Undefeated wrote:Even though my bracket is busted (I had Zona and Iowa State going to the Championship game), but I think Wisconsin and Duke win tonight. Duke destroyed MSU at the Champions Classic back in November, and Wisconsin has the shooting to spread UK's defense and size that ND didn't have to contain Towns. Also, Wisconsin plays a slow game and runs a lot of motion stuff and PNR actions out of their Swing offense which favours them since UK always plays with 3 bigs.


If Kaminsky and Dekker play anything like last week they should have a good chance...

The NCAA made it obvious from the bracket makeup they wanted a Kentucky vs Duke final

They went 2-3 Zone the last possession. If they stay in the zone their defense is going to get shredded. Izzo has lots of good zone sets.

They look good pressuring the ball when Mich St brings it up court too.

Duke looks like they're on a different tier. Great run by MSU but they look outclassed.

Can't wait for the late game.

Yeah, they caught MSU by surprise a few times when they went to a full court press. But MSU has been getting some good looks against the zone that they can't capitalize. Costello missed an easy turnaround hook and Dawson missing elbow jumpers when he flashes to the middle.

Only in Canada would a sports network prioritize curling over the Final Four. It's actually embarrassing.
