March Madness has hit peak excitement! The recent showdown between the Wisconsin Badgers and BYU was an absolute thriller, but it ended in heartbreak for Wisconsin fans. Despite a strong second-half push, the Badgers fell just short, losing 91-89 in a nail-biter. As the final buzzer sounded, BYU alum and Baltimore Ravens star Kyle Van Noy wasted no time sending a message to JJ Watt, a Wisconsin native with ties to the Badgers basketball program.
Kyle Van Noy, a proud BYU supporter, took to social media to celebrate the win, posting: “We just wanted it more today! @JJWatt @BarstoolBigCat.” With this crushing loss, the Badgers’ championship dreams came to an abrupt end in the elimination round of the March Madness tournament. Their early struggles in the first 20 minutes proved costly, sealing their fate in a game that will sting for a long time. When the game got close, it was those three words that made the difference – “wanted it more”, as it often does in the world of sport.
We just wanted it more today ! @JJWatt @BarstoolBigCat

Van Noy is no stranger to the hunger and desire to win. It is that drive that has led him to two Super Bowl Championships and another appearance as well. Having played alongside the likes of Tom Brady, there are few equipped to understand the difference that “wanting” to win more than one’s opponents can make on the outcome of a game between evenly matched teams. If it comes with the bonus of ribbing a friend, like Van Noy got to relish with JJ Watt, all the better!
