Sarcasm - what he only took 7 steps, what do you mean it's traveling? /s

Another good win for the Bucks, who only played six guys in the second half. A little worried they are going to run out of gas if they don't get some guys back.

Michigan missed a lot of bad shots and Ohio State made a lot of bad shots. Very frustrating game all around. Livers had an awful game for whatever reason.

Hopefully they just forget this game and regain their confidence against Nebraska.

Flipped over to BTN after the final in Columbus, waiting for MN@UW. Saw the end of the toilet bowl in Lincoln. 

They brought up a crazy stat. No team in history has ever shot <30% from the free throw line when taking 30 or more attempts. Until today.

Nebraska was 8 of 30 from the line. 

Congrats, Nebrasketball, on making history !

the Mayor needs talent

Or transfers.

[FearlessF]

any and all ways to find kids that can shoot

8 of 30 from the stripe?  shouldn't be on a Big Ten roster

That game was very unpleasant, but UW won, so that was super.

It's Minnesota's championship game when they play the Badgers. In the end it worked out fine. 19-10 looks pretty good.

They'd probably be 24-5 if the NCAA wasn't so damn idiotic.

I might not give them all the losses when he was out, but at least three, probably four ... maybe five.

So UW is in an interesting spot re: schedule. 

They should win Wednesday, which means that entering the weekend, they will at worst be playing for a tie for second, maybe be playing for a banner if Maryland were to take a loss at the RAC (sitting at a 48 percent chance of victory at this point). 

What's interesting is Wisconsin and IU play the first game of the weekend, which means they'll be in the clubhouse and watching everyone else to figure out how things fall. UW is given a 44 percent chance to win at Indiana, and the Hoosiers are a tough read of late. 

[847badgerfan]

I'd really like to see them get off that 8-9 line and get to the 7, or even 6. Not sure 6 is possible without a run to Saturday in the B1G tourney.

For all the joking about OSU being a terrible January team, the month by month adjusted efficiencies are incredibly stark

It is crazy how bad the Buckeyes were in January compared to November, December, and February. 

Looking at that chart the January Buckeyes were not even a tournament team while the rest of the year they have been no worse than a two-seed.
