HOrnbrod Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 The NCAA Basketball Final Four is finally set: Kentucky vs. Wisconsin and Michigan State vs. Duke. I'd like to see someone besides Kentucky win it all, but don't think it's going to happen, even though they got a good scare from Notre Dame. I'd really like to see the Dukies get to the final but I don't think their chances of winning are good unless Wisconsin upsets the Wildcats. But that won't happen; Kentucky can probably whip 50% of the NBA teams with their size. Calipari's basketball factory strikes again.........
fiatslug87 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I'll say the Spartans, only because they're in the state in which our trucks were manufactured and I was at that campus for week back in 1986! Yeah, I don't follow basketball.
89eliminator Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 as a lifetime badger fan, I'm obviously rooting for them. i think kentucky/wisconsin is going to be a hell of a game. i'd like to see a big 10 championship matchup.
HOrnbrod Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 How sweet it is - couldn't have worked out better. The Dukies polished off M-State pretty easily, and in a hell of a game the Badgers KO Kentucky. Very surprising how WI shutdown KY at the end; bit of a choke from the Cats. Glad they are now post "undefeated" history, and the Calipari basketball factory is gone for awhile. Monday night should be a hell of a final game. Two classic teams and pretty evenly matched. Gotta go with the Dukies though.
89eliminator Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 WI needs revenge from that bad loss at home to Duke this season. Badgers by 4. Don, as a fan (who i assume has no ties to either KY or WI), what was your view on that shove to the face late in the game by KY? To me, i saw that as a flagrant 1.
Incommando Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 I am thrilled that the Badgers did it. To be blunt I hate Calipari. His ungraciousness in losing as shown during some of the post-game interviews is so par for the course.
HOrnbrod Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 Wade, more like a slap, flagrant 1 intentional for sure in my mind. The refs blew it, but it didn't alter the outcome, so that was good. Otherwise we would be hearing about it ad nauseam from the media. I've always been an ACC fan from my days living in VA, so I'll be pulling for Duke. But in watching the tournament this year, the Badger team and Coach Bo are due. With a lot of upperclassmen sticking with the team, and super old timer coach, wouldn't hurt my feelings at all should WI win. The previous Duke loss will be an added incentive for Bo to fire up the team, and they are a lot better prepared now than when they previously played Duke. Almost want to say Roll Badgers, but it doesn't sound right. :yes:
89eliminator Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 i am glad that really none of the bad calls decided the game. both sides had them. i just hope the refs are more on point in the championship.
HOrnbrod Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Man, two heavyweights duking it out back and forth. 31-all at the half, and as far as I can see, Duke has the inside advantage and the Badgers are nailing from the outside. As scripted. I think fouls will become important in the second half...............
HOrnbrod Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Yes. Too bad Bo Ryan had to whine about the officiating at the end. Was disappointing.
89eliminator Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 yeah i kind of wish he didnt do that. yeah there were some bad calls (like the out of bounds review) but it was a good game. both teams played hard, and duke just got more shots to fall.
