Thursday night college basketball thread
Any/all CBB information is welcome.
Nebraska just won in Iowa, 79-73. Iowa is impossible to figure out, having beaten Michigan, and Wisconsin and losing to a bunch of mediocre teams. Nebraska, after an 0-4 start in conference play, is showing signs of life. We have to travel to Lincoln a few days after MSU . . . that may not be an easy trip.
Wisconsin hosts Indiana now on ESPN2. Interesting matchup. UW has really picked it up all of a sudden and is 16-5 overall now and 5-3 in league play. IU comes to Crisler next week; they've been in a bad slump, although they just blew out PSU.

Refreshing. A place to move on.

Wisconsin is the most boring good team Ive ever seen play.

They may not run an exciting offense, but they play sound defense and they grind you down on the other end of the floor. Been a constant overachiever in the B1G because of how well coached they are and how well they typically play at home.
January 26th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
No! Must complain about Garnett more!

At Nebraska could really be a challenge for us, they can be deadly from the 3pt line (I know we can too, but..) and they've been pretty steady at home during B1G play. Conference play this year has been fun to watch, I found myself invested in the Illini-PSU game last Thursday and the Neb-Iowa game today, it's also great seeing your team tied for 1st in the league.

I agree, this year the big ten is solid from top to bottom. It's been a lot of fun to watch it all play out
January 26th, 2012 at 10:19 PM ^
moo U sucks.
January 26th, 2012 at 10:20 PM ^
Glad to see a different thread not related to Garnett/fallout from his decision.
I'm not really too worried about IU at Crisler, these games against OSU and MSU have my attention
January 26th, 2012 at 10:47 PM ^
In other news if anyone around here cares, the Women's Baketball team just lost badly to PSU. Just an all around bad game for pretty much our whole team and they were on fire all game. They have been doing pretty well, especially at home so I was surprised that this happened.
January 26th, 2012 at 10:44 PM ^
I'm really enjoying this Indiana/Wisconsin game.
January 26th, 2012 at 10:57 PM ^
Man, IU was screwed by the refs tonight.
January 26th, 2012 at 11:02 PM ^
Yeah, there was some home cooking . . . but then again, IU deserves a bit of it for what gets served up in Bloomington.
Our Wisconsin win is looking very nice on our résumé right now.
January 26th, 2012 at 11:03 PM ^
Yeah, I just don't think IU is very good. They need a real point guard and they can't seem to rebound worth a damn.
January 26th, 2012 at 10:58 PM ^
Indiana has now lost 19 of their last 20 road games against Big Ten teams, the lone win being a 5 point escape at lowly Penn State a couple weeks ago.
I want revenge at Crisler next week.
