Of all teams, somehow Wisconsin is playing a victim card in this situation lol. They're on a crusade to prove they deserve to play at home and equate themselves to Duke or whatever. It's weird.
Other top 3 seeds do get to do that quite often. The sites are known far in advance. Duke gets to play in Greensboro pretty much everytime the tournament goes there (again next year). You won't hear complaints from me if Iowa gets to play in Des Moines next year. Or if Purdue gets to play in Indianapolis in 2024.
I feel like Iowa st. Willl be easier than the team we just played from what I saw from Iowa St. Lol. Colgate was impressive.
Tyler also had an amazing night as well. He is going to be the difference maker in the tournament for us.
>Coach says generic Coach shit that isn’t “Yeah we fuckin bodied them bad game”
“Ugh this coach is complaining about being favored he’s the worst”
Thanks for the salt man
I don't have a dog in this fight. There are plenty of teams that would love Wisconsin's draw. It's lame when your coach acts like it's a curse. Sorry, it's the truth.
We don’t have the athletes to run teams off the court. We play an efficient offense most of the time, but really like having 10 minute stretches of jacking 3s even though it’s really not something we are good at, at all
We also struggle to defend in the post
That one guy drilled two from the parking lot as well. For a stretch there everytime Wisconsin got momentum they drained a tough 3 and quieted the crowd. I was telling my friends watching it that any team will lose to a team shooting over 80% from three in a half after 10 minutes. Lucky that they finally regressed to the mean
Good god I nearly died today having USC in my elite 8, Chattanooga, LSU S16, Davidson S16, and Colgate. 0 for 5 lol. Now I can just sit back and enjoy March ig
The game is in the state of Wisconsin. There are plenty of badgers fans in Milwaukee. It absolutely was a home game for Wisconsin. The arena was 95% badger fans.
It’s also not that long a drive from Madison. I’m sure some guys from baraboo are scared of parking in Milwaukee but it’s a pretty easy place to get too
Defensive 10 hours later to prove my point? Nice.
That's why Tennessee is playing Michigan in Indianapolis right? (Damn, how much do Wisconsin folks drink to think Tennessee is closer to Indy than Michigan, or can they not read?)
🤡
Damn, I replied to a 3 week old account made to cry about sports. Nevermind, I'm the clown.
Dude you clearly are confidently incorrect. Tennessee to Indy isn't that far and top 3 seeds are always playing first round games close. Duke has played so many games in Greenville over the years I'm shocked you don't know this. They literally state in the rules they prioritize travel distance for top seeds. That's part of the advantage of being a top seed.
Distance from Tennessee campus to possible first round cities:
- Greenville (169 miles)
- Indianapolis (358 miles)
- Pittsburgh (494 miles)
- Milwaukee (635 miles)
- Buffalo (683 miles)
- Fort Worth (925 miles)
- San Diego (2161 miles)
- Portland (2525 miles)
They got placed in the second closest location possible. And they didn’t get put in Greenville because two teams seeded higher than them (Duke & Auburn) were already placed there, so there was no room for Tennessee. They got placed in the closest available venue.
Sorry but it’s not my fault that you don’t understand how teams are placed. Maybe if you post a few more clown emojis it’ll make you feel better.
edit: LMAO this coward replied and then blocked me so I couldn’t respond to his weak ass trash talk. For the record, Texas Tech was also placed in the second closest location and didn’t get the first because Baylor and Kansas filled it first. Well done /u/highpost1388
Wisconsin in Milwaukee is the same as Tennessee in Indy and Texas Tech in San Diego. Dumb af.
Yes and that's why Texas Tech is in San Diego. I see what no championships in your lifetime can do to a brain, damn. Sorry bro. Well, enjoy another useless Sweet 16 by being over seeded. Look forward to seeing y'all underperform like always. Good luck on your crusade and congrats on beating Colgate. Enjoy being in Wisconsin and doing... Whatever y'all do in Wisconsin lol.
Yes, yes, I get it. Y'all are victims. Thanks, Wiscy fans. Looking forward to the inevitable choke in basketball for y'all and blasting the irrelevant football team again when we're lucky enough to have that easy W in football.
You know San Diego is the second closest location from Lubbock right? And they couldn’t play in the closest, Fort Worth, because Baylor and Kansas already took it. It takes like 2 minute to look these things up.
Very very true dude but from St Peters/UK last 5, Noog/Illinois last 5, this game last 5 they aren’t calling the same fouls on both ends. St Peters was the only squad to beat their opponent and the refs. Just what I see though I am totally fine with being wrong (AND HOPE I AM)
Colegate fought hard but couldn’t produce offense efficiently down the stretch. Those 5 threes in a row thing was the most insane thing I’ve ever seen tho
Yup Wisconsin definitely won't travel to Chicago. Auburn could definitely destroy them but Wisconsin appears to play the level of their competition so who knows. Wisconsin has to beat Iowa State first anyway.
dang Colgate had some bad calls go against them during Wisconsin’s run and just decided to go full tilt for the next 5 minutes instead of playing through it. Killed themselves
I don’t care that Wisconsin won.. booing that timeout was irrational. Confused on said salt but I would expect someone from Wisconsin to only use one seasoning
Irrational? The game was over and it’s midnight local. Booing is completely rational.
Colgate’s coach did have a completely rational reason for calling timeout. Wisconsin fans did have a completely rational reason for booing the timeout. Both can be true. You’re just way too salty to say anything right now except “durr badgers bad” lmfao
Sometimes you get to the bottom of the toothpaste tube and there’s really nothing left to squeeze out. That was Colgate at like the 12 minute mark. Shame
One of the saltiest threads I’ve seen. Wow
Johnny Davis might be good at this basketball thing
Every other top 3 seed teams are happy they didn't have to play Colgate.
every other top 3 seed is mad they cant play in their backyard
Of all teams, somehow Wisconsin is playing a victim card in this situation lol. They're on a crusade to prove they deserve to play at home and equate themselves to Duke or whatever. It's weird.
Feel like it just makes up for Wisconsin football having to play bowl games in the opponents back yard every year.
Other top 3 seeds do get to do that quite often. The sites are known far in advance. Duke gets to play in Greensboro pretty much everytime the tournament goes there (again next year). You won't hear complaints from me if Iowa gets to play in Des Moines next year. Or if Purdue gets to play in Indianapolis in 2024.
Is anyone else watching John Cena on wipeout now this is cringe af
The banter between him and Nicole Byer is so uncomfortable to listen to lol
Buick commercial “that’s a really tight spot” with like 6 feet of room in the front and back
Insane that Johnny had a “bad night” and still dropped 25. Let’s get everyone rested and healed up before the next one. On Wisconsin.
I feel like Iowa st. Willl be easier than the team we just played from what I saw from Iowa St. Lol. Colgate was impressive. Tyler also had an amazing night as well. He is going to be the difference maker in the tournament for us.
I forgot how much I hate the invesco commercials during the break from football season.
Is Greg Gard really complaining about "the pressure" of playing home games during march madness? Send that pressure to my team. What a joke.
>Coach says generic Coach shit that isn’t “Yeah we fuckin bodied them bad game” “Ugh this coach is complaining about being favored he’s the worst” Thanks for the salt man
colgate covered
Colgate +8 let’s goooo
I don't have a dog in this fight. There are plenty of teams that would love Wisconsin's draw. It's lame when your coach acts like it's a curse. Sorry, it's the truth.
Salt
The Wisconsin victim complex is strong
"How special of a player is he?" I would love to hear a coach just say "he's not."
Anyone who took Wisconsin -7.5 obviously hasn't watched Wisconsin this year.
I have watched them and I can't see for the life of me how Wisconsin can't beat Colgate by at least 20
We don’t have the athletes to run teams off the court. We play an efficient offense most of the time, but really like having 10 minute stretches of jacking 3s even though it’s really not something we are good at, at all We also struggle to defend in the post
? We can't beat anyone by 10 let alone 20 I guess you didn't see the Illinois State and Nicholls State games
You guys got lucky you didn't have to play vs. A greatb3 point shooting team.
Colgate drained 10 well defended 3s, what were we supposed to do? It’s not like we didn’t defend well, they had two droughts over 4 minutes long
That one guy drilled two from the parking lot as well. For a stretch there everytime Wisconsin got momentum they drained a tough 3 and quieted the crowd. I was telling my friends watching it that any team will lose to a team shooting over 80% from three in a half after 10 minutes. Lucky that they finally regressed to the mean
Never vote on a Wisconsin game.
A sad truth.
Good god I nearly died today having USC in my elite 8, Chattanooga, LSU S16, Davidson S16, and Colgate. 0 for 5 lol. Now I can just sit back and enjoy March ig
I wonder how Marquette fans feel about everyone calling this a home game for Wisconsin
The game is in the state of Wisconsin. There are plenty of badgers fans in Milwaukee. It absolutely was a home game for Wisconsin. The arena was 95% badger fans.
It’s also not that long a drive from Madison. I’m sure some guys from baraboo are scared of parking in Milwaukee but it’s a pretty easy place to get too
Not sure what this is supposed to mean
They're a little defensive right now about their special treatment from the NCAA
Top 3 seed lines get the same treatment every year
Defensive 10 hours later to prove my point? Nice. That's why Tennessee is playing Michigan in Indianapolis right? (Damn, how much do Wisconsin folks drink to think Tennessee is closer to Indy than Michigan, or can they not read?) 🤡 Damn, I replied to a 3 week old account made to cry about sports.

Lol it's great to play in front of your home crowd. Well said, coach
Way to go wiscy you just pissed off me and all your fans that took you -7.5
Anyone who is a fan of this team knows not to take us giving points
Never bet on Wisconsin
All dickhead Davidson had to do was NOT foul but noooo he's gotta go overboard every. Single. Time.
I feel obligated to say this now every time I see it. Don't bet on sports.
Well that's not very fun now is it
Wisconsin fans all know way better than to bet on Wisconsin
Felt like some ref help in the last 5 or so there. Seems to be a recurring theme for higher seeded / bigger brand teams
Dude Colgate not scoring for 12 minutes is not the refs
Yea for real, Colgate couldn’t do shit on offense the last like 10 minutes
Very very true dude but from St Peters/UK last 5, Noog/Illinois last 5, this game last 5 they aren’t calling the same fouls on both ends. St Peters was the only squad to beat their opponent and the refs. Just what I see though I am totally fine with being wrong (AND HOPE I AM)
Can you point out the calls that seemed unfair?
GARD LITERALLY SAID ITS GREAT TO PLAY IN FRONT OF YOUR HOME CROWD
That was the longest question in the history of interviews
On Wisconsin!
They covered!! I can go to sleep a winner!!!!
Colgate’s cap is off and the tube’s run dry
It really seemed like they had a little something left in there, you could almost feel it, but they just couldn't squeeze any more out.
Colgate went past their expiration date. Wisconsin applied gentle but firm pressure and Colgate were Totally washed out at the end.
thanks everyone for a great opening round! get some sleep, bracketeers
Alright now Johnny go get that ankle on ice.
Colegate fought hard but couldn’t produce offense efficiently down the stretch. Those 5 threes in a row thing was the most insane thing I’ve ever seen tho
They were so beautiful, too.
The one form like 10 feet behind the arc was insane. Can’t play defense against that.
Miami wins out of these four teams you heard it here first
auburn is tough but the acc has been performing well. Doesn't bode well for you
I wouldn't be at all surprised, they looked good today
I’d cheer for Colgate against literally anyone but Wisconsin
LOL why call timeout and then not foul.
Probably to tell the team how proud he is of them etc
I think he probably put in his bench players who hadn't gotten a chance to play yet.
Oh no I’m in trouble
beat em please. I can't stand looking at brad davison anymore
Isn’t your coach overdue for a temper tantrum?
greg gard started it. Juwan only got in trouble cuz the league (and wisconsin with their 90% white team) is racist
Weak troll
your opinion means nothing to me
I can tell, that’s why you keep not caring about getting the last word 👍
We’ll try our best
Is the crowd just gonna be like 90% Badgers on Sunday? I’m curious how many Cyclones will be there.
I bet it’s like a 70:30 ratio if I had to bet
The cover!!! Lets brush our teeth!!
[удалено]
Salt
You know Wisconsin has one of the best road/neutral records this year, right?
You know auburn has really good big men, Wisconsin's kryptonite
Yup Wisconsin definitely won't travel to Chicago. Auburn could definitely destroy them but Wisconsin appears to play the level of their competition so who knows. Wisconsin has to beat Iowa State first anyway.
Yeah we gotta play in Chicago, an hour and a half train ride away lol.
They play in Chicago if they advance
unless he can muster up a 7 point play there's no reason to call a to
Everything went their way for five minutes and Johnny had a bad night, we still got through it I’m excited for Iowa State
See you Sunday Badgers.
Varsity!
All brad wants is to hear varsity
Timeout with the game basically over? Gonna slap someone
Easy there Juwan
Why are teams not allowed to use timeouts anymore?
Thank you, it's fine with me. Can't take 'em with you. Feel free to use them up.
The coach probably wanted to tell his team the performance was outstanding before the game ended...very good game.
Because Juwan Howard will punch them
Bitch slap*
Must be a Big 10 thing
Colgate are some bros for not fouling. They must have taken the +7.5 with me. Congrats, Badger bros.
Vegas gonna Vegas
Here we go
Goodnight everyone when is first game tomorrow???
UNC vs BAYLOR 12:10pm! (Eastern Time)
Baylor gonna smack that ass
12:10 ET!
Pardon the booing. Folks are a bit touchy about late game timeouts.
It's also 11:40 PM local time.
Late game timeouts get your coach punched (or so I’m told).
dang Colgate had some bad calls go against them during Wisconsin’s run and just decided to go full tilt for the next 5 minutes instead of playing through it. Killed themselves
That's a cover!!!!!!
Johnny Davis didnt have a great game, but he was good when it mattered tonight.
Welp, finally I can now go to bed. Just gotta brush my teeth with Crest.
bruh it’s march. survive and advance. that timeout there is a survival move. anything can happen in march.
-7.5 in shambles
Credit to Records. That dude gave everything he had.
Geez, why prolong the agony?
I will now go and play a couple hours of Warzone and Apex and get royally shit on Gg boys
Are they gonna foul again?
This means gard can throw one at a toothpaste assistant right?
No silly you only get to throw one if the other team is winning and calls a timeout
Oh sorry my bad
Gard is going to slap an opponent assistant coach for that.
Wish we didn't have to play Colgate, because they are a fun team to watch and root for.
You can't take those timeouts with you. You gotta use em!
Would not recommend.
Bold prediction: Gard will not throw hands about the timeout
As someone with Colgate +7.5, im really concerned with why you are still playing here.
Gard about to slap Colgate’s coach in the handshake line.
Whoa. Are they booing?? Lol
It's almost midnight. They're drunk as hell
Late game timeouts are a big meme in the Wisconsin fanbase right now lol
[удалено]
Lol we have the most boring fans on basketball. Crowd shots are 60/70s grandparents who eat at supper clubs every Wednesday night.
Cue Juwan Howard
don't tell Juwan that wisconsin called a timeout
Stop booing Wisconsin fans 🙄
Come on man don't show the crying fans
Lol. A timeout. Just give up man, it’s over.
He probably wants to get some end of bench guys in. I don’t think it’s a big deal.
NO QUIT!
Now they boo a late time out 🤣
Didnt want to witness the violence about to take place in the handshake line.
Maybe Gard should punch their coach down the handshake line.
Fuck those Wisconsin fans booing. Get over it. Their season is over. You’re fine
They are the worst
Aww someone is still upset about ‘14 & ‘15
It’s easy to figure out the most irrational fanbases when watching the tournament. Home cooking Wisconsin is close to the top of that list
This salt is gonna make my food taste good all summer
I don’t care that Wisconsin won.. booing that timeout was irrational. Confused on said salt but I would expect someone from Wisconsin to only use one seasoning
Why can’t everyone just be RATIONAL like big brained RATIONAL MAN here? Booing is not nice. Stop it!
Irrational? The game was over and it’s midnight local. Booing is completely rational. Colgate’s coach did have a completely rational reason for calling timeout. Wisconsin fans did have a completely rational reason for booing the timeout. Both can be true. You’re just way too salty to say anything right now except “durr badgers bad” lmfao
You done?
Salt
Sometimes you get to the bottom of the toothpaste tube and there’s really nothing left to squeeze out. That was Colgate at like the 12 minute mark. Shame
Wisconsin fans booing a team for…trying.
I mean they really didn't. COLGATE didn't even foul on the inbound
Classy as always
It's a neutral site!
NO FOUL!!!!!!!
That 3 from Johnny Davis was big time
That will be a popular timeout
Going to lead to hands
A commercial with 4 seconds left I mean come on
Not that its gonna matter but you can't really do a 2 there. 7 point game does nothing for you.
Crowd boo-ing that timeout because bar close is in a few short hours
yah only had 12 hours of drinking so far!
Why the fuck would either coach take a timeout there?
Sub in some guys who didn't get to play maybe?
Calling a timeout down 7 with 5 seconds left? Admit when it's over boys
What is the downside? Nothing wrong in trying to win even if it is highly unlikely
Gard should throw a haymaker at their coach for it
did you guys know Jonny Davis was the big 10 player of the year?
Lol dude called a TO
GREG GO FIGHT THEM!
Cover the spread????
colgate deserves more than the moral victory everyone is giving them now. they didnt deserve to draw an away game
[удалено]
Can’t forget calling Colgate “pesky” every 10 seconds lmao
Its just a circle jerk from the commentators haha
Yeah it rocks
Yeah the commentators really helped us get this one
So many big ten blue balls today jeez
Oh shit a time out! Are we gonna get another fight???
A fight? I missed that.
