I like to talk smart about the Wisconsin Badgers... sometimes I even know a thing or two.

@JSteppe1 @. @JSteppe1 @MikeJMcCleary and @TheRealNickOsen ... You all did a great job. I read great articles from all of you this season.

Hasn't entirely set in that this season is over (I say while still writing from the Moda Center), but really lucky to get to share this beat with some really awesome people

@RealEricTheRed Just doing what I'm assigned, Eric. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows.

There's plenty of blame to go around for Wisconsin's NCAA Tournament first-round loss to High Point, a game where the #Badgers let a late lead slip away.
According to some on social media, the blame falls on ... Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur?

Estimated make probabilities: Banked 3 (5%), logo 3 (10%), leaning 3P with possible foul (3%), runner off the screen on right wing (20%). If all of those shots don't drop, it doesn't matter if Blackwell doesn't catch it or Rohde doesn't get back or Boyd missed a layup.

“(Jay Bilas) doesn’t like the system that he helped create... Can we all admit his entire professional broadcasting life is based upon one thing. Duke"—Wisconsin-Green Bay head coach Doug Gottlieb on the hypocrisy of ESPN college basketball coverage.
English
And if the coach spent time developing this kid and made him all-conference, he would immediately transfer to a bigger paycheck at Duke or Kentucky.
Sorry "kids" ... This is how you wanted it. You are now paid professionals. Produce or move on.

Got this text today from a D1 basketball player and got permission to post This is one of the new realities in college sports

The idiot coach who came of the Texas bench deserves to be fired tonight.

I was at that game. The last play was the only time the strategy of "put all 5 defenders on one guy and let anyone else shoot uncontested" was the right strategy.

Happy Sam Dekker Day! On this date 14 years ago, @dekker hit one of most famous shots in #wisbb history: youtube.com/watch?v=KGJzhz… @BadgerMBB @OliviaDekker

Oh? The bill is on the goal line?
So UW is running shot gun with 4 wideouts?

As AB 1034 reaches the goal line in this legislative session, a primer on what could be in store if this bill reaches the floor. And a new question raised: How much does the Wisconsin athletic department have in its reserve fund?

The sad reality is that in order to survive in college basketball, in next few weeks, you have to fire the highly paid, unproductive players the way coaches are fired. I think everyone is OK with that.

The Badgers have not been in the West region since 2015. All 3 times the Badgers went to a Final Four, it was out of the West.
DZ@zoellner25
@Evan_Flood @AndyHermanNFL Always west region and always a day game 😭

The amount of whiney, bitchy babies complaining about "the committee" WHO DOESN'T EVEN SET THE GAME TIMES never ceases to amaze me.
Yes. Everyone is out to get only Wisconsin, specifically. It's been a 30 year campaign between CBS and a committee that changes every year.
Middleton, WI 🇺🇸 English
@Evan_Flood You know the committee doesn't set the game times, right?
English
10:50 a.m. in Portland

Tough way to lose one, but if you're the #Badgers, you have to love where you're at going into the NCAA Tournament. Not playing on Sunday isn't the worst thing, especially since the committee would love to send UW to Portland on Thursday for a 11 a.m. game.

Didn't show up for The Big Ten Tournament either.

Can't expand the NCAA tourney fast enough if 19-15 Oklahoma and 17-16 Auburn are getting left out.
(Said absolutely no one.)
English
Badgers are favored by 12.5 points. They are the largest favorite of the #5 seeds by 2-4 points.
Jon McNamara@McNamara_247
That’s a rough draw.

@CoachMcNiffUWP @realseangrahn I finally just read your feed. You are a Pacelli alumn. Enough said.
Congratulations on your "championship."
Middleton, WI 🇺🇸 English
@realseangrahn @RealEricTheRed Yep - I get it. It all sucks & isn’t officiated the same. But in the Pacelli-Columbus game, officials were forced to make a call based on the rule book.
English
And of course Pacelli wins the state championship because the WIAA is terrible.
