We should watch the Wisconsin/OSU game at 430

Planning on it. I'd say this is a dangerous game for Wisconsin. Lose it and they almost certainly won't be a 1 seed. There's another B10 team out there I think should be a 2 instead of KU if they win today. Maryland. So even if Wisconsin ends up with a 1 the committee could still pair yet another B10 team in UK's bracket as a 2. In fact I think they would. Cleveland is probably as close, or closer to them as Syracuse, and certainly Houston.
What makes you think Maryland would be UK's 2 if Wisconsin does get a 1?
I guess your logic is that Villanova drops off the 1 line? I guess then they would go to Syracuse as that is slightly closer to Philly than Cleveland.
I see no way KU is not a 2 though unless Alexander is 100% out for the season. That could hurt them enough to drop them to a 3. Even then, they will just stick them in UK's bracket as the 3 seed.
right now, i'm all in on this North Florida game on ESPN2.
both teams playing for their first ever NCAA birth. game is at N. Florida and this crowd is LIVE. sucked me right in.

Maryland has 2 less losses than KU, and also plays in a very good conference. They also have a very big win over Wisconsin. They are currently ranked ahead of KU in the coaches poll, right behind them in the AP, and both were before KU lost yet again this week. Maryland be may a bit closer to Syracuse, but not much, and Maryland is now a B10 team, and Cleveland is B10 country.
Ok. Not choking. Just stinking it up. Relax
We already know Wisconsin. They are good enough to beat us if we play bad. Not sure OSU can at all.

Watching this game only shows me once again how absurd it is UK coul get stuck with Wisconsin as its 2 seed.
They do not look like much, but they almost never take a bad shot on offense, and never turn it over. I think they are suspect against a disciplined, really athletic and talented team (ala UK), but undisciplined OSU Has had no shot thus far, but things could change.

One small positive from watching this game is Wisconsin is very susceptible to giving up a lot of offensive rebounds.
An impressive 1st half by the Badger's. OSU has lost 8 games, but it would still be a good and needed win for Wisconsin as they push for a 1 seed.
Hard to believe Wisky lost at Rutgers even without Big Frank. Their should be some kind of rule for the committee that the best #1 can't have the best #2 seed in their region it should just be a flat out rule. Moving Wisky another couple hundred miles isn't going to kill them,
Wisconsin will be tough to beat but then should UK get to the elite 8, every almost every team will be tough.
Maybe I've missed a large part of the season, but who does Willie score on where it's not a dunk?
All we need Willie to do is play solid defense especially on Dekker. KAT should score on Kaminsky rather easily.
I'm not ashamed to say that I am afraid of Wisconsin. It would be heartbreaking to see the perfect season ripped away from us by them as revenge for taking away their season last year.
Wisconsin and Duke are the only two teams that I think can play with us.

Oh you shouldn't have changed it. I would take the name Mandy, embrace it and make it my own.
In fact, the next time I ***** during a game, someone should probably call me Mandy.
Wisconsin just doesn't look like a team who can cope with everything we will throw at them. Kaminsky isn't quicker than WCS or Towns. We would be a mismatch at nearly every position, then we bring in the bench. I couldn't care less if Wisconsin is our 2. They are the same ploddiing team they were last year. We are vastly superior to last year and they didn't even have to face WCS. We beat them by 15+.
I'll say what everybody is thinking.
Russell is overrated. Good lord the kid has some of the worst passing I've seen in this game. He picks the right person to pass it to, but the passes are all incredibly slow bounce passes, sometimes looks like it'll take two bounces just to get to a player 10 foot away from him, and he takes a lot of bad shots.
Eek.

Four best teams in the country are: UK, Duke, Arizona and Wisconsin.
NCAA selection committee will make sure it is impossible for all four to make it to the Final Four.
Sucks that the way they are going to choose to do it will be to have us and Wisconsin meet in the regional finals. I think we are the #1 and #3 programs in the entire country with Duke wedged in between us.
It'll be a shame that Wisconsin will have to watch the Final Four at home instead of getting a chance to actually play in it.

If Wisconsin wins the Big 10 tourney, and still ends up with a 2 seeds in the Midwest, the NCAA can officially rot in eternal hell.
OK, watched it and was impressed, not scared. Anyone who watched would think they are a one seed. The problem with the Committee (well, one of the problems) is that they don't watch games, they watch computer printouts. They have no feel for what actually happens on the court.
