I'm thinking the Hawks, and especially JBo, would too.
JBo was a virtual no-show in that first matchup, until the final minutes when the game was already decided.

It would be poetic justice if Wisky got a 2 seed but had to travel to San Diego to play Long Beach State or UNC-Wilmington in Greenville, SC. I believe that happened to them a few years ago when they got a good seed and had go out west to essentially play a road game against like a 12 or 13 seed and lost. Wisky fans were none too pleased with that.
I think that was the year they were sent to the West Coast to play Oregon. Same year Iowa was sent to Columbus to play Cincinnati. Ohio st played iowa St in Big 12 country too(Oklahoma)
Since 2010 Badgers have 19 wins in NCAA tourney including 2 Final Fours and 6 Sweet Sixteens.
Would not be surprised to see somebody clock Davison in the big ten tournament. Everyone is sick of his bs.
I didn't think anything could make me happier after watching the game and all the post-game celebrations, but you did it! You made this night just a little bit better! Keep it up you obsessed weirdo, you.
Following dudes to their home board and calling them obsessed? Lmao
Everyone on Buckyville went to bed and I'm out here on the west coast still celebrating*, what do you expect me to do?
* Celebrating a(nother) Big Ten Basketball championship, that is.
It would be funnier if it was a non-conference player that decked him in the NCAA tourney. Pretty sure his reputation extends beyond the boundaries of the B1G.
It's bourbon. I'm not from Wisconsin, I don't drink that brandy shit.
You are on an IOWA message board after clinching a B1G Championship.
You are one obsessed weirdo.
Efff Wisconsin.
That is all.
That is all.
Wisconsin isn't a bad team by any stretch, but the fact that they won it validates the fact that the best teams in the B1G simply aren't as good as the best teams in the other power conferences. There's a reason that the B1G hasn't won the whole thing in 2 decades. The top tier B1G teams are simply too flawed on one side of the ball (like Purdue), others have talent but lack coaching or chemistry (the Michigan schools), and others still are fundamentally sound and well-coached, but just don't have the overall talent to beat the best of the best (Wisconsin).
Teams like Gonzaga, Arizona, Kentucky, Duke and Kansas would all rack up more losses in the B1G than the ones they actually compete in, but they'd still all win the B1G.

Davison has 2 B1G championships in 3 years. Iowa and Minnesota hasn’t won one in like 40 years. Brad Davison is a winner and you are are not.
He may have a B1G championship, but he's still a POS at the end of the day.
Don't worry, when you get bounced out of NCAA early you can rewind.
Good point, desperate badger on Hawkeye site seeking validation for his nut puncher/flopper.
Go play in traffic or tie a bone around your neck so someone will play with you, even if it is only the dog.
So. He's a dirty little **** who tries to injure people. Go **** yourself for defending that. Winning dirty is not the way. Oh. **** off again
You can say that but Purdue, Wisconsin, and Iowa have three (!) Top 10 picks on their respective teams. Out of all the teams you mentioned, who's stopping Ivey, Davis, or Keegan? Any of these players could go for 35+ a night/half a team's point total. When you have even one dynamic player on your team, you can compete with anyone on any given night, especially at the college level.
I would tend to agree with this. The B1G is definitely down this year. Anything can happen but it wouldn't surprise me if no one from the conference reaches the elite 8. Kenpom doesn't have any B1G teams inside the top 12 and Wisconsin sits at 24 and Purdue is at 13.
Brad Davison is a douchebag. I guess that makes you a douchebag fanboy.
Davison is the dirtiest B1G player of all time.
Here are 14 examples of his "tactics" that go back the last 5 seasons. Note, that these are examples of WHEN HE GOT CAUGHT.
How Greg Gard or ANY Badger fan can defend this guy is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable.

Dumb ass Davison was hooking and holding, but said it was Kofi who was doing the hooking and holding.
Davison literally told the officials to check the monitors and review it, which they did. But note who ended up with the hook and hold foul and who ended up shooting FTs.
From 2021:
This hook and hold resulted in the player falling and a travel being called. And watch the clown celebrate afterwards.

From 2022 (Feb 20, 2022 vs Michigan):
10 minutes into the game and Brad Davison's feet tripped DeVante' Jones and his elbow happened to find Hunter Dickinson's ribs on a screen.
And another nut punch to Hunter Dickinson, too.
From 2022 (March 20, 2022 vs Clown U, his last collegiate game):
He couldn't help himself as he throws a left to the mouth/face Clown player.

Problem with the B1G winning in the ncaa stems from officiating. They won't allow such physical contact in the post season and the B1G teams are nearly always in foul trouble. It is hard to adjust. We see it every year.
There's no question that the B1G has 1st round NBA talent on their rosters. Ivey, Davis, and KM are all capable of cracking the starting 5 of an NBA roster in the not-too-distant future. But what separates good programs like Iowa, Purdue and Wisconsin from lottery pick factories like Duke, Kentucky, and Arizona is that players in the Big Ten tend to require a bit more time to develop to become legit NBA prospects. Duke and Kentucky in particular are notorious for their "one and dones" - they are effectively renting NBA-ready talent for one season (and sometimes not even that) and the process repeats the next season. What can't be argued is the amount of talent that powerhouse programs get year-in, year-out; but what can be argued is the chemistry (or general lack thereof). It requires a unicorn of a coach that can amass that sort of talent and manage egos to win championship after championship because the most successful of MBB programs don't get just one or two four-plus star recruits a recruiting cycle, it's basically ALL they get (big exception though for seasoned veterans looking to compete for a winner, i.e. CJF). Mark Few seems to have this down as well as anyone as he recruits as well as anyone in the country and consistently makes deep runs in the tourney (let's define deep as making at least the Elite Eight). Coach Cal and Coach K are both extremely successful coaches, but are a bit less consistent with their postseason success as they tend to struggle with less-renowned teams because of egos, injuries, a star player sitting out to avoid hurting his draft stock, or simply underestimating their opponent.
At any rate, while the B1G's best programs recruit a little less successfully than the best programs of other power conferences (and for sake of argument we'll throw the Zags in there). I do think that is just part of the problem as to why the B1G hasn't gotten over the hump and won the whole thing since Sparty did back in 2000. I think that the physicality of the league does tend to make teams more banged-up and tired than they'd like, plus the Big Ten conference tournament is several days later than most other conferences which could mean that conference championship finalists from other leagues could be more rested than B1G finalists.
B1G conference games have some pretty shoddy officiating as of late, so maybe Iowa might benefit from a few friendly calls for once. I doubt it haha
Thank you for the greatest hits collection. 👍🏻Davison is the dirtiest B1G player of all time.

An IU win over Rutgers tonight wold leave them both at 10-9 in conference play.
Really hope Iowa can pull out a win tomorrow night to ensure they will be a game above Rutgers in the final regular season standings, for BTT seeding purposes. RU's final game this weekend is vs PSU.
