Really looking forward to Duke-Wisconsin. Might be the best pre-conference game of the year.

My upset special is Notre Dame over MSU.

Nebraska is getting absolutely hosed down the stretch against Florida St. Ridiculous officiating.


Nebraska holds on for the win. B1G leads 2-0

Ohio State is gonna get waxed at Louisville.

We turn the ball over WAY too much and have no inside game because Amir Williams is still a pussy.

Pitino using this game to throw some shade too.

quote:

5. The ability of Kentucky fans to get into the building. Pitino said that he believed that the atmosphere for the Ohio State game would be the best in the four-plus seasons of the KFC Yum! Center.

“We've had a lot of big games in the Yum! But I believe tomorrow's game will be the best atmosphere that we've had since the Yum Center! has been built.”

Including games the Cardinals have played against Kentucky?

Pitino said the atmosphere for the Kentucky game was no better than 10th on his list because as many as 5,000 UK fans usually make their way into the building.

“I don't think Kentucky's a great atmosphere, I really don't,” Pitino said. “There's 5,000 of them getting into our building. We got five getting into their building and they get 5,000.”

It should be pretty good. Georgetown gave the Badgers all they could handle last week. They might have some issues with Duke's size.

I don't know. We have shot pretty poorly the last couple of games. We had 44 points against Cleveland St. OSU will be the best offensive team we will have seen so far so it should be interesting. Hoping for a great game

We are really young and this is our first road game.

It'll be interesting to see how De'Angelo Russell handles the pressure of UL, but I think he turns it over 7+ times.

You haven't seen our back line I take it. It's truly abysmal

I mean obviously they haven't played anybody yet, but it looks like they are averaging 11.8 TOs per game compared to 11.25 last season. Obviously Louisville's attacking style never bodes well for any improvement from the mean, but it's not like their turnover rate is awful at this point.

I guess.

I don't think that's indicative of what might happen in the Kohl Center, which is one of the most difficult places to play in college basketball.

Wisconsin didn't play well against Georgetown despite the Preseason Big East POY having a career game and Frank Kaminsky missing all sorts of open shots (a dunk and layup included) that he would normally convert.

Anyway, looking forward to this entire week of Wisconsin sports with MBB v. Duke on Wednesday, MBB @ Marquette on Saturday, and football against Ohio State in B1G Championship Game on Saturday night.

Amir Williams might be my most disliked Buckeye ever. The guy has all the potential in the world and for whatever reason, he just cant put it together. Im patiently waiting for him to graduate so the Buckeyes can move on. Such a dissapointment!

So bizarre to see UVA vs Maryland as part of the ACC/Big 10 challenge.

Oh and screw Maryland. I hate their fans, with few exceptions.

Because of their history, i anticipate this game to be one of the more entertaining games of the series.
