a 40 point lead, against the #9 team in the country (and #5 Kenpom?  fact check please)

comparatively speaking, I haven't felt like this since 

Michigan vs Penn State in 1997

i appreciate your responses and would simply say that when you are up by 40 points you take your foot off the gas.  the subs did fine, and it's good they get some playing time.  i note we have a grad student center who is actually pretty big and more muscular than davis, his name is faulds.  he biffed two easy bunny hook shots, both going off the front of the rim in his time on the court.  it happens, they need time in game conditions. one of our new kids sunk a beauty 3, and the ball movement was nice.  plus we were in no hurry and burned the last couple of minutes to not embarrass wisconsin.  i'd say thats good sportsmanship.

Ha! Good point. I actually would do the latter...I am a coach (+ played in college) and I watch a game studying movement and missed assignments and I watch that stretch noticing the turnovers, not the fun the guys are having with a great win.

Rather than enjoying the win, or reveling that "the game was over," I tend to think about the depth, the dropoff with the 9th-12th guys.

This has to be a historic record breaking run versus a top 10 ranked team and top 10 ranked Kenpom defense. That was the most perfectly executed basketball game I’ve ever seen.
