Halfway through the first half of the Wisconsin - NC State game I turn to Lola saying this is the worst basketball I have ever seen the Badgers play, and I remember the Steve Yoder squads. NC State drained six consecutive three pointers to build an early lead and I told Lola the only potential silver lining was that sometimes teams with early long ball success keep trying to bomb away late in a game when legs are tired and sweat drips into their eyes. The Wolfpack finished 9 for 24 from three point range as Wisconsin, once again, found a way to win.
Three Big Ten Teams in the Elite Eight!
