Gotta be hot from deep. They are really tough to finish against when penetrating because of all of their bigs.

When defending UK, I would pack everyone inside. Make UK shoot 3s and hope they're not hot. Although I'd try not to let Booker shoot any open 3s. He can drain them. But I do think you have to take your chances with the Harrison twins. I'd rather them beat me by making big shots than constantly allowing Towns and the other bigs to hit easy shots.

The Harrison's and Lyles are very overated. Attack them and shoot 3's. Cauley Stein is just defense. Put your weakest big man on him. Press from time to time with the press I invented. My 1-2-1-1 press. Ever notice when a team presses. The first pass goes back to the guy who inbounded the ball. Take that away, then trap the very next pass which will be right before the 10 second line.

So now we see that Vlad is a master of basketball strategy....... not just a master of minority relations.

I'm right as usual. This game will come down to the last minute if they win and same if they play Duke. Calipari is better recruiter but Bo is a better coach.

Winning with less is a sign of a good coach. Geeze, I have Peyton Manning and we won 11 games a season, I deserve the credit. Craziness.

use the blueprint ND provided:
make them guard the perimeter to draw the bigs away from the basket, run pick and rolls to make them play d in the half court. Wisconsin excels doing this against nearly every d they faced

I would beat them. Shoot 3's and shot fake. Use their stupidity and ego against them. All of their big guys secretly thing they are Anthony Davis.
