Msu kinda choked that one away. Aaron craft is obviously the greatest defender in big ten history. One foul that whole game. And yes I have sour grapes good game osu!

Man these B1G games have been awesome today...and all season. This game between Nebraska/Wisconsin is a battle. Nebraska is playing like its NCAA tourney is on the line...and it is, and Wisconsin is playing like a #1 seed in the NCAA tourney is on the line...and it is. Great game!

Big ups to Nebraska. Tim Miles should win COY. Picked to finish last in the conference and now has a bye entering the B1G tournament. Though I do have my concerns about them winning on the road. Excellent at home, very questionable on the road.

Wisconsin will need to win the BTT in order to be considered for a 1 seed now.

At least we know Sam Dekker won't be going pro. Dude had another one of his second half disappearing acts.

That was a slugfest. Wisconsin did well to hang in there and actually had a couple of opportunities to pull away at some points. Most other B1G teams would have been blown out tonight. Buckeyes get the Thursday gauntlet.

Thought Wisconsin weathered the storm well in the first half and looked like they were going to take control of the game after going up 40-33 early in the second half. All of a sudden, Nebraska started getting into the lane at will. Not surprising.

In all six conference losses, Wisconsin has lost the exact same way. Have to admit, it is quite frustrating that Wisconsin doesn't hedge on ball screens.

Been watching Nebraska all year in these Big Ten Network games.

Seven of their top eight rotation players are returning, including their three best players who are all sophomores.

Tim Miles has done an amazing job. The support in that building is incredible. I love this team.

Go Big Red.

We need a new thread for the big Ten tournament. Post there for BTT matters.

I'd love to see the Huskers get in the big dance. Good for them winning today

They're a lock unless they lose to Purdue. If they lose to Ohio State, they're in.

Yeah, they have some big time wins for sure (including @msu). The SOS is good too. I'm happy for that program, plus they have Walter Pitchford who used to play for florida.

Good game.

Early on, I felt like Nebraska had no answer for Kaminsky inside. Then, for whatever reason, it stopped. He wasn't getting as many looks inside, when he did get touches, it was mostly on the perimeter. That was a horrible matchup for Nebraska that I felt Wisconsin should've taken advantage of more often. Just my opinion.

I agree with that. Too many of his touches were coming on the outside. I mean, he can shoot, but that's not where he provides the biggest advantage for the Badgers.

For a long stretch there early in the 2nd half, it really felt like Nebraska was having to work hard for every stop and rebound, while Wisconsin was pretty comfortable on defense and Nebraska was settling.

That all flipped pretty quickly and it led to a big Nebraska run. It was definitely fun to watch.

Even with rooting for Nebraska, I was taken back that they were able to drive straight to the hoop like that time after time after time.

Really happy for Ray Gallegos. Going into the Indiana game, he had missed 31 of his last 37 3's over a 9 game stretch. Gallegos hit the three to go up for good. Hope he can keep it up.

I really hope they don't match up with a pressing, up-tempo team in the NCAA tournament because they'll probably get crushed.

Man. Was that not one of the ugliest attempts to break the press ever when Ray tried to take it himself? Ugh.
