It’s whatever. Ultimately it doesn’t matter, we won by ten. It’s more an FU to gamblers I suppose lol.

Epps and I have this in common.
Yeah they just called another charge on Shannon in the locker room
Illini have the Badgers singing "Yer Blues".
Looking at the standings, NW has a brutal stretch coming up, so they are fools gold. MSU looks like a tough string, as well. Other than that, it will be a battle.
I don’t know how he got up like that after slipping in the dribble.

I can't wait for our sure to be NC-17 rated matchup with Rutgers
Wisky Net is 69 so it is a quad 1

My husband also single handedly loses Illini leads. It's a curse.
I have two thoughts I would like everyone to at the very least...ponder.
1. Always respect the game and how every circumstance should be played...and seek that knowledge.
2. Always respect the opponent.................................................................................unless...of course....that opponent is Michigan. It is OK to hate Michigan. Alabama, Ohio State, USC, Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, Iowa, etc. etc. all deserve respect to a degree....but Michigan has earned complete insignificance and disdain as an opponent in any sport over the past 100+ years. Carry on.

It’s been fun to watch this team buy in defensively.
I've got to disagree on Iowa, I never respect Iowa....I have a special hate for them.

I’ll remember four things from this game:
4. Stifling D that kept us in it until we could pull away
3. MM’s dominance
2. A four-minute review of Wall’s egregious hook-and-hold on CoHawk, which anyone seeing three angles of footage and possessing better than 20/400 vision could discern from 50 yards away, which was completely ignored
1. Geoff Alexander stepping into the Kohl Center directly from a GQ photo shoot in Barbados, rocking the sockless loafers and casual suit on a snowy January day in Madison
It’s absolutely clear to me that we need to make the Blues our default road togs.

A man
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.
Our offense runs so much better when we get into the lane.

I think Fast Breaks point was that as of now it is a Q1 win and at worst Q2-A if Wisconsin continues to struggle down stretch.
Either way, this is an important win for our resume. Biggest key will be beating NE and MN at home, and we will be able to avoid any bad losses for the year.
I know Coleman had to be frustrated but man has he come a long way this last year! Wow! These guys could really have something special going into the tournament. Fox kept talking up Wisconsin's weak offense and said little if anything about our defense. Defense does win championships! If we can keep playing defense like this and our offense takes a step forward and guys stop pressing so much. We are a final four team in the making.
This was a “what was that” moment for me. I don’t think we were told what happened.
