I was going to congratulate Meadhouse on the win. Very exciting. Nova should have been called for traveling on their last possession.

Rt41Rebel म्हणाले...

Congrats Badgers! There is a theory here on MD sports boards that the committee accidentally reversed the MD/Wisc seeding, but I'm glad it worked out for you.

Dagwood म्हणाले...

Great win for a fine program. I was impressed with how far the Badgers came last year, having graduated so much talent from the 2014-15 squad. Not from Wisconsin, but I can't help but root for the Badger basketball program most of the time they take the court.

OMG. The White Privileged Midwestern Style Team beat down the Philly Street Wise Team. This will require, at the least, Grief Counseling and Intense Racial Sensitivity Training.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

What I want to know is where Frank Kaminsky went. He was my favorite player.

Birkel म्हणाले...

Duke sends its regards.

Rosa Marie Yoder म्हणाले...

I came here to make sure that Wisconsin's win was noted! O. M. G. Go, Big Ten!

M Jordan म्हणाले...

Go, Badgers.
Go, Purdue,
Go Big Ten
It's time, you're due.

Rusty म्हणाले...

""This is our bright, shining moment.""

No. It's their bright shining moment. Your living it vicariously.You didn't win shit.

Amadeus 48 म्हणाले...

Outstanding. Great win by a great team.

By the way, the refereeing was lousy--way too many cheap calls on both teams, balanced by ignoring obvious violations. The Badgers were handicapped by having to sit their stars down until the last five minutes, when they went on a 15-5 run to win.

Amadeus 48 म्हणाले...

P.S., Nigel Hayes is the greatest.

Meade म्हणाले...

"P.S., Nigel Hayes is the greatest."

Especially when he does his Michael Jordan "fake spin back" move on the baseline.

Fabi म्हणाले...

Nigel Hayes can sing! He also seems like a nice young man.

Francisco D म्हणाले...

Kaminsky went to Charlotte were he is struggling to gain strength to be an effective pro.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

@Rusty, that's cold.

mezzrow म्हणाले...

Stinkin' Badgers.

Kill my bracket.
Kill my bracket.
C-I-L-L my bracket.

Meade म्हणाले...

"No. It's their bright shining moment. Your living it vicariously.You didn't win shit."

True, but just think how vicariously great I shall be if Wisconsin beats Virginia, Duke, Gonzaga, and Kansas. Vicariously, in that order.

Nova's guards didn't play very smart, at the end of the game they kept driving into traffic and lost the ball on at least 2 or 3 of their last possessions.

dreams म्हणाले...

A lot of us are deriving a lot of vicarious pleasure via Trump's presidency and I'm not tired of winning yet.

J2 म्हणाले...

Villanova - My brackets thank you. Next up Baylor to beat Duke.

FredwinaD म्हणाले...

Traditionalguy, Villanova is hardly "Philly Street Wise." They're the rich, preppy outsiders of Philly's Big 5. I'm thrilled that Nova lost, though. The Hawk will never die!

Guildofcannonballs म्हणाले...

I won the passionate scorn of Rusty.

Ain't much, ain't nuttin' neither.

Curious George म्हणाले...

"Our?"

Guildofcannonballs म्हणाले...

We are all stewards of all but our souls. Shut yer steward yapper and celebrate in our victorious domination of those inferior, on and in the court.

Yancey Ward म्हणाले...

Though I had Villanova as the champion in two of my 10 ESPN brackets, I hadn't picked them past Wisconsin in four of the others.

I don't consider this an upset- I had sneaking suspicion that Villanova was over-rated all season, and Wisconsin was clearly under-rated by the committee. I thought Wisconsin deserved at least a 5 seed.

I think Wisconsin is a dark horse. I do have them in the final four on one of my brackets, and in the final 8 in 3 others.

The team that let me down this weekend, though, was Notre Dame. I basically split all the brackets between Notre Dame and West Virginia, but the brackets where WVU wins are all in the lower half of my results.

Other "upsets" to look for tomorrow are South Carolina over Duke, Michigan over Louisville, and Wichita State over Kentucky.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

Stinkin' Badgers.

Kill my bracket.

Don't blame the Badgers. Look in the mirror.

I hope you at least did not pick Minnesota. That was way too obvious.

4 straight visits for UW to the Field of 16. Longest stretch currently in play.

mccullough म्हणाले...

The NCAA's bias against the BIG Ten is coming to bite the better seeds in the ass. Northwestern played a good game against Gonzaga in addition to the Badgers knocking off the defending champs. The ACC has a glass jaw that's going to get broken again like last year.

"Other "upsets" to look for tomorrow are South Carolina over Duke, Michigan over Louisville, and Wichita State over Kentucky."

As to South Carolina over Duke, not going to happen. Louisville will have to play better than they've played lately to beat Michigan, as a Louisville fan, I'm worried about that game. I think KY will beat Wichita State but it's likely to be a tough win.

"This is our brief, shining moment." Fixed.

David53 म्हणाले...

But enjoy anyway.

traditionalguy म्हणाले...

Speaking of winners, try to see a replay of Iowa's Cory Clark winning NCAA Wrestling @133lbs. That is how you do it.

Meade म्हणाले...

Brief, shining moment. Thanks.

The person leading the brackets over at Yahoo has Wisconsin picked to win it all.

David Begley म्हणाले...

The fake spin back by Hayes won it. Great move.

Why Jay Wright didn't double team Hayes is a mystery.

Creighton beat WI but lost to Nova three times. Go figure.

Chuck म्हणाले...

I was very encouraged, I have to say, to see Wisconsin win. Go, Conference.

'Cuz Michigan's playing better than the Badgers right now. We're the best B1G team since the end of January.

I do fear Pitino and Louisville. (You can't really kill a vampire, can you?) I hope our seniors don't. Michigan is a 3 point underdog.

iowan2 म्हणाले...

Congratulations MeadeHouse. Enjoy the win. No matter what, Wisconsin beat the best team in the nation.

exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devil म्हणाले...

What a game! I went to a sports bar to watch it, something I haven't done in a zillion years, and it was a blast. Go, Badgers!

CWJ म्हणाले...

"True, but just think how vicariously great I shall be if Wisconsin beats Virginia, Duke, Gonzaga, and Kansas. Vicariously, in that order."

Meade, No way. Kansas and Wisconsin will never play each other. The only question is who will lose first. I won't be surprised if KU chokes tomorrow.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

True, but just think how vicariously great I shall be if Wisconsin beats Virginia, Duke, Gonzaga, and Kansas.

I don't think your Badgers will have to worry about the Cavaliers of Virginia. Sad end to a good season.

Gahrie म्हणाले...

I'm pleasantly surprised that SC is still in it....

Go Pac-12! (it still feels weird to type that)

jaydub म्हणाले...

"Nigel Hayes can sing!"

That may be true, but it was Vitto Brown who did the song so well yesterday before the game.

wendybar म्हणाले...

I have the Badgers taking it all!! I always pick them, because Badger is my grandmothers maiden name!! Haha!!

DanTheMan म्हणाले...

... and now you have to face Florida. Go Gators!

"Spirits in US province of Wisconsin are uplifted by meaningless basketball game, before return to customary ice, rust, and heroin overdoses."

My favorite parody Twitter account weighed in on the Wisconsin upset.

William म्हणाले...

I'm a Big Ten guy (Mchigan) guy, so I always like to see when another B1G team does well in the tournament (except MSU that is). Congrats on a huge win.

Heard this line last night from my better half:

Villanova should have campaigned in Wisconsin.

Meade म्हणाले...

"Villanova should have campaigned in Wisconsin."

LOL. Hillanova.

As if you couldn't tell, but I'm not a big sports fan.

May you get three of those four moments to celebrate....
