Nobody makes fewer mistakes than Wisconsin. Nobody gets good shots and hits more of them than Wisconsin. Nobody plays better defense than Duke. Can the Duke defense take Wisconsin out of its game? Maybe, but I doubt it. Wisconsin by 7.
Wisconsin is going to win. They beat the unbeatable Kentucky team and all of their players are healthy now unlike when they first played Duke. They have the experience and talent to win.
Hindsight is 20/20, but Duke really had the edge, having beaten the Badgers by ten points on Wisconsin's home court earlier in the season....Kaminsky is one heck of a player, though, and Wisconsin appeared to have a height advantage.
Anyone else think that presenting the Naismith Award to the most outstanding college basketball player at the halftime of a game in which he is playing is a bit weird? Tradition aside, that is the sort of thing that could reasonably be expected to affect the rest of the game, no?

Duke will win. They are the better team. No one can stop okafor, Tyus jones and justice winslow. Coach K is the best coach of all time

This is going to be a very good game that should have a very uptempo flow.
A lot of people are going to focus on the matchup between Jhalil Okafor and Frank Kaminsky, which makes a lot of sense, but watch out for the matchup between Justice Winslow and Sam Dekker. Both have been on a tear as of late in the NCAA Tournament and could end up being Top 10 NBA draft picks this summer.
It'll also be fun to see how Bo Ryan and Coach K strategize throughout the game against one another.

One edge for the Badgers that no one is mentioning: the loss of Traevon Jackson in January allowed Bronson Koenig to develop into a solid starter. Now that Jackson is back, Wisconsin in effect has one great point guard who is allowed 10 personal fouls. Neither team has a deep bench so being deep in the point guard position might be a major factor when the whistles start blowing.
Badgers by six.

GO BADGERS!

Im just so happy that KY is out of it. And that two class teams, programs, and coaches are in it. The potential for a great game is huge.

Duke can smash a guys face and the guy fouled gets called so Duke can live on the charity stripe. Duke can touch the ball last and still get the ball.
What a joke.
