No one wants this, but we have this. Kentucky started hot, but the Men in Tights came back and now lead. Bucky still sucks.

Or maybe Wisconsin is just really really good.  And the betters gave me 6 points.  We'll see if it holds, but just seemed easy money a few days ago.  Still looks that way now, would be happy to lose the $$, but Kentucky is playing right into their hands.

They still have to win the title.  The only one they ever won was with 8 teams in it and the NIT was a much stronger tournament....almost 75 years ago.

I agree. Bo is in a very tough spot with that situation. Koenig is playing at an elite level and getting others and himself involved. Jackson looks awful and should go back to being a cheerleader. He's finished. He looks out of shape too.

Kaminksy has made some nice post moves. But his moves require 17 dribbles and multiple spins. That doesn't work in the NBA. Its 2 dribbles and a shot at the maximum.

Terrible officiating by the refs, bad calls on both sides so evens out.  

This one is on Coach Cal.  He started Booker and Eulis to start second half over the Harrison twins.  Whisky scored on three straight possessions, two by Kaminsky, one by Dekker resulting in an and one.  All three baskets were defended by Booker, resulting in seven points.  Harrison twins kept Kentucky in game in first half, why did they sit to start second half?  

Good win for Badgers, Dekker has to go pro, his stock will never, ever be higher than this.

Foul trouble will also be huge on Monday night.  Duke has only 8 guys, so fouls will be tough for them depending how it is called.

Have to think Duke favored by 3 if I had to guess.

Kentucky got conservative. They let their two second round picks try and carry them to the finish line. They failed. Should have gone to the lottery picks.

Badgers are so solid though. 5 players who can score from everywhere. Impossible to defend. Dekker and Kaminsky are probably 2 of the top 3 players in college bball right now. Koenig is a top 10 pg and Hayes and gasser fill the other two spots as decent role players. That is a complete basketball team.

Kentucky lost the game at this moment: Koenig shoots and it's blocked.  No one on UK bothers to get the ball.  Goes out of bounds to UW. 3 seconds to shoot.  Hayes is given 5 seconds to shoot and gets a put back.  

Why did UK run that half-baked offense where they wait 30 seconds and drive to the hoop? What a way to blow a game.
