These refs in the UK-MSU game are absolutely atrocious. Trying to make this game last 3 hours

Was watching the purdont game with my 13 yo daughter. When they panned to the student section she said, "wow look at all those people who made bad life choices".

Smart girl. She cracks me up.

You've obviously won at parenting! Keep up the outstanding work.

If u ask my 5 year old where Kentucky or Purdue fans sleep if they come over he will tell u in the garage.

Eh, I'd argue OG is way closer to being the lock down defender just because of his physical tools are all there. Whether he can learn to bring it night in, night out is the question. 

To be fair to OG, he doesn't have the best teacher in the world at showing him how to defend those screens.

That's because they'll be too busy hitting wide open 3's.

2-10 tonight from 3 so yeah they will bury about 11 of them

Wisky benefiting from some home cooking.  DB with 12 min remaining.  UM playing well though up 8.  Man we need them to hang on.

Nah I would rather have them win. Wisky isn't losing 2 at home. I would rather us be the one to take them down at the kohl center ( this losing streak in Madison has to end)

That "Kohl's Center Magic" is rather amazing. In the double bonus with more than 12 minutes remaining. Jump balls all around. And it's a 2 point game.

Very possible.  Can't afford to give them a cushion at the start though.

The only thing worse than the refs in this game is DD. He's really trying to find the right in these wacky calls.

[TheWatShot 15,488]

Considering we only led for about 2 possessions when we played them at home, I'm curious why you guys are even entertaining the thought of winning up there.

Because it's college basketball. Anything can happen. Wiksy lost to Milwaukee and western Illinois and Marquette last year at home

Michigan tried hard, but Wiscy has shut them down the last 5 min.

Why not? Two pretty evenly matched teams.  Kohl center does not have near the crowd noise that the hall has.  In fact, its pin-drop quiet.  If IU takes care of the ball early and defends the perimeter...why not?

Kohl center can get loud as well. Wisky has led the B1G in attendance for the last couple of years. We haven't won in Madison in I believe 15 years so it's going to take a huge effort
