Nice... but problems:

This doesn't answer the important question of who to root for when Northwestern, Penn State, or Iowa are playing each other.  Also, is a "Hoosier" historical or occupational?  I'm not aware of any historical meaning... do residents of Indiana just sit around Hoosing all day?

Wisconsin's style limits possessions. Because the score is low doesn't mean it's terrible.

Anyone but Ohio.

Wisconsin's offense is still gross, they throw it in the post 3 times a possession only looking to kick it out to someone for a 3, and more often than not they miss the 3. Their style of play while successful is just ugly to watch.

Don't watch if you don't like

Don't watch if you don't like their style.  If you enjoy good basketball you'll watch.  If you need loads of points then Big Ten basketball often won't be your forte; this isn't new.  It's effective basketball and fans of well taught and fundamental basketball will watch.

Lol you can play slow and not

Lol you can play slow and not suck at basketball, wisconsin plays straight up ugly basketball and osu has an offense that is deshaun thomas or bricks, which is also ugly.  And for the record, zero national championships since 2000 would suggest strongly that the slow down basketball employed by many in the big ten is not in fact all that effective.

For the record, which team, "sucks", as you put it?! The 11th ranked team in the country or the one which went into Assembly hall and won their 10th in a row* against Indiana (and a top 20 team acording to KenPom)?

*I could be wrong but I think it's something ridiculous like that.

I didn't say they suck, i

I didn't say they suck, i said they play terrible basketball, you can win and still be painful to watch, which this game was.  Also wooo final 4's thats totally the same thing as national championships.  OSU lost twice to sec teams in bcs championships, the big ten doesn't look any better in footbal because a team managed to get to the championship game to lose.  The only thing that matters prestige wise is championships, if your teams aren't winning them then you can't say your brand of playing the game is working.  Not to mention many of those final fours were msu which played an up tempo style compared to the average big ten team.

Rooting interest

I mean, you're your own (uh, firearm?), so I wouldn't presume to tell you for whom you should be rooting.  With that said, Brian's Opponent Watch recommending cheering ... against Wisconsin — presumably because these teams both have 2 losses in-conference and Michigan has to play at the Kohl Center while Wisconsin dodges a trip to Ann Arbor this year.

It is great defense, they are the two best defenses in the league. But some don't appreciate that. Any time you can root against Ohio is a good time to me.

If Nothing Else...

All I can say is that both teams have worked extremely hard to arrive at this 26-24 score. Wisconsin is actually being outshot by Ohio State by a mere 0.6% right now - 38.5% to 39.1%.

An Ohio State win makes our loss look a little better.  I am rooting for them purely from the standpoint of improving our chances at a #1 seed.

That marks the third

That marks the third consecutive game that Wisconsin has failed to score 50 points.  They scored 47 against MSU, 45 against Minnesota (and won!) and 49 tonight.  That is amazing.

Boring

Wisconsin has solidified themselves as basketball enemy number 2 behind MSU. They play the most god awful, boring brand of basketball. It is painful to watch.

Worst. State of Basketball. Ever.

Wisconsin basketball:  YUCK.

Seriously, remember that PSU game a year or two ago, like 36-33 final?  This is worse than four-corners, and worse than a soccer team playing 10 men inside their box (a "shell").  It's indeed unwatchable.  It's almost like, "we can't play real basketball, so we'll do something else."  Why would recruits go for this?

I hope, when we play them, we shred them 84-30 or something like that.  Of course, I'm fully aware the final will be 45-41.
