It is?
I don't worry until the last minute of the game.
Niang sounds like a swear word. Like "O Niang it all, we just blew a 17 point lead"
Teams burn a lot of energy coming back. They get close, then boom they give up a few and it turns into a comfortable lead again. I predict that here.
We are still up by 9
Just changed the shirt
17 points nice!
@Crimsonorblue22 Brooks is my all time hero because he got me tickets to the national championship game in 2012. We met for ten minutes at a gas station in Hammond, LA!
@brooksmd I forgot, Brooks you know me
IT said 36-28 with 6 minutes left. in the 2nd half.
@Crimsonorblue22 Well yes, without the tits, uh tats of course.
Wow, talk about badball. Did you see that UConn-SMU score?
@Crimsonorblue22 I could provide pictures
@wissoxfan83 Or should i just go topless?
I am wearing my Wisconsin shirt, I was supposed to change out of it for the KU game, but forgot. Should I change now?
So ESPN has been plugging this special on Laettner's shot. They're going to call it the greatest shot ever. They probably won't say it was just a quarterfinal game.
They won't do a special on Chalmers shot, or Scotty Thurman's, or Keith Smarts.
@KUSTEVE There you go, did you hear it?
We're probably going to have to listen to the announcers talk about how ISU always comes back
The best thing for Selden was Oubre going out because he's been lighting it up!
@Bwag Interesting. Range is something I've never associated with mick
Did he just say mickelson had decent range?
I'm live blogging ambidextrously. Jnew with the left hand, KU buckets with the right.
Selden making some shots with his heels on the 3 line
Thanks, will have to look at those next break.
Our defense is stellar. Would love to see defensive stats for our last 6 or 7 games.
ISU not looking good, but we're pretty ugly too.
Free the old fashioned three
Try!
I don't get nervous til the last minute.
Hi Eric.
Jnew says ISU majority fans in the crowd
Nice day huh brooks?
First time in history we've had to wait for the end of an ivy league game.
I don't know, I didn't know about the bad luck thing.
Good evening all!
I think he's going to be the next coach at that school up in Madison that you're all tired of me talking about.
Well @jaybate-1.0 opened it up. Look at the title! Sorry, just excited about BOTH teams. I wasn't really trying to sound defensive. By the way, the Badgers have one too, in 1941!
Bill Self and Bo Ryan both have lost twice in the first round, but UW doesn't have the embarrassment of Bucknell and Bradley. Bo has made 6 Sweet 16's (i think), reached the elite 8 and of course last year the final four. He has a pretty good record in the dance, but you know, a lot of people like to say KU chokes in the tourney a lot too.
Just wrapped up a win. Total fouls committed in the tourney 12, total turnovers in the tourney 10. Pretty impressive stuff.
@JayHawkFanToo And the Badgers are experienced too.
Lest anyone gets the wrong impression. I'm pumped for knocking out ISU in a few hours. We need some momentum going into the dance.
under 6 minutes left, still no Wisconsin turnovers.. O, Kaminsky just turned it over.
I'm watching Wisconsin not turn the ball over once for the first 25 minutes of game time.
Interestingly if KU plays that night i will actually be in Lawrence. My daughter is visiting KU, so I won't be posting to any live blogs that night anyways!
Will be my first visit to Lawrence since '89 so I'm a tad bit excited to go there!
I tell you what. ISU is here because:
Texas choked away a 10 point lead with less than three minutes left.
Texas decided not to call a TO and instead hoisted up an awful 3 with about 9 seconds left setting up ISU's game winner.
OU can't make the highest percentage shot in basketball, an unguarded layin, to tie them at the buzzer and forcing OT.
ISU is out of miracles We won't up late game winners anymore.
Way to put me on the spot. I've got to say Kansas of course. I never attended UW, just paid taxes to support it. But I also feel Bo Ryan can coach with the best of them it'd be nice to see him validated with a championship. Last year was a sort of validation, and I really believe that team choked against Kentucky, missed 1-1 FT with 30 seconds left which puts them up by four if we get a chance for a 2nd. Giving up the long three by Harrison, and a forced shot by Jackson at the buzzer when he had open options to pass to. I think last year was our chance to be honest. But sign me up, I'll go for a UW-KU final any day!
Crimson, I thought you were showing the Wisconsin score!!
At least for me, the earlier season blowouts really put a negative in my mind about this team. And a couple of seasons with more than normal loss totals, I know we're spoiled, has a collective negative impact on the fan base. Continue this minnie hot streak today and then win some games starting next weekend and then we're starting to talk again about Jayhawk hoops the way we're supposed to be!
By the way, that was an insightful article. I don't know the writer, but I assume he writes about a lot of teams and he nailed it for us.
Got to go guys will do double duty tomorrow at 5.
@Crimsonorblue22 Rained all week, cleared out this evening and it's going to be great this weekend, but it's too wet to golf unfortunately
@VailHawk Yes, quite a bit. Frank, Josh, Duje are seniors, Sam a junior, Nigel and Bronson are sophomores. Traevon jackson if he gets healthy for the tourney is a senior. We're gonna need him to go deep
One of those teams is playing the KU alma mater!
@VailHawk THanks! I've got to be honest. They're so much more fun to watch this year than the Jayhawks. Most of the time their offense just hums like a machine.
