OT: Michigan vs. Wisconsin, BTT, 11 AM, ESPN

LUKE23 · Post #1 » by **LUKE23** » Fri Mar 14, 2008 12:11 am

Michigan is the kind of team that can give the Badgers trouble (athletic guards), but this is a game UW should pull out. I think if the Badgers win two games in the BTT they SHOULD have a #2 locked up (although the committee has screwed them before).

we all the know the drill Wisconsin will scare us fans for the first 30 minutes but then they will grind out for the win.

Ha, I couldn't watch it anyway, it's during school. But I still hate the BTN.

I can't see us getting a 2 seed unless Georgetown, Texas, or Kansas (in that order) bows out early in their conference tourney, and we win ours or atleast make the finals. I think our resume as of this point is the 9th strongest, or the top #3 seed. There's a pretty big drop-off after the top 9 teams, so even if we did lose to Michigan I don't see it affecting our seeding.

What would you guys prefer? Wisconsin as a 3 seed in the Midwest, or as a 2 seed elsewhere? I'm kind of torn over the idea, but this year more than others I think the top seeds are stacked. So I'd probably prefer a 2 seed and a much easier sweet sixteen draw rather than having to face the likes of Duke or Kansas before the elite 8.

I think the Badgers deserve a 2 if they win two games in the BTT. That's a 28 win season, extremely strong RPI, including a road win at Texas and only two road losses all season, which is impressive even in a relatively weak conference.

To answer your question, I'd rather be a 2 no matter what.

the only teams they loss to were...

Purdue (2)
Marquette
Duke

3 very good teams there is no reason why they shouldn't get a #2 seed.....its funny how those idiots on 1250 say the Badgers don't deserve to be a top 10 team.

Don't hate BTN, hate your crappy cable company for not carrying it. Sat owners have had it since day 1 with NO price increase.

AT&T U-Verse owners have had it since day 1 as well.

I have friends who have UVerse and love it. UVerse, DirecTV and Dish Network are all >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any cable company (especially Time Warner). I stick with DTV because of the Sunday Ticket.

The only way you can complain about not having BTN is if you're in an apartment that does not allow satellite hookup. Otherwise, it's your own fault you do not have it. You're also missing a far superior product and much better company besides (at least with DirecTV).

Better product and cheaper than cable.

Your parents have the ability to switch. If they like paying less money and getting more channels and better customer service, then they probably should.

The batteries that came with my remote for my digital cable box from TW exploded in the remote and I'm too nervous to try to get a replacement since they will probably charge me up the a for a new one.

My mom won't switch, she's not the change type.

Well back to the game. SHOULD be an easy win but you never know. Great basketball day in the state, start out with the Badgers and end with the Warriors.
