Msu almpost pissed it away but pulled it out.

No one believed me when I said duke was going to final 4.

Actually my favorite team but yea I saw them going out in sweet 16 or elite 8

Duke is tougher than I thought.

Last couple games should be interesting.

Gotta think Duke beats Michigan state right?

Louisville +3 doesnt pay out? i thought most bets were for regulation unless otherwise specified?

no one does that

going to be a great game but yeah most likely im betting duke again

I might be betting with my desire to see KY lose but I'm thinking +5 Wisconsin for the other game

How can you count Michigan State out after who they have beaten?

The four teams left are all tossups. Sitting out these games is probably the best play. I can see any of them winning it all, but if I had to rank, it'd be Kentucky, Duke/Wisconsin (tied), Michigan State.

And I wouldn't bet money on any of them.

Wisconsin getting anymore than 3 vs Kentucky seems like a slam dunk so thinking of unloading on them +5 and or the moneyline. I legitimately believe they matchup so well vs Kentucky that they will win.

Don't think just because Notre Dame came close that Wisconsin will.

I'm not saying they won't, but previous results do not determine future results.

I've thought this well before the ND game. Wisconsin matches up so well vs Kentucky. They shoot the ball really well and hardly ever turn it over so it will limit the transition opportunities for Kentucky. They good enough defense and have to the size to nullify Kentucky's size that it should be a struggle for Kentucky to score since they really aren't an overly skilled offensive team anyways.

I don't think it has anything to do with the MSU game. Is kentucky the best team in the country? probably.. Are they that much better than wisc? No

The skill difference is very small here. On paper wisc is the best team in the country. If i was going to bet this game it def would be wisc getting 5

I have Duke winning it all on my bracket vs NotreDame. Obviously that's not going to be the match up but i still have them winning.

Surely someone thought dook was gonna win their region. They were the betting favorites to do so, right? If memory serves, only Kentucky was a bigger favorite to win their region.

duke is a huge public team and they rarely live up to the hype

I think they beat msu by about 8-10 points

I don't get why people like Wisconsin so much against Kentucky. I understand that they have a guy in Kaminsky who can step outside and hit 3's as well as do a couple of spin dribbles from the perimeter and than float it up close to the rim for a bucket. However, I think people are forgetting that Kaminsky only scored 8 points in last years rematch and Willy Cauley Stein didn't even play in that game and he matches up really well with Frank.

Stein isn't just one of the best shot blockers in college basketball, he's one of the best defenders in college basketball. He's long and very quick for his size. Kaminsky will have a difficult time scoring in one on one situations against this Kentucky size down low. Wisconsin will have to run some big and roll situations with him and he better knock down some long shots otherwise I think Wisconsin is not going to have much of a chance in this game.

Another problem that Wisconsin faces is that they don't really have anyone on there team that can break another opponent's players off the dribble. Wisconsin does have great shooters like Notre Dame does, but they don't have the quickness that Notre Dame does. Notre Dame was successful against Kentucky because they were able to get in the lane and than kick it out to shooters for good shots. They were also able to get easy baskets in pick and roll situations with Zach Auguste who was able to get to the rim easily. I just don't think that Wisconsin who lacks quickness is going to be able to create similar scenarios that Notre Dame was able to achieve. If they do they will have a chance, but I just don't see that happening.

Bronson Koenig styled on the Harrison twins at times in last years meeting (albeit in small doses) and definitely showed he's capable of breaking them down off the dribble.

But I more gravitate towards can Trey Lyles and Karl Towns defend Dekker and Hayes from the perimeter inward? I don't think they can guard them all the way out to the perimeter without getting blown by.

I think msu or duke would give them more trouble. Not to poopoo on wisky fans but only reason they even made the finnal 4 is because they shot 66 percent from 3 which is an absurd percentage
