every Wisconsin loss is a good one, in all sports!
Difficult to say. But according to 56, if J-Bo plays, we're bound to lose.
Like I said in another thread, Iowa 68-61.....the zone, the pressure outside limits any guard penetration, we limit our mistakes, take Happ out foul trouble, whatever it takes. Our kids are loose, our kids are confident, our kids just won in Maryland....I think I'll drink another Elliot Ness Amber Lager and sir back and look forward to Thursday night .....go gawks....
Happ did foul out of the game but the others were not in foul trouble. MSU had four players with four fouls each.Officiating is going to play a part too. If they allow the WI bigs to just lower a shoulder and run over our guys, thats not good. Cause thats all their inside guys seem to know how to do.
I was a little worried after Minnesota won at Maryland that it would wake up the Terps for our game. Turned out, it didn't matter.
Wisconsin isn't playing well. We are.
That said, I think we lose a close one up there. And, believe me, I hope I'm dead wrong.
We need to run into their house and trash their house!View attachment 2557

Looks like Wisconsin plays Minnesota after us - they could go into the Big Ten Tournament in a tailspin. I watched most of their game today and it really wasn't close. Michigan State was very motivated and outplayed them. Doesn't seem like they have the killer instinct they usually have.
personally, I would rather play a (good) team coming off a win, rather than a loss!
very lucky? Meh. Iowa was in the (quote)typical late-season Fran swoon (unquote) when playing these teams. It's college basketball. It ebbs. It flows. Over a season. Over a series of games. During a game.
Hawks have played some good ball for the last 35 minutes of Indiana and 40 minutes at Maryland. Indiana was a gut check and Maryland was unbelievable shooting. That can carry a team for a few games.
It doesn't matter against who you get your confidence. Only that you get it.
