Triple bye odds for Illini go up if Wisky drops here.
Oregon's gonna seal the deal
Wisconsin was awful tonight. Couldn't make shots, couldn't get stops, and kept losing the ball in the second half.
they just want to make sure it's a quad 2 loss for both Illinois and Michigan. that's their big ten legacy.
I'm starting to believe that this Wisconsin teams plays to their competition. we got teams of guys on this to figure it out.
Badgers lose
Wisconsin wins at Michigan and Illinois, then get outscored by 20 in the second half to lose at lowly Oregon? LOL, Gard.
14-45 from 3, and 45 of 66 attempts from 3 overall for Wisconsin.
16 points in the paint. And 16 free throws.
THAT. Is living and dying by the 3, friends.

Triple bye contenders likely down to 5 teams. If MSU loses at Purdue Thursday night, all but secures it for us.
Big ten basketball… good luck figuring it out!
Oregon with Bittle back had Purdue, on the road, had Purdue all but beat, they beat USC, just beat Wisconsin.......better not take them lightly when they come into town. The big guy makes an enormous difference.
We want MSU to win against Purdue. They can lose @Michigan if needed for the triple bye.
MSU only needs to lose one more game (assuming we don’t lose to Oregon / Maryland).

Well that’s the likely scenario tonight so yay!
@Indiana too
No, DePaul is not making the tournament unless they win the Big East tournament.
Maybe it is something in the Oregon water that makes coaches/teams dumb.
This team intentionally missed a free throw up by 2,
I actually agree with missing the free throw here... the odds of getting a full-court pass where the clock doesn't run to hit a 3 is much greater than a one-handed heave from full court. Time & score, though, when Duke did it against Butler in the title game, there was 3.6 left, and Hayward almost had it.
That said, if your players aren't trained in the situation enough to not run up to the shooter, then you're not capable of pulling if off.
Most likely you're right, but 9 wins, a 5th place finish, and a big upset win vs St John's or Villanova in the Big East tournament might be enough if the committee takes five.
They're about 50th in line for an at large bid right now, it's not anywhere close. The Big East isn't particularly close to even getting 4 teams in.
I would rather win tomorrow and have Purdue win tonight as we have the tie breaker with PU and gives MSU a 5th loss with @Michigan next week.

Yes, if you sort Torvik by Q1 & Q2 wins, they’re 82nd. They’re 0-5 in Q1A games, 1-6 in Q1 games, and 3-6 in Q2 games. 13-15 Minnesota has a better resume.
Oh well, back to reality I guess.
