Hunter Dickinson tried to kick a guy in the face last night, he has to be the easiest player to hate in Big Ten history

Maybe his coach needs to reign him in. Oh wait...

He was too busy yelling at his own players to "not f***ing touch him," lucky he didn't punch one of them too apparently for touching him

That changes my perception of Wisconsin's win at Iowa:It looks like maybe UW>IA should be attributed to Iowa being terrible in their current state.

It shouldn't. Rivalry game on the road versus a supposed tune up during finals before Christmas are two very different things.

UW's last day for finals is today, and they play Grambling tomorrow. I fully expect a dog fight.

That is why they play the games.

I'm honestly shocked he still has a job. He's a complete tool.

I didn't see the Iowa game last night. Where was Fran at on this meter?

I do think overall that Wisconsin should probably move up a tier, I just don't want to read too much into one game (UW>IA) especially considering Iowa's performance in their next game.

As stated upthread, have your arguments ready for January 9. I'm planning to wait until then to rearrange the tiers so that we get a few league games worth of data first.

Between now and then the Badgers have two tune-ups, a home game against an awful Minnesota team, and a road game at Illinois.

Iowa without Kris Murray is a totally different team.  Lost to Wisconsin, now losing at home to Eastern Illinois

And now Minnesota only up 1 on Chicago State, perenially one of the worst teams in college basketball, at home with 2 minutes left

Tomorrow's tune-up is cancelled and will not be rescheduled.

Top-4 finish in the B1G would be wonderful. I think they can pull that off, with only one more solid contributor stepping up. Maybe Neith is that guy. He's been out sick, apparently?? Has not played in over a month now.

Greg Gard says he is done for the season. I'm now thinking he's done, period.

Ha, I read this as these being the two tune ups, and my only objection was going to be calling Illinois a tune up.  Minnesota is truly horrible

Giving away Brad Davison’s title so fast, are we?

Is it me or does Illinois have inordinately too much trouble with Mizzou in both basketball and football?

Not a banner 24 hours for the Big Ten West

Eh, he was a pest.  Everyone has a Brad Davison or Foster Loyer laying around
