The bubble talk about Illinois and Northwestern is ridiculous. They're done.

The B1G gets 6 teams in:

MSU
OSU
scUM
Indiana
Wiscy
Purdue

that would be extremely embarrassing for the Big Ten if that would come true. Not only for this year but probably for the next couple years because we are supposed to be one of the elite conferences in the country this year. I hate to say this but Indiana and Michigan State are playing pretty well right now and might crack the Sweet 16:(

Looks like we're not the only ones that see it:

Wisconsin: I don't really respect the way they play. Jordan Taylor likes to run and grab you, and then throw his head back and try to get a call. If you set a pick, they take a dive. They cheat the game. Everybody raves about this defensive juggernaut, but that's bull. They dribble the clock out and mug you out of the building. Part of the reason they lost to Cornell and Davidson is because when you get into the tournament, refs outside the Big Ten don't fall for that. Taylor is kind of struggling, but they're always going to be in the game because they're not going to shoot until there are six seconds left on the shot clock. Then they give it to Taylor. That's their offense. They don't even run the swing as much as they used to. Taylor plays no defense because he's trying to save his energy. Jared Berggren, Josh Gasser and Mike Bruesewitz have all had fabulous seasons, and Ryan Evans has really taken his game to the next level. They're going to be in every game because of the way they play and the fact that they have a lot of weapons.

They looked so good against Sparty the other night it's hard to believe that they play so poorly away from their own place but maybe I should look in our own backyard:(
