For the year Wisconsin has 47 blocked shots....have to say come NIT, they will have a steady flow of players rim running at them.

Fixed it for ya.

They are completely fine right now.  NET was 22 entering today and POM was also 22.  33rd best non-conference schedule and 5th best overall according to POM.  Games left are Illinois, Rutgers, and at Purdue.  Short of them losing all three I can't envision them out.

So you’re saying there’s still hope….

@Hovadipo  you OK?  Tell us what's going on when you can.

Have you ever seen me and the guy Greg Gard was pissing in his little panties about/accusing of pulling the fire alarm in the same room? Didn’t think so!

(All seriousness that was a little freaky considering what “alarms with no announcement” could mean these days. Maybe someone could toss Jeremy Gray a little info that he could pass along next time some dips**t pulls the fire alarm?)

Is it true the fire alarm was pulled by an angry fan leaving early after we blew a 15 point lead? That's kind of funny and embarrassing at the same time. 

FWIW, they said the fire alarm actually started at the under 12 timeout but word didn’t get to stop the game until a few minutes later.  At the under 12 timeout IU was up 4, so Wisconsin had not gotten all the way back from down 15 at that time.

Yeah I noticed an alarm by us flashing wayyyyy before security started moving people to the exits. Still can’t believe there was zero mass communication inside the arena. Everyone from security to ushers to the scorer’s table folks were visibly confused.

I don’t want to give CMW any excuse ideas, but it sure does make a difference when the refs let the players decide the outcome of a game instead of deciding it themselves!

I’ve thought that all year!  I’ve seen too many times the refs dictate the outcome. Like that game where Purdue shot something like 38 more free throws than their opponent, I believe it was against NW.

Had a buddy who was sitting on the floor text me and say it was a bomb threat. I laughed and said no it's not it's just a fire alarm. He said there was no communication down on the floor.

I was down there too and there was ZERO communication. They got everyone out pretty orderly and quickly which is a shock with how bad they were at telling people what was going on. The ushers weren't even around. All we had on our end was a security guy on the floor motioning everyone up the bleachers to the north exit. We took our time getting out because it was a traffic jam and I kept looking over at Jeremy Gray waiting on an announcement and he was just sitting there waiting for someone to tell him what was going on. So weird.
