing these attempts by Livers. He's always had such a smooth shot.

I really love the idea of Michigan waking for the postseason again. 🤞

Heh. Glad I didn't see it.

Beware Iowa. No quit. Fran spooky.

I'm with you. Even now. But beware Beilein in the postseason, too. He's been the Big Ten's best at that phase since 2013. Weird how easily I forget that *every* year. Often underwhelming in the regular season (relatively), which I guess explains that cycle.

Xavier with 11 assists. 12 would have been a record. But speaking of records, Michigan now has it in terms of BTT wins - 9 consecutive. Gophers up next.

I know nobody cares, but the officiating in the Big East games tonight has been nuts.   Between the ejections and clamping down on every touch, the games have been brutal.   So many quick Ts, most on SH.  I know I can't hear what is said, but it's Stasi like. Gotta be 65 FTA already. Duke and UNC was a pleasure to watch.

over 80 FTAs now.  Too bad Howard has this wrist issue tonight.  He's missed 5.  I don't think he missed 35 all season.  He's a 90% shooter.

I was hoping for a Marquette win, actually. Far cry from the old Big East, eh? Do they still give 6 fouls? Back in the day (the early days) it seemed like they allowed 15 fouls. They played rough!! 


Is Bill Murray's son still coaching at Xavier? If so, I'm super-glad they lost.

Heh. Beilein is really good at his job. I had my doubts at first (like many did) but the patience has paid off.

some good hoops

The Badgers will need a lot more from Happ to beat MSU today. He didn't do much of anything yesterday. UW had to win without him. That's not going to work today.

[847badgerfan]

Looks so far like the Badgers are going to get torched today. That, combined with Rafferty and the MSU fans' constant "groan" might make this a short watch for me.
