I cursed them by watching the second half.  Again, maybe the fourth of 5th time I have seen them. 

They validated what I have seen before.  They are  really bad basketball team. No interior defense, sloppy, unorganized and prone to long spells with no energy.   

Not sure how they won as many games as they did?

Correct call, but tough break for Nebraska

I will never understand the appeal of Gus Johnson.
It's the Dick Vitale trajectory.  Energetic, but genuine broadcaster; who becomes a phony caricature of himself.

Followed by a very obviously incorrect call

Nebraska then takes a soft T, for looking at the ref after ignoring yet another Wisconsin foul.  This is bordering on comical

Tough?

I think even Duke would be embarrassed to get a whistle this friendly.  I flipped back to the MVC Championship, the game in Madison is as close to a fix as you'll see.  They literally overturned a correct call to call a foul against Nebraska, then ignored an obvious hack, then T'd up the Nebraska player for glancing at him after he ignored it.  I admire your restraint.  What is going against Nebraska is what mwc claimed went against Maryland every game

Gonna be an interesting postgame in Madison. Davis may have done some thing to his knee.

Thanks but I think you have it backwards. Michigan has possibly the highest ceiling in the league but they rarely play anywhere close to it. If they do, they are definitely capable of a big run. I agree, however, that it is highly unlikely. 
Michigan doesn’t have the defense to make a run. Additionally, they try to force too much of their offense through Dickinson. Terrance Williams II should be on the court more than he is and I personally think they play Diabate too much. He’s both a liability on defense and struggles to finish offensively. I’ve never seen a 6’11” guy avoid dunking to shoot layups more than Moussa.

osu depends on their health. If they are healthy, they’re talented enough to make some noise, but not deep enough to be missing a couple guys.

Wisconsin: Highly intent on displaying most of the behavior that matches the dissonance in their computer rankings, but not the main one, which is losing.

They definitely have the most NBA talent in the league, perhaps by far.  The problem is it's young.  Diabate has been emerging recently, although I thought he'd be a better defender.  If they keep getting this from Jones and Williams, I think they are a 2nd weekend team
