We Just Won the Toughest Matchup We'll Have All Season

[Col. Bleep]

Wisconsin isn't the most talented team.
Nor the best team.
But they are the most disciplined...they don't turn it over...they hit their 3's...play strong defense and a fast break for them is running their offense in 20 seconds instead of 35.

They just hit 14 three's.
14!!!!
And we still prevailed.

Great game!
There is no one we can't beat.

GO ORANGE!

That's a beautiful poem.

(Also, let's go Cinci!)

Seriously - 14 3s. SU never wins those games.

Awesome, just awesome.

The composure we showed at times was really outstanding. There was a few times where I was expecting us to rush threes, and for the most part we always attacked the rim and went for the smart play. Great jobs by the coach and the kids tonight.

To beat a team with the #5 rated defense in the nation and #2 in preventing turnovers on a night where they go bonkers from 3 is just insane. It also proves that for some reason the Sweet 16 is the highest wall for us to climb. Why do teams get miracle performances against us in this round? I feel like once JB gets past this game, its like a running back breaking loose into the secondary.

If I just saw that wiscy hit 14 3s I woulda thought we lost going away but the offense tonight was phenomenal. I dont think the D was bad either. Wisconsin was simply unconcious for a stretch in the second half. If not this was a blowout for the cuse. Neither Ohio State or Cincy scare me I think we match up well.

 

[Orange87]

Good job by me too. I still have three fingernails left,

 

[Madbiker]

The kind of game we would have lost in past years. This year we don't rattle and will shove it right back down your throat on the other end.

"they hit their 3's"

I agree we wont see another team hit 14 3's but now we have to prove we can stop a team with a strong inside game.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Badgers were tough from outside tonight. They shot over 50% from three and at one point the % was higher than that.If we hadn't been so tough inside on offense this game would have been a LOT different.

 

[triplethrea]

I always knew CJ would step up for us one day when we needed it, he's that type of player. And Dion? Major league, major *ckin league.

Kris choked a bit at the end but the D that Dion and Scoop put on Taylor at the end was clutch. Pure willpower right there.

 

[bballbeadle]

They never hung their heads. Never. WHAT A TEAM!!!

 

[STEVEHOLT]

are you watching this OSU game? i seriously doubt that wisconsin will be tougher than ohio st.

 

[Charlie]

To me it's not just that hit so many 3s but that so many that were well contested. I don't think there is another team in the tourney could do that.
