Good Hoops Morning: Good on Good?
Wisconsin loves to jack 3s, Ohio State has guarded the line pretty well. Something's gotta give.

If John Mobley continues to play like this and Bruce Thornton can just keep being Bruce Thornton, Ohio State is going to be a spicy 10 or 11-seed that teams aren't going to want to draw in the tournament.

Here's the play that ultimately took Christoph Tilly out of the game Sunday night. Kepnang gets an elbow up by his ribs, called for an illegal screen.
TBD on how much time Tilly will miss.
