Not to get off topic from Bernie, but

At the half, #17 Wisconsin is losing to Illinois 17-7.

I have two questions; 1) what decade is this? The 1920's? and 2) did Dean Smith go to Madison and install the four corners?

I have seen 4th grade rec league games with more scoring in a half than this

As good of a coach as Bo Ryan is, I would hate to be a fan of Wisconsin. Just ugly basketball.

It's football

Well. Never mind then.

LOL!!!!! Well do I feel stupid:bang:

 

[EastCoast2]

yea, i thought it was football also. lol, but good point if it were basketball

 

[jekelish]

But what's it say about Wisconsin's style, basketball-wise, that the score didn't seem far fetched?

Why would any top player want to play at Wisconsin?

Thanks for the laugh, Dick. You made me flip around looking for the game. Haha.

Haha, I thought it odd that a Big 10 game would be played pre-Thanksgiving

Well didn't Wisconsin have a game last year that was played in the 30's? Not the time period, the score. They don't have a flux capacitor, don't be absurd.

Wasn't in the Big10 tourney? Final score vs. Penn State was like 37-33

Yea i think a big 10 tourny game last year was played in the 30s

Don't they have the one of the longest consecutive streaks of making the tourney? Gonzaga, Duke, Kansas, and Wisconsin, I believe, are the only ones with streaks dating to the 90s.

Great campus, great fans, great coach, great academics. And there are actually a lot of guys who like halfcourt basketball.

That said, UW doesn't generally get top playes. Bo Ryan does it with smoke and mirrors
