Principled Man Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I can't believe they let them run the whole clock inside of a minute... That was a mistake, but I don't think it would have mattered. They also didn't want to foul Koenig. SAM DEKKER......what a freaking superhero!! He was channeling Jimmy Chitwood!!10 of 12 3s in the second half...incredible. And when's the last time the Badgers allowed 30 FTs?10 of 12 second half 3's will win you some games, for sure. I'm afraid they've shot their wad and will have a tough time matching that effort against Kentucky. Koenig and Jackson will have to play a lot better. Notre Dame's guards gave Kentucky fits. If Wisconsin can do as well, then they can win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikenrooster Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I had no idea that ND was that good, especially on defense and rebounding. To a certain extent, they played the better game; UK was just bigger and finally the pressure got to ND at the end. GREAT GAME! That is what the tourney is all about, as someone just posted.

That is what the tourney is all about, as someone just posted.Funny, but all the hype was around Notre Dame's outside game. In the end, they got it (almost) done with a strong inside presence. Offensively, that is. Too many second-chance points for Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia almost beat Kentucky late in the season with a similar game. They were constantly drawing out UK's big men and making quick passes inside. You get them out of position, keep moving fast, and make the extra pass. You simply have to out-hustle them to the last second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Badgers only played MSU once during the regular B1G season if I recall though, so they'd have to settle for 3-0. Two other differences..,the FF game in 2000 was the semifinal, and I don't think the halftime score of a game between the two this year would be 19-17. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) If the Wisconsin Badgers win Monday night, they will have completed the toughest run for a No. 1 seed since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985. They have faced the highest possible seed in all six rounds: No. 16 Coastal Carolina, No. 8 Oregon, No. 4 North Carolina, No. 2 Arizona, overall No. 1 Kentucky, and now No. 1 Duke. It's never been done before. :o :o :o Edited April 6, 2015 by Principled Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Best-Of-3 series would completely remove any chance of a Cinderella team shocking the basketball world. Bilas is a brainless twit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Frank Kaminsky is really, really fun to watch. He'll take the ball out of your hands, he'll swat it away, he'll dribble drive right by you, and he'll drill a 3-pointer..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now he's consensus POY as a senior. Just goes to show what hard work and good coaching can do. Growth spurts after developing ball handling skills never hurt either.

laughedatbytime Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Congrats to my son's middle school orientation guide and the rest of the Blue Devils on their fifth national championship. Great run by the Badgers but uncharacteristically it looked like they stopped running their offense when they got up 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
