If they’re going to beat Wisconsin they should also beat Illinois to make things fair.

I think they lose sunday. Revenge game and Harper is likely out.

Also that freshman Illinois has who I assume is Stuttering John's son seems like their best player to me. Not sure why he didn't play in the first half!

The Michigan-Iowa officiating has been questionable, but Juwan pulled an all-timer when the refs blew a kickball

... or didn't blow a kickball

https://twitter.com/BFQuinn/status/1494483380456636420

technically his second technical foul and he could've been kicked, but his first was a class-A and this was a class-B one-shot

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

Iowa State is in a weird spot. They have 8 quad 1 wins, which is tied for 2nd in the nation, but are 9th in the Big 12 and have really struggled lately. I think they make the tournament because they have some winnable games coming up with OU, WVU, and Okie State all coming to Ames. Even the game at KSU is winnable. @Baylor is a definite loss unless the Bears are missing a bunch of people. They could easily go 4-1 down the stretch, or go 2-3. 4-1 and they're in, 2-3 and they'll need at least a couple wins in the Big 12 tournament to make the NCAAs.

I am living for the level of petty coming out of TTU.

Texas stopped single game ticket sales for the game because they noticed a sharp uptick in sales earlier this week of people using the season ticket holder "secret pass" to get around the barrier to buying tickets. They deduced that the code had leaked to Tech fans and that Tech fans were about to fill up the rest of the arena.

They are "holding" those seats for students and running free food, shirts, etc promotions to get them there. We'll see how that works.

This is all hilarious but what UT doesn't realize is that that code has been known for months on the tech sites. The people that waited for this week to buy tickets were just the few last minute folks.

What's more, Tech fans with more spite than money and more money than brains have purchased thousands of season tickets for UT basketball games. They had good season ticket sales this year, but so many seats have been empty with tickets unactivated because they're held by TTU folks.

I'm really curious how many tech fans make it in to the arena tomorrow. I'd guess that the attendance is in the 14k range, and 6k of those are for Tech.

Here's the best recap:

https://twitter.com/SethDavisHoops/status/1495505042157228034

The game wasn't close at the end, Juwan likely woofed at Gard after the timeout and didn't feel like shaking hands, then Gard mini-grabbed Juwan to stop him, which led to the Wisconsin coach involvement because all they likely saw was Juwan giving Gard the (pointer) finger. Then someone said something about someone's mother, which led to a Juwan mush - TIL what a "mush" is.

I turned the poo poo off at like a minute to go, then twitter lit up like five minutes later, so that last minute must've crawled and got everyone pissy.

I did like this reaction:

https://twitter.com/TheOriginalRD/status/1495500178526244870

The press part doesn't bother me that terribly. It's Howard being mad about the timeout. If Howard is pressing out of competitiveness, he better accept that someone else is going to make a coaching call out of competitiveness. Gard didn't have to take his starters out. A 19-point lead in the last minute isn't absolutely infallible.

Howard shouldn't be mad it was a timeout. He should be thankful that Gard's reaction wasn't to tell his players to get physical in response to the press. I have known coaches to do that.

That is a terrible terrible recap. Seth Davis is a tool. Michigan pressed Wisconsin's walkons at the end, they weren't going to get the ball across in 10 so they called the TO to get it over. Nothing more than that.

Howard: We play hard until the last whistle!
Wisconsin continues to play until the last whistle
Howard: You motherfuckers have insulted me!

He's a bitch, pure and simple.

If it was senior night, I could see the time out (get some names in the box score), but Wisconsin has two more home games.

It was wild to see live, CBS started the ttile crawl and music then just... didn't cut to commercial. Some michigan players landed some pretty nasty haymakers at the end there.

I have a feeling this is going to be a mess to unravel.

Here's the feed on that, for comedy's sake:

https://twitter.com/cjzero/status/1495488888952930308

Juwan should get 2+ (apparently 2 is the quick Big Ten maximum), 2 for the Wisconsin player that threw the punch for throwing one of the first, 1 each for the two Michigan players and maybe that instigating Wisconsin assistant coach, and maybe a light fine for Gard for the initial grab. But yep, messy as hell and good loving luck figuring that one out.

I think Gard and him have had a friendly relationship in the past. From everything I've seen, Gard is the kind of person who goes out of his way to be on good terms with other coaches/teams. I honestly think he knew Howard was unhappy about the TO and was trying to do the handshake/elbow combo (a totally normal thing in handshake lines) to try and explain things - I really don't think he was 'grabbing' him to instigate anything. Howard has the temperament of a toddler, however, so it just got out of control. Being a terrible in-game coach, Howard probably had no idea about the TO resetting the 10 second count.


I think there might be a bit of a pattern with Howard... lol
