The Wisconsin Badgers finally lost a game. Nice run. They will surely start another one soon since they are the class of the Big 10 right now.
In the grand scheme of things, losing to Indiana is not a bad thing for the Big 10. Now instead of a conference of 2 good teams and a whole bunch of also rans, Indiana gets a big win which makes them a team to pay attention to, also.
I’m not sure if the Big 10 will manage more than 4 or 5 teams in the tournament, but it is certainly more entertaining to watch a 3 team race than a 2 team race. And, it will definitely help Indiana’s seed without hurting Wisconsin’s too badly.
Plus, it is fun to watch the Badger fan at work whine about the officiating at Indiana. It is refreshing to hear somebody beside me and my family complaining about it.

Great game today vs. Indiana. This was the first game I’ve sat and watched all the way through this year. Exciting finish, and I always like the underdog winning. Carver is one tough place to play for a visiting team.
