The 2015 NCAA Tournament Thread

I wish Sam Dekker played for our team

I said this 3 years ago too.

[LIHoosier 26,157]

Why didn't they foul there?!? Extend the game.

[hoosierpap 14,300]

Yeah Sean Miller screwed that up big time

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

How is it evening up the calls when one half is called the same way, then the other team gets red hot so the other team keeps getting these ticky tack fouls. They're keeping it close, but the calls haven't been even

 

Wiscy gets away with more two hands on the ballhandler, grabbing on screens, bodying up on the drivers/post than any other team.  They're very good at it and often it's the ones that don't get called more than the ones called on you.  It's the Elite 8 and Wiscy is red hot, how do you keep the game interesting?  Who wants to watch a blowout in the E8?

Bye Arizona. Wonder how much longer people are going to try and put down Bo because his tourney record. Weird what happens when great coaches do with talent

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

Hey, I want Wisky to win this game! I'm really enjoying their run in the tourney. Kaminsky and Dekker are fun to watch. Bo is a great coach; he's proven that.

 

IMO, Wisky has a better chance of beating pUKe than any other team.

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

Good win by Wiscy and they got red hot from deep.  Hope they keep that streak going in the FF!

[HoosierReb01 7,511]

Bo Ryan, best damn coach in the B1G. Hands down.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,318]

WOW. I'm so jelly right now. Dekker will bounce to NBA now, I think. He should to be honest.

This UW team reminds me so much of our 2012-13 team but with a better coach.

Frank and Dekker returned, high rated preseason and lived up to it all season. Just like our Hoosiers but these guys can finish.

Typically sure. I didn't see it that way tonight. Arizona went through a 7-10 minute period in the second half when they didn't actually have to play on the offensive end because the refs were continuously bailing them out with soft fouls. I'd rather watch a blowout where one team is clearly out playing the other, like in the second half here, than one where the refs do so much to keep the other team in it

Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame will be a great Final 4 matchup! :biggrin:

 

(Don't worry I knocked on wood).

Well he has been mocked in the first round all season. His three point percentage was off most of the year. Honestly could see him come back and with Hayes they tear the B1G a new one

[LazOffTheBench 3,638]

Tonight, Ich bin ein Notre Damer!

[Uspshoosier 45,676]

Bo Ryan, best damn coach in the B1G. Hands down.

i would pick Izzo if I had a choice but both are on an entirely different level then anyone else coaching in the B1G

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,318]

yep and his post season play cemented it. Strike while the iron is hot.

Man I hope Grant puts on a show tonight

The biggest difference, besides their FF and our Sweet 16, is what happens next season.  If Dekker leavers early I still see them in the top 4/5 of the B1G next season.  The recruiting difference between them and us is ridiculous but their success vs. ours is laughable.

 

I would put Izzo as #1 coach in the B1G, all things considered, with Bo Ryan right behind him.  Matta and Beilein right behind them.

Bo Ryan, best damn coach in the B1G. Hands down.

Someone disagrees

 

[LIHoosier 26,157]

I guess Marv had enough of "Timeout" Webber and "Get off my lawn" Elmore.

[KingPG21 6,584]

This is kind of late to the Frank the Tank party. But ya'll remember two years ago when he was just that annoying tall white guy from Wisconsin who would light you up from deep. Dude became a straight baller
