I know how this ends

Apparently not.

Nice win for the Bucks, CJ Walker came back and looked a bit more aggressive, which is good. Badgers were ice cold from three, which helped the cause.

You missed a game in between this one and the game last weekend.  You know, just as a FYI....

[Brutus Buckeye]

Yeah I only do the wins, and I miss some of them too.

many top 25 teams upset today

guessing Florida St will move into the poll

It certainly seems like this year is a bunch of random results, with only Gonzaga, Baylor, and maybe Michigan and Villanova being legitimately good. Everyone else is just whatever

crazy season, similar to football

Eh?  Is it?

I don't think we'll get a Final 4 of Duke, Kentucky, UCLA and Kansas, which is basically what football gave us.  Hell, the biggest names are the ones doing the worst

It is weird. Prior to the PU and UW games I would have ranked the likelihood of outcomes as:

• Win vs PU, lose at UW
• Lose both
• Win both
• Lose vs PU, win at UW

[ELA]

Uh oh

That OSU game was unpleasant. UW made a mess of things on offense, just not great (also that one stupid call). 

UW even forced generally a lot of the shots they want, and OSU just hit em. The Buckeyes were 59.5 percent on 2s, 71 percent on 2s outside the paint. I'd be more mad, but not much counter to that.

That's probably the special sauce in OSU's offense - they are too small to consistently bang in the paint and at least early in the season weren't shooting the three well, but Liddell's midrange game carried them through.  Seth Towns has some old man game too.
