Wisconsin HUGE in the Title

[meader99]

I won on Miami 2 years in row before that. BEFORE THE SEASON bets as well. So explain to me how I'm broke? Idiot. I hammered New Engaldn this year. You were on sea.

You want to wager on this game? Loser doesn't return to SBR for 6 months.

You were also on Miami in year one with LBJ, when you chased every single loss with another "max" wager.

Thank God this fukk isn't on Duke. Okafor is poor from the free throw line. Duke shoots 70% as a team and that includes Okafor's 50%. The only valid point you made is Kentucky is a bunch of low iq basketball players.

Only thing that scares me about Dookie is Okafor having to defend on the perimeter and Wisc putting him inthe pick and roll. Hopefully Coach K has a plan for this.

I agree that Okafor can't guard frank on the perimeter and his pick and roll defense leaves a lot to be desired. On the other side, they can't guard him in the post one on one and I think Winslow will be the best player on the court. Should be a fantastic game.

It's too bad we haven't seen these two teams play before to get a feel of what to expect....


oh wait

If you're going to use a game that was played 3 months ago as a gauge of how this one will go, good luck with that. Neither team is playing anything like they were then.

you're right, Duke is playing light years better now and this game is on a neutral court, not at Wisconsin. Thanks for pointing that out!

Duke blew out there opponent, that doesnt mean alot?

Doesn't mean much when you compare the teams these teams have beaten this tournament. Obviously both teams had gimmies in the Round of 64, but since then Wisconsin beat Oregon (not bad for a Round of 32 opponent), North Carolina (played Duke well twice) and then the two pre-tournament favorites to win the whole thing in Arizona and Kentucky. Duke drew San Diego State, Utah, Gonzaga and Michigan State (as a 7 in Final Four). Not terrible teams but not the same caliber Badgers beat.

[t-wizzle]

I like Duke here. Everyone is going to be on wisc after they beat kentucky. I'm confident Winslow can neutralize Dekker, the Duke guards should outplay wiskys guards. Only thing that scares me is Kaminsky pulling Okafor away from the paint.

Bro Winslow will not shut down Dekker. As far as Duke guards outplaying Wisconsin guards, I don't really look at it that way. Wisconsin's ball movement allows their guards to get open looks and penetrate because the defense is always out of place.

This game won't even be close. Wisc will win easily. Yesterday I watched both games even though I hate college bball. When I watched the wisc game, I flicked to non HD for a sec. I felt as if I was watching a game from 1970 with 5 black guys against 4 white guys and 1 black guy. And when the game started to get close, I knew Kentucky was done. Bunch of low-iq basketball players against 4 white guys and 1 black guy. White guys can all hit their free throws. That's gonna be a big difference. Duke is poor from the FT line and they make bad decisions too. Wisc won't turn the ball over. They are too smart for Duke.

I'm pounding wisc, this game is their destiny. I saw the movie play out. GOod luck

Goat what's up bro? You see the big picture here.

Wisconsin tournament road was tougher than Dukes. I would argue that Dukes victories, over the course of the entire season, are better than anyone's.

No doubt, Duke had the best collection of road wins of any team in the country. I was just responding to that poster using Duke's big margin of victory in this tournament, which I think loses relevance when comparing the tourney opponents.

Boys now is not the time to compare resumes. Past results have nothing to do with Monday night's game.

[jtoler]

10 pts is certainly no curb stomp, doesnt matter anyway, that game was 4 months ago, you guys always looking at the obvious.

I remember the game well. Duke played a great game. Wisconsin was not in their usual offensive rhythm. The ball was sticking. They just had a bad night.

[TwoWays]

Goatie has basktball knowledge. But his identification of talent is like LEbron James' trading wiggins for love

[nyplayer33]

If wisconsin won 3-4 mos ago, wisconsin backers would say seee see. Duke blew our there opponent in semi final and wisconsin was down late and won. I like Duke and much better coach.

Exactly, I remember the game but not the ins and outs of it, do remember Duke in a much better groove than Wisky. Ill prob rewatch it tomorrow.

Duke outplayed them from the jump. I just remember Wisconsin was not sharp. Their ball movement is not what it normally is.

Another big thing is that Dekker developed so much confidence over the course of this season. He went from solid "other" to best all around player on the team. Sure Kaminsky is the focus but Dekker is their most versatile player.

[jjgold]

Wenzel a lot of guys are riding you on this pic I would hate to be you if it loses

[meader99]

The game in December was wisky's first game back from the tourney in Atlantis. It's an angle I'm looking at next year. It seems a teams first game after coming back from one of the "paradise" tourneys is a good fade. I thout wisky was a little lethargic that night. The big question Monday night is how they are affected by the obvious emotional toll that Saturday nights game took out of them.

Yep, first thing I noticed, 1st game back from the Bahamas. I actually favor Duke here 1st half if anything.

I think Wisky would have won that game if Dekker was healthy. He was nursing an ankle sprain around that time and it clearly bothered him.

Interesting. I did not consider that but that's something to consider next year.

Yea this is tough coming off Saturday night but I think they will overcome that. I would argue they could just as easily be on an adrenaline rush and it could work in their favor. Either way, we don't really know. What's telling is that books seem to like Wisky despite the higher "seed" for Duke and Duke having won in the earlier matchup.

[jjgold]

I think Wisconsin little too big for Duke as Kentucky's NBA Biggs really struggled

[shopbar picks]

Wisconsin never panicked. Down by 4 in last 5 . They beat the number one defense in the country

[INVEGA MAN]

everybody is forgetting one thing about this game. duke will get all the calls. Also, Whisky won their championship when they beat Kentucky

Regular season SOS: Duke #12, Wisky #14 - basically a wash. Badgers road in the past 2 weeks MUCH tougher. North Carolina, AZ, and Kent versus Utah, Gonzo, and Michigan State, a #7 seed... Not even close. Just one of many reason Wisconsin takes home the title Monday night!

Comical post! Duke blew out a #7 seed while Wisconsin beat a team that was being touted as one of the best of all-time! Coach K is a bit better but coaching will not decide this one.

Hilarious you even bring up that game! It was over 4 MONTHS ago! Totally different situation now. BTW: Duke shot 65% for the game and barely won - it was a 5 point game late. If they shoot that tomorrow, more power to 'em, but I highly doubt it. That game was a complete aberration and the Badgers will prove it Monday night.

you mad coach K owns your shit conference and his boys will put their foots on your team's CAC throats again? yeah you irate.

[No coincidences]

I took Uconn to beat Kentucky in the finals last year. STarted a thread. Did you take Uconn meader? Everyone told me no, Uconn will get blown out. I said no, Napier is highest IQ basketball player i've seen in college in years. I get the same feeling with Wiscy team. Kentucky was a bunch of retarded fools that can't add 2 and 2. Duke is a bunch of morons. You'll see.

BTW what was Uconn to win the finals that year? They were like +240 I think when I bet them in the finals. Everyone on SBR had Kentucky. SUck my nuts.

Here's the thread:

http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/players-talk/2853504-napier-far-best-player-college-basketball-he-will-win-all.html

He is an NBA ready PG playing against a bunch of guys that will barely make an impact in the nba. Napier will be an NBA all star for several years, book it. He is already better than most starting PGs in the NBA. You all know I hate college basketball and rag on the shit talent they have any chance I get - it's clear that Uconn basically has a top 15 NBA pg on their team right now. I would even go so far as to say top 10. He is that good. It's not even fair for other teams. They are really playing against a borderline NBA all star.

You will all see this guy will be stud in the NBA right away, even in his first year. Plays a little like Mike Conley and they are both on about the same level right now - but Napier will have a much better career.

2014-15 Regular Season	51	19.8	1.7-4.5	.382	0.8-2.3	.364	0.9-1.1	.786	2.2	2.5	0.1	0.8	1.5	1.6	5.1

Only at SBR could a "person" (not even sure if this accurately describes GM) brag about a thread that "he" absolutely buried himself in.

You are just embarrassing.

[nyplayer33]

Wisonsin was a 4.5 dog that beat Kentucky, let's not make this that Kentucky was favored by 14 here and Wisconsin won the game. Also, all the smart money was big on Wisconsin plus the 6 or 7 pts, Duke was favored by 5 and blew them out.

Comical post! Duke blew out a #7 seed while Wisconsin beat a team that was being touted as one of the best of all-time! Coach K is a bit better but coaching will not decide this one.
