IUBB vs Wisconsin - Saturday, 02.07.26 @ Noon on Fox-TV

[TheWatShot]

I rage quit after Wisconsin went up by 4 because I had somewhere to be at 2:00 and was hoping the game would end by then. 

 

Was it a bad call at the end? Probably. But Wisconsin has gotten cheap calls at the end of games for years. Let them cry about it.

It was a terrible call and i'm fine with that. Screw them. I hope it festers, crushes their spirit and their season spirals.

The call on Blackwell guarding Lamar looks very different from a different angle. Blackwell stepped on Lamar’s heel and then kicked him in the leg:

We play Oregon Monday at 8:30pm.

Then 6 days off before Illinois.

Then 5 days off before Purdue.

Northwestern 4 days after PU.

Then a whole week off before hosting MSU. Then 3 days until hosting Minnesota. And 3 more days until we wrap up at Ohio State.

I like the amount of time we will have to prep for Illinois, Purdue and MSU.

An under discussed aspect of this game: Miles seems ahead of Sisley in the rotation now. I think he has a lot of potential, even though he'll have a pretty limited role this year. 

Yeah Miles played pretty big minutes and fairly solidly— he also had that critical out of bounds save towards the end. He wasn’t playing well earlier in the year but is playing better and has more experience for a game like this one

Was a good call after all

… because they are mentally as tough as can be.

Was thinking how they showed that kind of mental toughness way back in pre-season in that come from behind game in PR. It’s not the most talented team obviously but it is a team of mentally tough and tenacious kids who get after it and never give up. Love the toughness, can be a difference in March.

Which one? The call on Blackwell was absolutely a foul. Not even really debatable.

So was the charge. We stole a win in a lot of ways, but not via those two calls. Nice to see correct calls being made without the situation interfering.

Yeah. 6 days then 5 days is fantastic. There’s time for the coaches and players to get really into the weeds. Good call out. Would love to steal one of those

The number of defensive rebounds that IU couldn’t secure that turned into Wisconsin 3s on their 3rd or 4th try was maddening. But man, we gutted out a win.

And most of that wasn't even due to our lack of size. The ball would be right in their hands and they just don't grip it.  Maddening indeed!

[Brass Cannon]

Didn’t get to watch the game but looking at the box score I don’t love that we blew the lead but love love love that we hit FTs in the clutch to both get to OT then secure the win 

[HoosierMatty]

Feels good to win against this team and hear Gard complaining about the fouls Enright committed against Boyd. I feel like hell has frozen. Think of all those close games we have lost to the team and refs have hosed us.

The 3:38 mark of this video says it so so well:

And we played hard which is a low bar that many of our recent teams haven’t crossed.

[Hoosier987]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Enright is one of our best players. He’s a top 3 player on this squad.

Absolutely. Control what you can- play hard & smart. That was so inconsistent for the last 10yrs.
