That's the distinguishing factor for me. Only mutual opponent and Duke was vastly superior. Duke ML it is.
    Or, you can look at the score of the duke wisconsin game in november and save you the mental trouble of doing the common opponent thing.

    Watching box scores can help but watching the game can tell a different story. Wisconsin trailed by eleven with 8 minutes left and were getting outplayed. But, at that point, they raised their game and was able to erase that lead and shut michigan state down in overtime. Overtime, it was 11-0 for Wisconsin. Depending on what you like, that may or may not be impressive. Also, Dekker has been a different player in the tournament; he's playing like he's one of the three best player in all of college basketball.

    Comparing the Wisconsin Duke game from December to tonight is like comparing the three game set between the Orioles and Royals from last May to the ALCS from last October.

    Apples and oranges.

    I think Nash mentioned it but you can bet that beating Kentucky is one reason we are seeing Wisconsin -1 everywhere. Putting the team that beat Kentucky as an underdog could have extreme public consequences. Any time Wisconsin was an underdog, it didn't last long.

    For Duke to win, Kenny, Reggie, Ernie & 4seasons have to be wrong, and Sir Charles will be right. Good luck with Duke not winning.

    Duke definitely looks better just by the current game flow but of course things can change

    i can't believe Okafor is being talked about as the #1 pick. out of shape, plays below the rim, slow feet, can't finish in traffic, and plays defense with his hands.

    if Knicks get #1, i could see Phil wanting Towns instead. (not that he's much better)

    i haven't seen a single player in this tourney be worthy of a top 10 pick.
