Wisconsin 78, #12 Ohio State 73 (Final)

[BuckWrestler141]

Wisky as an away game is a pretty tough game. I'm shocked that we lost though considering the free throw shooting was 15-17 while Wisconsins's kind of sucked.

Also the Illini played a similiar style last year and they got pretty far in the tourny, anything can happen with some luck and a well timed hot streak.

How is this only our 4th loss of the season, and yet it seems like the same old story? No offense down the stretch and giving one away.

That is as ridiculous a statement as I've read on this site in a long time. We lost on the road to a very good Wisconsin team. Give me a break.

Amazing.

Next up - Northwestern, who lost by 16 to Illinois tonight.

It happens. Chill out.

one thing to keep in mind, one big ten team has won at the kohl center since ryans been there

Too many second chances, and then a few lucky threes, and that's what broke us down. I can't believe we lost, it just seemed to happen so quickly we were up and then just that quickly we are down a lead that we won't be able to dig ourselves out from.
The bucks just choked, tried to hold on to the lead as long as they can, didn't seem to play with that defensive intensity. Just a few of those rebounds would of saved us...I really can't believe we lost this one.

How in the hell can we not win at Wisky.....

Making it sound like winning at Wiscy is an easy thing. Gotta be kidding me. They are VERY hard to beat on their home floor. They destroyed Indiana last week as well, keep that in mind.

Hard to play good defense when every little touch or bump is being called.

That's the key. Not being able to make the three and still scoring 73 points wasn't what beat us tonight. Not being allowed to play defense is what killed us, just like the Indiana game.

Oh, GOD! The sky is falling! Fire Matta! Bring back Obie!

Well I didn't think the refs were unfair, but I didn't like the calls either. This is supposed to be BIG TEN basketball, but the players can't play stong and battle hard when every single bump gets called.

Huge game for Dials - WOW! Just a shame we couldn't nail the tre or collect offensive boards...

 

[OSU1978]

Things started to go Wisky's way when Tucker bullcharged and there was a no call under the basket. Gotta do better than 4-17 from 3 from here on out. Hopefully we can string some wins together and catch Iowa.

How in the hell can we not win at Wisky.....

They've only lost twice at home this year.

 

[IronBuckI]

Live and die by the 'D' is more like it. Not making threes was not what killed us, Dials lit it up and made up for the lack of threes. Not being allowed to get within 2 feet of the guy with the ball without being called for a foul completely screwed us.

Let's not forget, North Dakota State pulled out a win there.

I hate Wisconsin. I cannot stand losing to them. It makes the loss so much more agonizing.
