Quite a run for UW sports as of late

Funny - I haven't heard any hype about this game yet.

Post by: dolphin on January 19, 2007, 03:37:15 PM: I know...GREGG...it could be a really good one!!!

Post by: giantmike on January 19, 2007, 05:41:18 PM: That's because you don't live in Madison. Trust me, there's lots of hype over the game

Post by: dolphin on January 20, 2007, 01:32:43 AM: Giantmike...I know of what you speak. Anyone who lives within a stones throw of a major university and some not so major, knows how the hype can build. Believe me...we'll hear plenty of hype tomorrow, er I guess that would be today. Especially, tonight during the Buckeye vs Iowa game; since the Wisconsin vs Illinois game will be over. Good luck to your Badgers.

Title: OT: Big Ten Basketball
Post by: dolphin on January 20, 2007, 03:30:58 PM: that was a close one...Illinois almost pulled it off. Wisconsin hung real tough at the end.

An interesting aside...Bo Ryan does a mean Ham bone!

Post by: giantmike on January 20, 2007, 04:25:30 PM: Wisconsin has had a bunch of those down to the wire type games. Hopefully the winning close games trend doesn't reverse as the season continues (I have seen it happen with too many of my favorite teams).

Nevertheless, a great win and some great entertainment from Bo

Post by: Gregg on January 20, 2007, 06:33:56 PM: There were a couple of blown calls late in the game that hurt us. But, if you've got the better team, you overcome those things. Our team is hurting physically right now. I think they will gel when everyone is healthy. The Badgers didn't get rattled, and that's why they won a squeaker.

Post by: dolphin on January 20, 2007, 09:26:03 PM: Not real close, but the Hawkeyes started to come back early in the second half. However; the Buckeyes prevailed!!!
