Luckily they only gave up 18 so they were still kind of in it. Good news is they've scored 5 in the first 8 minutes of the second half!

Wow. Earlier today I was coaching in a tournament out in oconomowoc and we were down 17-3 at halftime. Ended up coming back and winning 24-22 in a pretty amazing comeback. Can't imagine that happening for NIU though haha.

Evans has been keeping Minnesota in this the last 5 min or so.

Ryan Evans is ****.

Why wasn't Dekker in earlier? He is their team. Good move to sub him in for Evans.

Jackson may only have 7, but I think almost all of them have come a key moments.

There it is. Damn. Good game.

I would like this team so much more if Bruesewitz and Evans didn't play or at least didn't play as much as they do.

Not saying he didn't get it off, but I'm surprised they didn't even look at it. When it was live it looked like it was good to me, albeit very, very close.

9 seconds left: Why are you still dribbling around, Traevon?
7 seconds left: Do you have any idea what you're doing, Traevon?!
6 seconds left: Oh great, an aimless drive.
5 seconds left: You better get a shot off!
4 seconds left: YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET A SHOT OFF!!!
3 seconds left: YOU BRICKED IT!
1.8 seconds left: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU*K YEAH, TRAEVON!!

Badgers will be loaded at the guard position next year with Koenig, and Gasser coming back. It'll be interesting to see where the minutes go, especially if Koenig doesn't redshirt. To me, Marshall isn't as polished as Jackson at the moment, but he's got much more potential. Gasser may not have to play PG after all.

I saw another angle that made it look like he got it off, but it was close.

Andy Katz tweeted that it can only be reviewed at the end of the game. They should change that to anything within the last two minutes.

I'm guessing this is about the bat at the game. Looks like they tried turning off all of the lights to try and get rid of it, or at least that's what I saw on twitter.

When I was still living in the city, I was once sitting in my living room when I noticed a black ball of fur was hanging from the corner of the wall. I walked over, and realized it was a bat sleeping upside down. A few screams and swings of a magazine later, it was flying its way out and cursing the whole way.

They turned the lights off hoping it would settle down in the rafters.

I've slowed down Jackson's shot about 50 times and I can't tell whether he got it off or not. Even if it went to review, unless they had an angle that they didn't show I think it would've been whatever we called on the court stands.

Also looked at the replay of the foul at the end of the game and that was a joke. Mbakwe basically put his elbow in Bruiser's neck, Bruiser had established position and Mbakwe was trying to go through Bruiser for the ball. Then he acted like a little bitch pretending to be hurt so he didn't have to shoot free throws.

I've seen this from a lot of Badger fans already. Trevor had a bum wrist coming into the game, so it definitely wasn't faked. I don't think he got injured from Bruiser, I think it was on the follow through when he took the shot after the call was made.

I don't think Mbakwe faked the injury, but I do think that foul call was awful. If anything, it should've been an offensive foul on Mbakwe because he extended his arm to push off on Bruiser. But I think the best call would've been no call. It's the final play of the game, unless it's egregious refs usually swallow their whistles.

Should probably sync up the clocks.
