UNLV leads 39-27 at the half. Did losing Butch hurt the Badgers that bad? This team just looks all out of whack on offense and defense...
Kam Taylor - 3 of 11 shooting, 3 turnovers, zero assists and a three-shot foul for the opponent's best player with 3 minutes to go in the most important game of his career. Wisconsin should be ashamed of themselves. 30-6, and this is how it ends, in the 2nd round of the tournament. And I almost forgot - Kam got BENCHED in the first 2 minutes of this game for not defending Wink Adams! "I'm just so focused on the game" he tells ESPN's camera crew on Sportscenter. Kam, you're a fucking douche bag
I hate to say it, but Wisconsin is embarrassing the Big Ten at the moment. It's bad enough that Michigan State got matched up with North Carolina in North Carolina and Indiana got matched up with UCLA in California, now Wisconsin's blowing our conference's one favorable draw? Come on Bucky! I don't care what anyone says, this is atypical Wisconsin basketball. They didn't play this way all year. You don't get 30 wins playing like this. They're just not executing on offense like they usually do. I know they haven't been a great shooting team on the season, but they have been very efficient, and they've played with heart, something they seem to have lost this week. This makes it two years in a row that a Bo Ryan coached team has shown up and gotten run out of the gym not due to a lack of talent but due to a lack of heart. It was really hard to just watch them go through the motions out there.
Whew, this helped out my bracket big time, since I had GT beating Wisconsin this eliminates most everyone else's Sweet 16 team.
Can't say I was surprised. Wisconsin has had trouble scoring points asnd I think it;s due to the loss of Butch. Get off of Kam, he made the game close near the end. I can't stand that Kruger guy from UNLV, jsut annoys me lol.
This team just didn't show up on defense today, and they just don't have the offensive weapons to compensate for an off-night defensively. With Butch out, their only real offensive players are Tucker, Taylor and Bohannon, and none of them really had a good game today. Its too bad, because even though I had the Badgers losing to GT this round, I have cousins at UW and I really like this team. I don't know if Bo Ryan is the right coach for this group of guys.
Safe to say Wisconsin didn't show up for this tournament period, despite their comeback in the previous game. I feel sorry for Schaddy, both of our favorite teams are out now.
I've lived in only two states in my life: California and UNLV so I'm glad that my teams are holding it down GO UNLV,USC, and UCLA

I drove through their once on my way to the great state of UCLA.
With how poorly Wisconsin performed in the Big-10 tourney championship, it really wasn't a shock to me at all that they lost today...I actually picked UNLV on one of my bracket's and in the Round of 32 Prediction thread. With Wisconsin's offense struggling lately, they had little chance against a solid shooting and grossly underseeded team like UNLV...
