he's pretty good

He's very good.  Best player in the Big Ten

MSU stuck their two freshman on Wagler the whole night.  He is very good, but he forced stuff.  Wound up 2-16 from the floor with 3 assists and 3 TOs.  He got to the line 12 times, which is how he got to 16 points.  Very efficient team, only 4 turnovers.  But if you force the ball out of Wagler's hand, they have limited guys who can hurt you off the dribble.

I'm not there, because the data isn't there, but I almost think we drop Illinois down with MSU and Nebraska.  I think Michigan is on their own tier, and the Wisconsin loss is a fluke

The Badgers got screwed.

Gard:

“I haven’t seen the second one, but the one there at the end, I have never seen anything like that. I mean, I don’t know. They are trying to foul, they actually fouled us three times coming up the floor and did not call that. Our offense was driving away from the basket.

So, I will get more clarification, but I have never seen that type of call before. But, I guess there is a first for everything.”

On if he felt the last few seconds were consistent with the rest of the game

“No. No. It is a hard game to ref, but that wasn’t a hard call.”

This is only one example.

the reason winning on the road is tough

No ball handlers.  Nobody even close

Bags, sand, etc. 

(this is said with joking friendliness. Nice win)

That turned out to be a good call. Blackwell stepped on his foot. But the charge was questionable.

Before Blackwell stepped on his foot, Blackwell was tripped (no call), which caused the step on the foot.

It was not a good call. It was terrible.

The Badgers didn’t shoot a free throw until there were 12:40 left in the game.

huskers got similar treatment in Ann Arbor (is a whore)

It was a "house money game" but I wish the Buckeyes would at least have kept it close, they were actually closer in Ann Arbor a couple weeks ago.
