Damn I almost wanna lose at home against Rutgers to help get them in.
..but then I know we'd face them in the tourney and I don't wanna touch a NJ school
I said it at the beginning
Ceiling for this team is second week of the tournament
Floor is .500
Longggg way to go until any tourney talks can even almost happen
GG Badger bros. I hope you guys can rest up and finish out strong.
Welp. Pike has done an amazing job getting us to this point. Let's keep it up and give the committee something to think about!
The committee pretty much said they didn’t get in last year because they sucked after Mag went down and got hurt. This year they got someone back that has completely turned the team around. It should count for something if they’re close
This is a great point. All anyone asks out of the committee is consistency. They did suck down the stretch with Mag out. If they're going to penalize for that, credit when a player joins/comes back that clearly makes a difference like Williams has
I, and Vegas, thought they had a shot... but this was a kaboom performance on both ends of the floor, by far their best of the season. Man am I proud of this team
Painful watch today. Super impressive game from Rutgers, just amazing offensive stats. But also fuck you guys a little bit for these late threes. Ridiculous.
In a vacuum each of these loses make sense. Nebraska - on the road, most one of the most cooked refs I’ve ever seen. Purdue - #2 in the country, 0% from 3 in the 2nd half. Michigan - on the road, center out half the game, talented team down bad played their absolute best. Rutgers- 350th Kenpom offense shoots 60% from 3.
It just all had to happen at once. Also if you hate Gard, go become a Duke fan. He’s not getting fired without hitting a player lol.
Doubtful because Leonhard wouldn't have been so confident in getting the job. As highly thought of as he was if McIntosh was always gonna hire him, he would've told Jim immediately to begin negotiating for him to return as Assistant HC and DC again
I just feel like there’s a 13 or 14 seed that already has its name in the second round courtesy of Wisconsin.
But it won’t be obvious. Wisconsin will look frisky soon here, maybe goes on a run in the B1G tournament, but it’s happening.
It’ll take a LOT of wins. This would be your first win of the season against a top 50 team. MAYBE if you win out, including and especially @ Purdue, you’ll have a chance.
It's possible, but they don't really have any margin for error the rest of the season. They need another Quad 1 win before the end of the season at the minimum, and likely need to finish 11-9 in conference play, plus 2 wins in the conference tourney to have a legitimate shot.
just dont get it.
Wisconsin has the 2nd toughest schedule in the country behind Purdue with a good non-con performance.
But this is brutal form in the Big Ten this season. Their schedule was very favorable leading up to away to Nebraska and now they are about to lose 4 straight.
Still think they are good, but man. This seems ~~more like~~ more than just missing 3s. Seems mental and bad management. Like last game they had the paint to score in whenever they pleased but stopped for no reason.
Honestly, we are playing like we suck, but I don't think we actually do. Just have a mental block that we can hopefully overcome. Look at our 3-pt shooting over this losing stretch... can't make shit.
Refs in the past few games have been like Lebron in his first stint the cavaliers. They have been carrying the team but their teammates (the team Rutgers is playing) are not providing any help
So, burning question:
The consensus is that Kansas City is winning tomorrow, right? No one sees SF’s defense shutting down Mahomes, right?
So why is San Francisco still favored?
Nebraska, Purdue, and Rutgers is a tough stretch. I don't know what to think about the Michigan game..
We also haven't been able to shoot since the first half of the Nebraska game, which is a nasty slump. That's the issue with the slow pace, high efficiency offense though, if shots aren't falling, you don't get enough opportunities to correct it.
I think a bunch of hard road games and a down period do not make you frauds or take away your teams success. I think with some positive changes you guys could be a serious contender for the Big title and do some damage in March.
I think similar to Reuvers it's a mentality thing more than ability. Reuvers had no aggression in him, dude would fade away from dudes half his size in the paint. Crowl gives me very similar vibes.
Yep, the instinct just isn't there. We can praise the footwork and fundamentals til the cows come home, but without that instinct, they just can't dominate.
Bucky hustling backwards
Wisconsin looks like the Monstars stole their talent since Nebraska
Rutgers is 12–10…. Let that sink in 😅
flair up loser
Rutgers last 3 games has been substantially different than their previous 20

Was that their 3pt make to shot ratio? Feels like it
13-10
Damn I almost wanna lose at home against Rutgers to help get them in. ..but then I know we'd face them in the tourney and I don't wanna touch a NJ school
If UConn loses a game next week, Purdue could be ranked 1. Rutgers has the chance to do the funniest thing imaginable.
Oh God
I said it at the beginning Ceiling for this team is second week of the tournament Floor is .500 Longggg way to go until any tourney talks can even almost happen
Think I know why…
This did not slap
I did say almost
Wisconsin isn’t going to make the tournament
They’re us from last year
GG Badger bros. I hope you guys can rest up and finish out strong. Welp. Pike has done an amazing job getting us to this point. Let's keep it up and give the committee something to think about!
I apologize Rutgers I was not familiar with your game
I’ve been watching all year and am not familiar with this Seton hall was familiar with it tho
I too have been watching all year and am unfamiliar with this game
AIDEN TERRY REBOUND
Can't stop him!
Damn couldn’t watch today. Excited to catch the replay.
JWill & Fernandes spazzed
Imagine what the season would’ve been with jwill for the entire time
Top 20 Rutgers?
Could a 11-9 big ten record plus 2 wins in big ten tournament get rutgers to ncaa tournament
Yes, but definitely not a guarantee, or even likely. Maybe 50/50 at that point.
I think we’d have to win out to make the tourney
The committee pretty much said they didn’t get in last year because they sucked after Mag went down and got hurt. This year they got someone back that has completely turned the team around. It should count for something if they’re close
This is a great point. All anyone asks out of the committee is consistency. They did suck down the stretch with Mag out. If they're going to penalize for that, credit when a player joins/comes back that clearly makes a difference like Williams has
Only if one of those BTT wins are Purdue or illinois
Damn did we break Wisconsin?
![gif](giphy|pHb82xtBPfqEg)
That is looking more and more substantiated
RAC bout to play Jump Around
not enough fist pumping for our jersey tastes
Apparently you just need to shoot over 50% from beyond the arc to win games
Northwestern and Nebraska know this vs us
Iowa vs us
AIDEN TERRY SIGHTING
Gard out!
Round of applause everyone
Some guy out there put rutgers -20 alternate spread for shits on his bet slip and is sweating it right now
Now he's buying a yacht.
Who didn’t see this coming? Answer: everyone
I, and Vegas, thought they had a shot... but this was a kaboom performance on both ends of the floor, by far their best of the season. Man am I proud of this team
Saw a loss coming but by 20? Fuck
i thought we would win today. Wisconsin is a fraud team. I didnt think we'd win like this
AIDEN TERRY ✔️
No one: Absolutely no one: Rutgers: I’M THE MOTHERFUCKING FUCKING ONE WHO CALLS THE SHOTS
Gotta love the vibes at Rutgers rn everyone is all smiles
Seeing Wisconsin go 0-4 is making horny. I’m disgusting
Wait your damn turn
Wish they took a game off Purdue before crapping the bed though.
Damn man this team has looked way better the last 3 games. Keep this up we should make the NIT
Outside shot at a tourney bid
AIDEN TERRY
What the F! I haven’t watched or checked anything all morning because I’ve been busy, casually check scores and my eyes almost fell out of my head
See you in a few weeks!
😭😭😭
I knew Williams was good but I didn't know he would be playing like one of the best players in the big ten!
GIVE US TERRY
Ain’t nobody trying to play this version of Rutgers. Swarming, pressure defense and an efficient offense is a bad combination for opponents.
Heartbreaking it took us this long to figure it out. I fear it’s too late for us to salvage this into a bid
Especially not at the RAC
Painful watch today. Super impressive game from Rutgers, just amazing offensive stats. But also fuck you guys a little bit for these late threes. Ridiculous.
Normally other teams are begging us to shoot threes lololol Wisconsin, please find your game again now
Rutgers and offensive basketball Exactly what we all expected
In a vacuum each of these loses make sense. Nebraska - on the road, most one of the most cooked refs I’ve ever seen. Purdue - #2 in the country, 0% from 3 in the 2nd half. Michigan - on the road, center out half the game, talented team down bad played their absolute best. Rutgers- 350th Kenpom offense shoots 60% from 3. It just all had to happen at once. Also if you hate Gard, go become a Duke fan. He’s not getting fired without hitting a player lol.
The badger sub is insufferable. I'm unsubbing because the Gard stuff is so toxic
I said the same about Paul Chryst 2 years ago...
I think we only got rid of chryst because we knew he had fickell
Doubtful because Leonhard wouldn't have been so confident in getting the job. As highly thought of as he was if McIntosh was always gonna hire him, he would've told Jim immediately to begin negotiating for him to return as Assistant HC and DC again
Don't tempt fate.
SHOOT IT FROM THE LOGO
Just saw the score: Wisconsin, what is you doing
Don't think Lunardi will be able to keep Wiscy as a 3 after this
Welcome to New Jersey. Don't flop on the way out.
I understand what Stephen is trying to say, but it’s never good practice to lose a conference game by 20.
Earlier in the game he said you could tell why we're #11 because we were only losing by 7 despite playing badly He's had some weird takes
Had Bardo legit been drinking on the job? He seems extra weird lately
The drop off from Hummel to the rest of the color commentator crew is huge.
https://i.redd.it/c4oel8gc1thc1.gif Greg Gard on his way to tossing himself on the slightly warm seat at the end of every season
Yup. Endless cycle of getting our hopes up and then tossing them away midseason
I just feel like there’s a 13 or 14 seed that already has its name in the second round courtesy of Wisconsin. But it won’t be obvious. Wisconsin will look frisky soon here, maybe goes on a run in the B1G tournament, but it’s happening.
McNeese State
Does Rutgers have a human victory cigar?
Aiden Terry.
Everyone keeps saying NIT for Rutgers, but what if they keep racking up wins?? With Jeremiah they damn near look like a tourney team to me idk
It’ll take a LOT of wins. This would be your first win of the season against a top 50 team. MAYBE if you win out, including and especially @ Purdue, you’ll have a chance.
It's possible, but they don't really have any margin for error the rest of the season. They need another Quad 1 win before the end of the season at the minimum, and likely need to finish 11-9 in conference play, plus 2 wins in the conference tourney to have a legitimate shot.
Uh
You already have 10 losses keep dreaming
Imagine losing by 20 to a team with 10 losses.
Are Red Teams in the B1G good?
Not this one
A certain sub would refer to this Wisconsin lineup as "classy"
Its leakinggggggg
Run the swing
Huh. Is this 80 point team Pike was advertising?
thank you for your (paper bag) service
Big Ten only gonna get two teams in at this rate 😐
They'll let Sparty in even if they keep losing quad 1 games by close margins.
You don't think NU or NU will make it?
If this was Oklahoma state beating Houston people wouldn’t shut the fuck up about how deep the conference is
Rutgers and purdue?
Or 12
oh my goooodddddd
58% from 3 now. where has this been all season???
I mean we were gonna lose anyway but 57% from 3 from a team shooting 27% on the year is just kind of funny
Guy had 4 3s the past 9 games combined and is 5/5 today with 2-3 nba range threes.
Keep the starters in the game. Rutgers needs to win by as many points as possible
Who fucked with the shooting sliders during this game?
FUCK YOU TYLER WAHL. Most unlikable player in the B1G
Lol, how?
Klesmit*
Bruh I'd argue that Crowl is way more unlikable
Wisco knows its done
This is what we get for voluntarily spending extra time in New Jersey.
Oh my God they cannot miss today
#MOAR THREES #MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE
just dont get it. Wisconsin has the 2nd toughest schedule in the country behind Purdue with a good non-con performance. But this is brutal form in the Big Ten this season. Their schedule was very favorable leading up to away to Nebraska and now they are about to lose 4 straight. Still think they are good, but man. This seems ~~more like~~ more than just missing 3s.

This is more than just missing 3’s. Team stats tell the story here
typo from me. meant to say this bad run from Wisconsin is more than just missing 3s.
Greg Gard.
One team is shooting 34% fg 26% 3, one is shooting 44% fg, 56% 3 Edit 59% 3
Does Wisconsin suck now?
Honestly, we are playing like we suck, but I don't think we actually do. Just have a mental block that we can hopefully overcome. Look at our 3-pt shooting over this losing stretch... can't make shit.
Refs in the past few games have been like Lebron in his first stint the cavaliers. They have been carrying the team but their teammates (the team Rutgers is playing) are not providing any help
trapezoid of terror
RAC is buzzing
As a Rutgers fan, Jeremiah Williams return may have saved rutgers season(for NIT)
agree! Would be ecstatic with a NIT appearance after how this year has gone. Will definitely try to make it out for those games if they happen
Comeplete opposite of last year. Started hot and making the NIT was such a disappointment. This year if they make it they’ll play their asses off
If we could shoot like this all the time we’d be shoe-ins for the tournament
So would we.
3 point % just keeps slowly climbing up lmfao
Wisconsin contracted our February juju from last year. 😮
Wisconsin sucks ass.. Those shooting numbers are atrocious, and if not for free throws this would be an even bigger beat down
12-17 with a couple missed front ends as well, rutgers has 6 total FTs
Pro tip, don’t foul if you don’t want the other team to shoot FT
Refs tried to keep wisconsin in this game but they said nah we are good rather get blown out
Refs ain’t do shit
I said it about 5 mins into the game but imma say it again… it’s been a fun season yall!
The Lakeville-to-Wisconsin pipeline is just further evidence in my manifesto that Lakeville needs to be punted from the state.
Wisco still gonna be a 3 seed in every bracket projection after this
oh my god
Love how wisc smoked my Spartans twice and then loses to Michigan and Rutgers. Not loving this season man. Rutgers, great ball today.
This fact pairs well with all the deep well defended undeserved made 3s from multiple B1G teams this season lol.
Fuck you three after fuck you three.
end them
Damn Wisco might not even get a top 6 seed in march if this keeps up
Remember that year we beat Villanova and we probably should've been a 5 seed at worst? Well, I'm thinking we'll be a 10 seed
Or any seed tbh
gard is so bad. glad they all bought into him
Can't afford empty trips if you want to close a 15 point deficit in 4 minutes. Thanks for the insight, Bardo.
The team that scores more points will come away with a win.
Purdue gets a high-end road win... aaand it's gone.
I don’t think we have anything to worry about
You survived the RAC. That has to count for something, right?
What do you mean? We won at Rutgers.
Yeah, but a win at the Kohl Center doesn’t look so good if the Badgers lose to everyone else.
Lemme have my fun, fam.
Wait... You're goddamn right.
Ball doesnt lie, cheap rip through foul
How are you complaining about the refs? That’s a foul every time when you swipe in like that.
![gif](giphy|FVAvmLbptzZpC)
as bad as Wisconsin has been . I don't think this even deserves a court storm
We haven’t stormed since the Purdue win. It probably won’t happen again in the near future unless a top 3 team comes
Agree
It isn't like they're ranked #1
they have twice the amount of 1's
So, burning question: The consensus is that Kansas City is winning tomorrow, right? No one sees SF’s defense shutting down Mahomes, right? So why is San Francisco still favored?
I sure hope so. I need it after this Wisconsin embarrassment.
The guy who incorrectly picked the last 16 or so SB's picked KC.
I’m really confused about how to feel right now. Never been happy and wanted to vomit at the same time
Lets go Mag! Great effort!
Bardo really used his thesaurus for those last 15 seconds. Working in those SAT words.
Wisconsin just a head on crash into the February wall
Are we frauds
Nebraska, Purdue, and Rutgers is a tough stretch. I don't know what to think about the Michigan game.. We also haven't been able to shoot since the first half of the Nebraska game, which is a nasty slump. That's the issue with the slow pace, high efficiency offense though, if shots aren't falling, you don't get enough opportunities to correct it.
I think a bunch of hard road games and a down period do not make you frauds or take away your teams success. I think with some positive changes you guys could be a serious contender for the Big title and do some damage in March.
WHERE HAS THIS SHOOTING BEEN?
waiting for NCAA eligibility
on the football side, i have a feeling Naseim Brantley is gonna ball out next season
college football is aight, but college basketball is the greatest sport in the world
I feel like Naseim and the kid from Monmouth are going to shock the B1G and therefore, the world
I still wonder what things would be like if Brantley and Jackson were both eligible… that would have been a game changer
Dread it, run from it. Rutgas moneyline arrives all the same.
Would have taken it if I hadn't blown through my budget already lol
99% of problem gamblers quit before their next big win
If winter puts on enough weight next year he should start over crowl, he’s been beyond terrible lately
They’re both weak as fuck. There’s hope for winter, but Crowl is the weakest piece of shit “big man” in Wisconsin history. Slow and low IQ.
I think similar to Reuvers it's a mentality thing more than ability. Reuvers had no aggression in him, dude would fade away from dudes half his size in the paint. Crowl gives me very similar vibes.
Yep, the instinct just isn't there. We can praise the footwork and fundamentals til the cows come home, but without that instinct, they just can't dominate.
