I, too, totally forgot about the game and missed it completely. Wow, down at halftime and then looks like they completely dominated the 2nd half. Nice!

 

Is Duke on Monday or Tuesday?

Duke is Tuesday night.

According to one ranking system, WI is #1 in the country:

i guess you could say the game was "on" http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

 

finally get to see them tuesday...way too long of a wait.

The game Tuesday is 15 minutes from my home in Morrisville... I'll be heading down to the Duke campus to find some scalpers selling at a reasonable price (yeah right.)

if it is like anywhere else, be prepared to miss the tip and you will likely score something fairly reasonable.

 

good luck

I had no idea they played tonght. The Big 10 Network is really making a difference.

i had no idea as well. I haven't seen one game, I don't know how their doing besides reading these threads.

When i watch Travon Hughes on the court, his body type, the way he moves, and how he looks on his crossover reminds me alot of Stephon Marbury.

 

AHEM!

 

I think you mean, "his sweet pepper & egg sandwich reminds me a lot of Stephon Marbury's."

I can see the Kohl Center outside of my window but I haven't seen a game yet this year thanks to the BTN. I know more about this year's Marquette team. Fortunately, there is the big game tomorrow night.

i am excited to finally see them...especially at cameron!

Yeah I am excited to see them lose at Cameron...

Well, I'm one of the lucky(?) ones that have seen this team play. And all I have to say is look out Duke. I'm not ready to guarantee a victory or anything. But I am ready to say that Wisconsin being unranked is rigolldarndiculous. Duke is going to have a game on their hands.

Granted, small sample, buuuuuttt... judging from what I saw from Duke last week in their preseason tourney, the Blue Devils are the ones that need to be worried. LET'S GO RED!

UW #20 Duke #7 in latest poll.

Duke currently favored by 8. If I were a gambling man, I'd throw a few on Wisky to cover.

The polls just came out today, Wisconsin is #20 in both the AP and USA Today/ESPN poll. In the voters defense the only decent team Wisconsin has played is Georgia. Anyway as for the actual game I really wouldn't mind seeing Paulus take a few elbows to the face. I think I'd hate him more than Neitzel if he was also in the Big Ten. It should really be a good game, but I'm not exactly confident playing in that stadium with the arrogant student section.

In a sea of blue, our red-clad warriors will be just that much easier to enjoy.

Honestly, it has to be > 50% that UW will beat 8.

You know, I'd normally think that too, but the refs already love Coach K, and then on the home court.....free throws down the stretch could cover that spread for Duke. I would never go against them at home solely for that reason.

 

Coach K seems like a decent guy, but I hate his teams. He is my college hoops version of Michigan football--it always pleases me when they lose.

I may have missed the hoops coverage, but I enjoyed watching the hockey team this weekend, despite the results.

"(20) Wisconsin vs. (7) Duke can currently be seen on ESPNU"

 

Ugh the ticker is mocking me. Can't Indiana win this thing already?
