Can't wait for the rematch of the Big 10/ACC challenge back in November/December

 

[pennstatenut]

I'm torn. I have KY vs. Duke in the Final. Wouldn't mind seeing Wisky and Sparty.

Hey H2S, good luck next weekend. It should be a great game. I hope whoever wins the game Saturday wins it all.

Skooooooooooooooooooooooo team B1G

oh, btw, game over Gonzaga.
No offense, but I would have much rather been paired with them...
(strictly for diversity's sake, you know?, heh)

Gonzaga was a tough out. They play very disciplined and have a superb coach. Duke was just a bit better than them. This is going to be three awesome games in the Final Four.

I'm hoping for a Duke/UK final.

It's the game everybody seemed to be anticipating at the beginning of the season, and it looks like we might actually get to see it.

Been a helluva few weeks.

 

[Runeman]

I think they both cover. Dekker can not make those "moon" shots at that percentage and Izzo's team is simply out gunned. Kentucky Duke final will be epic. I suspect the Networks want a Duke/Ky final; wonder if that plays into the outcome.

I'll take Kentucky -5 any day

Then you would have lost the Notre Dame game. Question is this, is Notre Dame better than Wisconsin? Consider and choose wisely.

I wouldn't have taken that in the ND game but against the Badgers yes. Can they shoot like they did last game? Chances are they don't. ND had one of the best guards in the game and Wisky doesn't. I think Kentucky ends up winning by a nice margin but it should be a fun game to watch

It's not necessarily about who is a better or worse team, as much as it is about who is a better or worse matchup. I'd also say who actually plays their best game is a factor too.

I think Wisconsin is a better team than Notre Dame, but I think ND was a slightly worse matchup than Wisconsin. If UK plays like they did against ND (one of their 5 worst games) and Wisconsin plays like they did against AZ (one of their 5 best games of the season) then Wisconsin wins by double digits. If they both play their "typical" game then I think it is a much closer game, but UK probably wins, but not by 5.

Not trying to put you on the spot. Just trying to say I can see where Wisconsin gives the Wildcats some problems where ND couldn't. The Badgers are a whole lot bigger than Notre Dame and Kaminsky can shoot threes where Auguste wouldn't. Also, Kentucky only led about a minute the last 15 minutes of the ND game. Notre Dame was a very efficient offensive club. And, Wisconsin is just as efficient with the ball if not more so. Five points or more? IDK about that.

That's what I'm saying too Trolly.
