ESPN commentator Jay Bilas on an ESPN.com chat:

Aren't Wisconsin fans tired of lamenting how underrated its players and coach are" Bo Ryan is the most overrated "underrated coach" and all the announcers do is talk about Hughes when doing a Wisconsin game. We talk about Kohl being a great place that is tough to win in. Here is the bottom line ... Wisconsin is one of the best programs in America. Hughes is one of the best guards in America. And, Jon Leuer is one of the best forwards in America. And, Appleton, Wisconsin has one of the best sports banquets and the best people in America in the Red Smith Banquet!! It is a great event!!
