We're over 10 hours from tip-off and Bo Ryan is already b****ing at the refs.

We're over 10 hours from tip-off and Bo Ryan is already b*tching at the refs. Thanks for the laugh 97! I would like to see an entertaining game but this game has the feel of a 30 point beat down where Milwaukee scores under 55 points |

"This game has the feel of a 30-point beatdown."
The last -- and only -- time Milwaukee suffered a 30-point beatdown to Wisconsin was on Dec. 23, 1995 when the Panthers fell to the Badgers 94-63 at the old UW Fieldhouse.
The only time it's been close to that was when the Sweet 16-bound Panthers were bounced by Bo's Badgers 66-37 on Dec. 15, 2004. The next-most-lopsided loss was by 73-46 on Dec. 22, 1973 at the Fieldhouse, the first meeting of the two schools.
The next-most-infamous defeat was by 90-64 on Dec. 14, 1994. That Panther team, Steve Antrim's last, finished the year 3-24.
No one would ever suggest that it couldn't be a 30-point loss, but history, the similar styles of play and the relationship between the two coaching staffs indicate that the game will be much closer than that:
Milwaukee 61
Wisconsin 78

Panthers are a 20 1/2 point underdog. I need a suggested online gambling website. I think we cover this spread. |

This is my first trip to Kohl Center since the 29 point blow out in 04 capped off with Ray Nixon's dunk. |

Funny thing is, I haven't felt as devastated as I did that night until Saturday -- well, maybe the 35-point beatdown joyously orchestrated by Tom Crean, but that was really more anger.
I don't expect to feel devastated at all tonight ... and that's a reflection of the maddeningly unpredictable performances regularly delivered by this team.
How can a team that loses by three to Marquette fall by 12 to Western Michigan ... at home?

Last year I was at this game and it was a 10 point loss. If you go back to last year's game, the stats were even. Wisconsin won the game from the free-throw line.

Last year wasn't even close to a 30 point game. I would even be so bold to say it was CLOSER than the 10 points or whatever it was. I expect the score to end up about 68-55...

At the end of the day, predictions for this team are fruitless and futile.
After all, I had us beating Cleveland State by 5.
Where's that Rum Raisin?

Can see the scenario already... yet another article and announcers ad nauseum saying how Rob is a Bo disciple, they are so close blah blah blah .... we go down by 20... Bo takes the foot off the pedal and we make it appear closer at the end than it really was.. maybe lose by 10 pts and everyone says how much progress we are making and how much improved... perish the thought that we should actually beat them like UWGB actually did last year....prove me wrong Panthers!!!! Would love it!!! Still remember the unbridled joy in 1992 when Marc Mitchell, Craig Greene, Pat Easterlin and company knocked them off at the UW Fieldhouse with chants of UWM,. UWM ringing from the upper tier. One can only hope. that is why they play the game

I would like to see a lot Kelm in this game. He could take a lot away from the experience of going up against Leuer.
