I had the badgers saturday night, small on ml, big on the 5. Not shocked to see them beat uk. They re a great team. I also watched them celebrate, and read their quotes. They weren t satisfied, and certainly not shocked to have beaten kentucky. They said basically, kentucky was just a team we had to beat in order to move on. Theres no let down tonight.

Winslow and Dekker are a wash, if Dukes lucky. Impressed with both this kids skill and heart. Best match up of the tourney and I kinda expect them to cancel one another. That being said, dekker more experienced and i expect winslow to have an off night before sam does.

Where I expect the advantage tonight is frank and okafor. I think frank can cover okafor in the paint . He has the length and the iq and the experience. My question for duke fans is how does okafor cover frank the tank? Duke plays mostly man to man, and they have been lights out defensively in this tourney. Suffocating, picking up at half court. Tonight, they re going to have to play at least some zone. Okafor cant stay with frank on the outside. Hell, I dont think Okafor could stay with me on the outside. He is too slow and he, to me, always looks winded. Anyone on the wisconsin 5 can blow past him. He is a liability on defense.

Dukes had the easier road to get here, wisconsin is tried and true. They have the experience and spacing to give duke problems. I think frank ( or whomever okafor is watching ) is going to have a big night and I also think jackson coming off the bench will play well.

Wisconsin for this dude.

Don't see how Winslow and Dekker are a wash. I know it's college basketball but if the NBA draft were tomorrow Winslow is a lottery pick and Dekker is somewhere in the middle of the first round. Winslow, is the kind of player that teams go to at the end of games to take and make the winning shot. If Okafor comes out he is without a doubt the number one pick in the draft. A comment on the experience of the Wisconsin team as compared to all of the freshman talent that Duke has. By the time McDonald's all american type players reach college they have all played in multiple all star games and played some of the best college talent around. I doubt the Duke freshmen are going to be overwhelmed by the moment.

For once yah got most of a post right. Winslow goes in the first round if he comes out, yah don't believe it, watch and see. It'd be a cold day in hell before Dekker was taken before Winslow. The rest of your garble is good.

I figured much st would have a hard time scoring against duke. It was just a bad match up, unless of course, you hit your shots. Mich st had open looks, they just didn fall. No skin off my knuckles there. Beating izzo badly is impressive. But so is beating unc, arizona, and kentucky in consecutive games.

Don t sleep on this wisconsin team. I think the way this team spreads the court and shoots from deep is a problem for duke. Especially, what to do with okafor on defense? He cant guard anyone on wisconsin. I think frank slows him in the paint and the badgers continue to take care of the ball.

r.a. is an idiot, yah just got to humor him to limit his posts, LOL. It has nothing to do with the game tonight.

Yup, the idiot who doesn't post when his mom is on the way to the hospital. Do you ever really respond to a post by answering what was asked ... you are the king of deflection. Why don't you post that team picture from your Vandy football days ... you can just draw an arrow to your uniform. It does exist .... doesn't it??
