Won't matter when they inevitably poop their collective pants in the tournament (ncaa, not the meaningless b10 one).

YES! The good guys win. Take that izzo! Outstanding defense by Rob on that final sequence. Game ball to Justin Smith! YeeHaw

As someone posted in the first half let's not waste this effort from Justin Smith.

That's what really good teams do..... but we're not giving up!

Winston is what we thought and hoped Lanford would be.

On the previous rebound, and change of possession, Izzo was screaming right at the refs - then Morgan gets knocked around at the other end and the refs swallow their whistles. Funny how that works...

The Hall sounds pretty loud on the radio broadcast.

Now I want some shrimp cacktail. Thanhs Fox!

Because we can't shoot we're pretty easy to game plan against and defend.

Silver lining: not an ESPN game so this time we won't be subjected to Bilas kissing Izzos keister while pretending to be skiing on a football field. lol

While true, I think he's been running on fumes the last few games - a season of being undersized, carrying the load and getting pounded by bigger players has taken a toll on him. Kinda perplexed that Race got almost zero minutes with Davis unable to contribute and Morgan floundering.

He does look sluggish today.

If there's any justice in this world, we win this game. How many times have we lost because an opposing player goes off hitting like he never has before? Today, finally, that guy is on our team.

Yep. Rob pushed out of bounds on the baseline, Romeo called for a charge when the defender jumps in front of him, and Justin with 3 steps on the and 1. B10 officiating is simy atrocious - all you can hope is that the calls are equally bad for both teams.

Exactly. Now, and for the past few years we were out of the conversation in the big ten, and for many more years on the national stage. But, when we begin making deep tourney runs and playing for championships, our past legend will be rekindled nationally (because unlike most, we have a rich history of success) - it really is the "sleeping giant" situation. Now, if Archie can just wake the big lumbering Rip Van Winkle up!

That is a good example of using a lot of hyperbole in the headline for a reasonably balanced article (and perhaps why bleacher report is often given little credibility). I don't have any major quibbles with what was written, but it didn't read like it was written by someone with much first hand knowledge or experience about a lot of it.

And a bit ironic considering that the visiting team (Wisc) enjoys the best "home cookin'" in the big ten.

Please no heartbreaker.....

I don't believe there's a single player on our team who could hit all three of those free throws.

Another review.

It felt like it took DeRon ten seconds to get to the rim. But he got there!

In the NFL that'd be "inconclusive".

Al's playing like he's out of gas.

Crappy FT shooting is going to bite us in the butt I'm afraid.

... Or Jay Edwards.
