Wisconsin having a big 1st half. Dozen 3's in the half. Have gone to the locker room leading 52-47

Look who 2 of them are! Enough said!
Wisconsin has 8 less shot attempts, only 4 two point shot attempts and 7 total rebounds - and is leading.
Lots of people love this stuff, Seth??? Really? I haven't seen anything other than broad condemnation of their actions. Not a good look at all for a program wanting recognition and respect.
I will say this… the collective college basketball brain trust must think Jeffrey Anderson is a pretty good ref because the dude is literally EVERYWHERE, reffing big time games. 
I agree 100%. That was a really bad look. I’m sure Ohio fans were giving them the business and being awful, but still… take the high road. Very disappointing
LIU defeats Wagner 64-56 to clinch the automatic bid from the NEC. It is the Sharks' 8th tournament appearance, their first since 2018 when the school was then known as LIU Brooklyn.
I’m also comfortable with this opinion - Indiana sucks and I don’t like them
And travels
Im cool with Purdue; neutral court? Even better.

I can't speak for everyone, but I will happily eat crow. That said, I don't feel as strongly one way or the other about them (unlike seemingly many on this board, haha).
- I think it'd be more fun to have them in the tournament than some garbage P4 team like Indiana or Auburn (especially Auburn)
- I absolutely think either Indiana or Auburn would beat them 8 out of 10 times.
- While I love metrics as a judge of a team's strength, I do think that at some point winning games has to mean something.
Just one man's opinion.

A bit of a shocker. He was called for a moving screen in second half. And it was appropriate
Not neutral..in chicago!
I’ll be really happy when he’s gone

I hate both these teams and relish the opportunity to beat Purdue again or avenge our loss to Wisky. Also, that Wisconsin patch above the names is awful, way too big. Wisconsin has always had the ugliest uniforms with Adidas and UA.
Already been said more than a few times that if they “do what only a few teams have done in the past 50 years” and go in to selection Sunday undefeated, they’re in by auto bid anyway, thus making this whole discussion meaningless. People are arguing against the impossible: if Miami OH is undefeated going into selection Sunday, it means they’ve won their conf tournament, so of course they make it in that scenario. Nobody is saying they won’t.

They’ve already done “what only a few teams have done in the last 50 years” by going undefeated throughout the regular season
Okay, so in this other case unless they win their conf tournament they’re still not a shoo-in due to their poor profile/resume. It’s just facts. Is it right? I don’t know. People are arguing “interesting team/story” vs putting the best teams in, and Miami OH is objectively not as good of a basketball team as Indiana.
#13 comes in and ruins wisconsin's offense.
Purdue Pete is terrifying. Like, truly the stuff of nightmares
I think it’s a little disingenuous to hammer a team for “not playing anyone” when it’s pretty well documented that several P4 teams and other good majors refused to play them in HOME buy games
I will say this… the collective college basketball brain trust must think Jeffrey Anderson is a pretty good ref because the dude is literally EVERYWHERE, reffing big time games.
Is that why he’s everywhere or is it just he’s willing to do 7 games a week because he’s trying to bank as much cash as he can?
