Look, you know exactly how this game will go. It's the same every fucking year up there.
Iowa and Wisconsin slog their way through one of the ugliest first halves you've ever seen. Wisconsin's giant white guy gets away with felony assault every time an Iowa player drives the lane, Wisconsin is stone cold from the field, Iowa can't stop turning the ball over, and it's 25-22 Wisconsin at the half. Second half rolls around, everything stays the same, then Wisconsin hits three 3s in a row with 14:00 left, and the rest of the game features a wholly insurmountable 8-point deficit. Final score's like 63-53, and hundreds of Iowa fans completely give up on the season.
Every. fucking. year.
But fuck it, we're masochists. We'll be here and we hope you are too. If we must hurt, let's hurt together.

messed up the pregame feed and i got to listen to the Tenneessee game…BASTARDS…
this place smells like feet. i’ll bring a can of lysol next week.
Prediction
Landry (who has been in Madison since 2000) drops about 25 points, 22 of which come in the second half.
Every. fucking. year.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Prediction
Krabbenhoft fouls out Tate, Cole and Palmer on his way to 32 points; then he flashes that killer grin of his much to everyone’s annoyance.
No, not lady killer grin – baby killer grin.
FUCK YOU WAYNE LARRIVEE
that was not a “home upset over Northwestern.” Iowa was favored and Northwestern is just Northwestern. You fucking shitbag.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Hold on a sec...
First off, saying this will be one of the ugliest first halves we’ve ever seen is setting the bar pretty high. Totally justified, but still.
And secondly, what makes you think any Iowa player will drive the lane? You saw the last game.
Because jNW is the only team in America dumb enough not to man up on Iowa.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Cole "has played very well in the last couple games."
Larrivee is just making shit up now.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Leuer is matched up on Bawinkel
He posted up on him then… passed out of it?
Oh never mind, Hughes just nailed a 3.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Jake Kelly tries to turn the ball over and fails
Five seconds later, he gets his wish by palming the ball. You bastard.
7-5 Wisconsin at the first media timeout.

At ease, gentlemen
Believe it or not, this game is the best thing on television where I am.

EL PRESIDENTE IN THE GAME
Wisconsin is fucked now.

Peterson runs right around Landry, hits a jumper in the paint
Game tied at 9. You know how this ends.

Fucking Leuer
Once again he passes out of an easy bucket inside, and once again Wisconsin gets a 3 out of it.

Wait a second
Is Jason Bohannon actually Ben Folds in his short hair phase?

Ben Folds had easily the prettiest jumper

Does Jake have an inner ear infection?
I know he has two broken fingers but c’mon, that’s three traveling calls already
They're clearly calling nothing tonight
I think there’s been about 4 fouls called in the game. Iowa knows what to do.

"Travon Hughes slipped and fell"
Travon Hughes got screened to shit by EL PRESIDENTE.
Peterson cans a trey, tied at 14. Time out Iowa with 10:30 left in the first.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Check that
Screened to shit by Jarryd Cole… El Secretary of the Interiore!
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Cole draws a foul by overacting, still Iowa ball
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Seriously
Nobody fucking touched him, he just took a terrible angle on the trajec—OH FUCKING DAMN IT.
Iowa turnover, layup for Wisconsin.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
These refs are just blowing their whiistles randomly
Cole dives for a loose ball, touches nobody, and is called for a foul.
For crying out loud.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
My fault
I forgot the Krabbenhoft Rule is in effect regardless of who is defending.

Meanwhile, Cole is murdered in the lane twice.... jump ball!

Wisconsin hits a 3, Iowa counters with a turnover
And exactly where did Fuller think he was going with the ball, anyway? At the guys 5 inches taller than he is?
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
it wasn't the best decision
adding the sports package to my cable for the BTN. During basketball season.
jake the snake?
uh, no thanks, “Tim the Dim” Doyle
Jake the Snake
Has fallen on some mildly rough times.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Kelly hits an impossible shot, at the line
This time, he hits it. 23-17.
And according to Larrivee, the scorer’s table was trying to not give Kelly the bucket. Thanks guys!
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Krabbenhoft gets away with a push-off
Surprised?
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Nice pass by the Blind Squirrel, Moose hits for 3.
Iowa only down by 5 now.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Oh god, Larrivee is running with the snake thing. God help us all.
27-24 on the official TO, 2:30 or so in the half.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
8 on 5 and we're only losing by 3
This is unacceptable.
Just got here in time to see Iowa get ref-fucked and then read through the thread. Is that how this has been so far?
pretty much
These refs are unspeakably bad. They’re fucking both teams at will.

Bucky has gotten away with, oh, 5 walks so far
Everytime Nankivil puts the ball ont he floor he travels.
Jarryd Cole draws a bullshit charge
He slides under the guy and acts like he got hit by an F-150. Offensive foul.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Wisconsin can suck my balls
Fuck you, Marcus Landry.
Kelly with another turnover
Easy layup, Landry molests Gatens for no reason, Gatens T’ed up for resisting. Great.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Landry rode him all the
way down the lane, pushing on his back – so, yeah, Gaten jacked him in the head
I guess Gatens can get elbowed in the last game and blooded up
No foul.
What the fuck ever.
Good for Matt.
Landry is a bit of a flopper
he overreacts more than a little – happened to Kelly (I think) in the game in Iowa City
Wisconsin finishes the half with a 7-point possession.
My handgun is saying things to me.

That was the poll total
Iowa hasn’t been that close since the middle of Wisconsin’s 7-point possession.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Can they start instituting some mercy rules?
I’m thinking no more travelling, if the ball hits the rim it’s 1 point, and Iowa gets 1 extra guy on defense.

Oh, great
they found the ONE MOTHERFUCKER who can turn the ball over with more regularity than Peterson. Nice work guys.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
As much as Kelly tunrs it over...
He has a great step back jumper and his first step is awesome and he can get to the rim.
Just curious
Why does Wisconsin have the “Ho-Chunk Nation” as a scorer’s table sponsor? Is that even appropriate for broadcast???

They're a real Indian tribe pretty close to the Illinois border, I think.

Now let us use rudimentary pulleys to drop cinder blocks onto our skulls and then never speak of this game again.
