Just call me Nostradamus

From our "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut" file

"I look for the D to clamp down on Nietzel and keep him from going off. Look for the game to be close until the last 10 minutes where Wisconsin will pull away."

That is what I predicted yesterday in my Badger post. At the 9:53 left mark in the second half Wisconsin was up by 4 37 to 33 they then proceeded to run away and hide from the Spartans.

And Drew Nietzel well Michael Flowers treated Nietzel like a snitch in a prison riot. MSU's senior golden boy was held to 1 three point basket for the game going 1-10 and did not attempt a free throw. I am sorry that was a form of basketball bondage last night.

Oh and lets not forget the Badgers setting a team record with only ONE count them ONE turn over for the entire game. That is just an amazing stat. They are playing some very good basketball right now lets hope they can keep this up till the end of March.

What a big win for Bucky as R10 pointed this is the best TEAM we have seen come through Madison in a long time. Now the National Media talking heads are starting to say 2 seed out loud.

If they can TCB two more times they will at worst share the Big Ten title(I have no clue how a 2 or 3 way tie would effect the seedings in the Big Ten Tourney ie who would get the 1 seed etc.)

On paper they have the easiest path of the three teams with only PSU at home and Northwestern on the road to finish the season. That NW games scares me for some reason it seems like Bo's teams have had "issues" down there.

My other big worry is getting through these last two games and the tourney with no injuries. My dream would be win the Big Ten regular season title and go out of the tourney in one game so they can rest for the Big Dance. Of the three titles they can win the Big Ten Tourney Title means the least to me. I would not turn it down but last thing I want is a bruising battle with Purdue or IU in the championship game.

Who would have thought after that debacle at Duke that the Badgers would be where they are now?

Great Day to be a Badger
