by Brunson. Despicable officiating.
Think that was right, but that foul basically ends this, right?
If Nigel becomes the player he should be...
was weak.
these bullshit fouls are crazy. It's like Wisconsin is wearing Maize and Blue uniforms...
in the second half
Weird watching WIsconsin get a shitty whistle after the last decade plus.
They did in the title game against Duke also. NCAA tournament refs are a little different from our old stanbys in the B1G.
1) the notion that the more aggressive team gets the benefit on calls - complete BS. Either the action with the arms, legs, and body are a foul or they aren't.
2) the notion of swallowing whistles late in games - not making the call when it should be made is making the reverse impact on the game letting illegal play affect the outcome.
Announcers that make the argument that the two above things are okay also grates me to no end.
is disgusting. The other direction and the Badgers would have been charged a 2-shot foul
Happ misses so many bunnies but he jumps again so fast he gets like half back. Weird player.
We have that little shit for 2 more year? Ugh...
Given the usual trajectory of Wisconsin bigs he's going to suddenly and mysteriously develop a 40% three point shot.
how that happens, isn't it?
He might be NBA-bound.
keep this close enough for Koenig to come back in and throw daggers.
I guess the $$$ in Vegas does the talking...not the actual play of the game!
Leaving Koenig that open in the last four minutes is some bad scouting. Never help off that dude.
that was bullshit
Yes, finish them off Badgers!
4 seniors and Happ and we beat them twice in a row?? That's amazing. Just how good are we playing now?
Would love to see them take Nova here. Also indicates what a great chance Michigan has in the tournament.
Nova back to their choking ways again. Even the refs can't help them out this game.
Jesus.
Come on... I need my brackets to at least survive until week 2 this year.
This is going to be a great finish
No for real, you should not let that guy get the ball late. Ever.
we speak from experience there. If not for him, we would have blown Wisconsin out by 30 in that tournament game.. He's friggin deadly and should have the ball at the under 8 seconds to shoot mark every time.
Heck of a game. Wisconsin's played some surprisingly entertaining tournament games over the last 3-4 years.
The last ultra Bo Ryan team was probably in 2013. His last two years and Gard's first two have been a little more watchable.
That's because Wisconsin learned about 3 point shooting in the past 6 years.
Refs trying so hard to get Nova over the finish line lol.
Damn, I actually can appreciate Wisconsin's talent when they're not playing Michigan. Koenig is deadly.
Ugh, UW is self-destructing. A heroball possession and that nonsense.
Shouldn't even be a conversation, that was an obvious common foul. Play the game.
just play for a shot and get it.
I don't mind Koenig shooting, but they've got to get him a better look than a contested NBA 3 off the dribble.
Should go through Hayes, he's had Hart's number on this end all day.
