UW-Duke Dissected

Here's the Basketball Prospectus link to their take on the game.  http://www.basketballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=55
Sorry if it's already been posted.  Here's the most notable quote in my opinion:

On offense last night, Duke looked a little like Memphis, or at least they did until a shot went up. The Devils spread the floor and took the larger (i.e., slower) Badgers off the dribble. Where the similarly-spaced Tigers under John Calipari would have then shot the ball from the lane, however, Coach K's men usually preferred to dish the ball to an open teammate on the arc. It worked because Wisconsin had to defend multiple three-point threats; Taylor King made five threes in 20 minutes of playing time. The Badgers had to come out and guard these guys. Also note that DeMarcus Nelson, who alone among the Devils struggled to make shots, was nevertheless able to help the cause by dishing five assists in 17 first-half minutes.

I really hope that Crean takes this into account in his lineup selection.  Cube needs to play serious minutes (more than he has been playing up to now) and everyone needs to pray for Fitzgerald to heal as quickly as Wolverine.
