I’ll give the committee $100 to give Wisconsin a Friday/Sunday assignment.
Avoid a loss to a bad team, get a win against a good team, give an elite team a dogfight, don’t play four games in four days. A literally perfect Big Ten tourney appearance by the Badgers.

I've seen the "semi-surprising Big Ten tourney run turns into disappointing actual tourney appearance" movie one too many times, even though that semi-surprising Big Ten tourney run is fun in the moment.
Ideal Badger outcome today (I know player and coaches can't play and coach like this)...play well, look the part of a second-weekend tourney team, lose a close one to a very good Illinois team, get home to Madison, rest up for the real thing next week.
Yi’s workout partner for the draft was a terrible defender, but he sets a helluva screen
Badgers??
Ah yes, charging

Feeling the ping-ponging on today’s Friday morning hoops playlist
We’re back
Very
Now this is what I’m talking about
Complaining about officials is big-time loser talk. Perhaps the loser-est of loser talk. Still, two pretty big and bad ones against the Badgers on the last two plays there.
Somehow the one person in the world who thought this was an offensive foul was the one person who mattered.
Would like to thank whoever put this sticker up to mark that cool things happened here.
San Francisco first-timer, so I had to make a pilgrimage to the site of the Winterland Ballroom, even though it’s long gone. I was not prepared to be as bummed out by it not being there as I am!
The Athletic Football Show is breaking down film with players all week on Radio Row. In our first video, @qbklass.bsky.social talks with Fred Warner: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NckC...
We’ll have to do a crossover episode of these days, like when Jay Bilas calls an NBA game.
Awwwww hell yeah
Good thing the Bulls are 23-25 instead of 13-35.
If they make this happen after already getting Mike McDaniel, I'm gonna be that lightning bolt head Chargers fan guy next season.
