The Analog Cub Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I decided to go ahead and make my picks. The First Four I didn't see being able to upset the contenders waiting for them.

The Analog Cub Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Got the go ahead from 73 to make an official TRF March Madness Bracket Group thread (with a pin), in an effort to advertise it a bit more to see if people want in on this. Otherwise they'll have to wade through this thread. I stress again this is entirely free. Sign up with either ESPN directly or through FB. I'll be making the thread shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I didn't necessarily mean by Kentucky They might meet Wichita State along the way, who has been pretty good.

Principled Man Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 They may not win the Tournament, but the WISCONSIN BADGERS have one amazingly good team. Bronson Koenig - Guard; La Crosse, WisconsinJosh Gasser - Guard; Port Washington, WisconsinNigel Hayes - Forward; Toledo, OhioSam Dekker - Forward; Sheboygan, WisconsinFrank Kaminski - Center; Lisle, IllinoisTraevon Jackson - Guard; Westerville, OhioZak Showalter - Guard; Germantown, WisconsinDuje Dukan - Forward; Deerfield, Illinois Their comeback victory over Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship Game was a joy to watch. This team is calm, cool, focused, and determined. Frank Kaminsky gets most of the press, but Bronson Koenig has made a huge name for himself by filling in for the injured Traevon Jackson. To be honest, it may be detrimental to the team to put Jackson back as the starter, as Koenig is playing at an elite level. His CLUTCH 3-pointers and drives to the hoop led the Badgers to the Big Ten Championship. A National Championship for the Badgers will render the state of Wisconsin mad with euphoria. We'll set a new standard for intoxication ..... :haz: :haz: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I think the Badgers (or maybe Arizona) are the only team who could beat Kentucky. The Badgers never turn the ball over and never foul. They probably have the best game coach and player developer in the country. And they played Kentucky to basically a draw last year and have most of the same players coming back. Kentucky does have more depth this year, but the Badgers style will give anyone fits. If the Badgers play well, they could easily win the game. I was rooting for the Badgers to get a #2 seed and be in Kentucky's region but they played themselves into a #1, and worse yet, Arizona was placed in the same bracket, meaning one of those two will get knocked out in a regional final.

The Badgers' lack of depth may be their undoing. Duje Dukan has been on fire of late, but he's their only consistent threat off the bench. If they get into foul trouble (which is unlikely), they'll be hurtin'....!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
