I am no longer a Blue Devil fan. I am a UW-Milwaukee Panther fan. Duke is an awful team. They are overrated. #17 is still too high, they are terrible. I will cheer for the Pearl if UWM does not make the tourney.

They won't. They're not as good as they've been the last few years. But, hey, you could always cheer for UW.

UWM is terrible this year. I'm glad to hear you have given up on Duke though. I can't even make myself sit through a Panther game this year, but they seem to be getting good recruits. In the High School game on ESPN a couple nights ago it was the 22nd ranked school against the 1st and UWM is getting a starter from each team. I know he had to take the Tennesee job but I can't root for Pearl anymore. Jump on Wisconsin while you can.

oh god, they're 15-3 . That's not exatly terrible. What do you expect from such a young team with paulus at the PG?

Does anybody disagree that the University of Washington Huskies will be a powerhouse in years to come? Spencer Hawes isnt having a good enough season to declare for the draft, and we have Adrain Oliver and Quincy Pondexter tearing it up. In another season or two we're back on top.

Considering Hawes probably will declare and Pondexter may, who knows. However, with so many young players not fit for the NBA right now, I could see us being beastly next year. If they did happen to become a powerhouse, potentially Final Four team, the good portions of the team would all declare. We'll have to count on Romar to continue recruiting well.

Oh but first we should try to actually make the tournament this year, because at the rate we're going, we won't.

That was a nice play by Fraizer.

They have been right so far.

Wisconsin seems to play to the level of their competition.

EDIT: That was an amazing rebound by tucker.

[GB12]

How about that that possession.

very much like Kansas

[sik wit it]

they get the win and can play a close game. The badgers are a top level team, even with their recent play. Badgers WILL be a national contender

Illinois is a lot better than their record. And we showed that today.

Free throw shooting really hurt us in the this game. I think if we make our FT's, we win this ball game.

Also, 3 very bad calls down the stretch that even Majerus called the refs on. I'm not going to blame the refs here for our loss but you cannot make those calls in this type of game.

Credit to Wisky for the win, but I'm disappointed that we didn't pull this game out.

Don't even start with me dude. Even one of your boys said the refs called you a good game.

If anything they got the ones wrong that favored Wisconsin. I was impressed by Fraizer and I wouldn't be surprised if Illinois makes the Sweet 16.

Right now we're probably in the NIT. A win against Wisky today really would have helped in this game.

People look at our record and think we are just a bad team, but as you saw today, we went toe to toe with the #3 team in the nation. And it's not like Wisky played bad, it was a well played game on both sides.

Like I said earlier, it's a game we let get away. But Wisky is very experienced and poised in games like this and they showed it. We really need to go on a run here in the Big 10, a very big run. And we probably need to make the Championship game of the Big 10 tourney.

Yeah, they're in a bad position now, but I really think the could make some noise in the Tourney. They have the good teams in the Big Ten out of the way so they have an easy schedule to finish on. It's then like you said the Big Ten Tournament. I don't think the have to go to the finals, the semis should do.

UConn is playing great today, Stanley Robinson is a beast

Indiana hit their shots early, so its tied at the half, but UConn dominated the 2nd half of the 1st half.

They looked good today, but I still wouldn't count on them to win any more than one tournament game if they got there. Their hardest games are behind them now until the Big 10 tournament, so unless they are truly dominant until then I don't think I'll be able to see it much differently

Which is why we almost have to win out in the Big 10, and why we have to make some serious noise in the Big 10 tourney.

It's just been one of those years for us. Injuries, unfortunate luck, some bad reffing, and bad games.

Oh well, no sense in bitching about it, **** happens and you've gotta move on.

I love Rod Wilmont.

I will name a player of the day everyday first honor goes to Scottie Reynolds. Its scary to think he is only a freshman.
