That and it diminishes what you are doing a bit.

Stanford looks the part but it 'll be tough to play it out the whole half.

Wisconsin looking like upset victims

At some point, I am afraid I am going to have to raise the white flag on the Badgers. I just don't understand how they could play this badly at home and of late in general. The defense is not good, sure, but to lose at home to Northwestern, a team Wisconsin smacked down in Evanston, is just amazing to me. There is WAY too much talent on that offense to score 6 points midway through a half.

I just like Bo Ryan too much. He's never finished worse than 4th in the Big Ten in 13 seasons, but that could end this year if they don't make some drastic changes.

I thought the chant was directed at Aaron Gordon.

Yeah, it was. I think after he missed a three. But either way, why would you direct an overrated cheer at the best player on the best team in America when the game is barely half over and your up only a bucket? Lol, it's just comically stupid.

That's a terrible call, calling that intentional.

Talking about the KU game? Didn't think that should be intentional either

That was said solely with regard to ranking in the context of my post, but I definitely think the Wildcats have a claim to that spot. Arizona is as complete a team as there is. Even on an off night on the road in conference play at Maples Pavilion, Arizona in position to win. They're going to be a juggernaut playing out West at neutral sites during the tourney.

I like them more than anyone currently.

I'd go with Florida and Arizona as the best. Kansas right there. I just can't buy Syracuse. We've seen their song and dance too many times and they don't generally get it done in the NCAA's.

Yea. Thought the guy was ahead of him and just swatted backward and then they kinda fell awkward. But he absolutely made a play on the ball.

Shades of Iowa all over again for Stanford. Cardinal haven't made a basket since the 10 minute mark of the second half. Down 2 with 1:30 left.

Yeah i agree..think they called it for being "excessive" which I could see, but still probably wouldn't have called it

RAISE IT UP!!!

But in all honesty, it's the same thing I've said since I watched them to start 2014 (1st time I got to see them a few times), they have guys who simply cannot guard the perimeter...like, at all. It's a lay-up drill for some of these teams, and on the flop side, they are so bad on D that when they focus on drives, they give open looks from the outside.

Zona's defense and board work carried them on a bad offensive night. If they can turn the D up like that when it counts, they will win the title.

With that said, I still question their depth and their guard play going ALL THE WAY.

I mean, there's not much I can say to defend Wisconsin after watching them trail NW at home by almost 20. So I'll surrender the argument. What I saw tonight was a team that has completely lost its confidence. Losing 4 out of 5 in conference play (three of which to teams that are likely to not make the NCAAs) is about as low as it gets.

I know you're not, but I'm disappointed because the Badgers are the team outside of Duke that I enjoy watching the most.

It's been a weird year for teams just completely tanking. OSU, Wisky, and Baylor have just been terrible.

I want Indiana to have an alternate uniform like Kansas this year. With the script Indiana from their warmups on the jersey. That would be sick.

I like all of those. And the Kansas jerseys.
