*****Iowa vs Wisconsin Game Thread*****

So what did Ben and Gard say after the game, then?

Gard: "Just so you know, I hate your ties."

Ben: "Yeah, well I hate your state, so I guess we'll call it a draw."

Wrong, did you see his antics all game? Smirking, cocking off, comments towards Iowa players all game.
Do you see any of our guys doing that this season? He had 27. Big deal.

Seriously, you are calling a 20 year old kid “a little *****” for smirking and cocking off in a high stake rivalry game? You must be very young yourself and never played competitive sports where trash talking is an art!! Or you’re tool old and weird, your entire identity tied to a 20 year olds wining or losing.
Ok. I give up, buddy. You win. Keep complaining about the officiating. I’m sure that’s why we lost.

How can you be 6'8", play all 40 minutes and grab Zero rebounds?

That's the key word in the sentence, consistency. Ben searches a lot by changing lineups, but he can only do so much.

Maybe 1 or 2 others will go on a magic run just in time for the dance. That’s the hope anyway lol

Yesterday was my first visit to kohl center.
Impressions:

Arena is impressive and filled w mostly badger fans. Student section behind basket was packed with at least 600 kids
Huge band.
Kohl has been a very profitable revenue generator back to bo Ryan's years..I remember them netting 18 million/ year after expenses in the ryan run making them top 8 in college ball.
That has continued,clearly
They spend money to create a show-biz atmosphere with flames jumping out of the basket frame as they introduce the Wis lineup
They have non- stop contests at timeouts

Frankly tho, the place was not really roaring cept for a couple of times
Like they just to expect to win and are sedated.
We had good seats so could really appreciate ball movement and defense( first half)

Stirtz was impressive.. Wis fans around us were very impressed.
But Boyd was even better..too quick and crafty for anyone to guard.
Rapp killed us. They have more good shooters than us and winter overwhelmed inside
They have more good players than us but in carver we probably nip them.


If we bring back the same crew we need a mercenary like Boyd...even Wis fans behind me were saying he better be good for all the cash they paid.
1st half was a clean crisp demonstration of ben- ball on offense..that was fun

Wis fans were friendly..no problems. Guess not a bb rivalry.

Was chomping on his gum like he's prime MJ. He loves the smell of his farts.

the Hawkeyes didn't lose because of the refs... we all know that..
however.. if the officiating was on the up and up.. Iowa probably wins by 15-20 points.
