no matter what the number, I will be playing Kentucky on Saturday in the first h and for the game for the max. they are now 1-3 s vs the spread in their four tournament games to date and just had the shit scared out of them by notre dame. now they will focus tomorrow morning bright and early on wisky. wisky is now 2-2 ats tourney to date and im sure they'll talk bravely, but I look for them to get kentuckys second best game of the season next Saturday. the best will come 2 days later. that notre dame scare and the fact that they didn't cover in the first weekend........watch out. the undefeated king will be crowned.
final four semi final plays 1st h and game

Wisconsin will beat Kentucky out right.
I know Kentucky is chasing history... blah... blah... blah...
Kentucky hasn't played a team all year even close to as good and as smart and as poised at wisconsin. I know everyone who reads this will think I'm an idiot, but wisconsin is the better team. Gl.

Will take Kentucky 1st half. Badgers start slow against better teams. Bo ryan has pointed this out saying it takes his team a half to deal with the speed and athleticism of yhe other team. He said this is the smartest team he ever coached. They make the adjustments at half.
I agree wisky Beats them. Kentucky would have losses this year with wiskys schedule this season. Kentucky is a good team but they aren't as good as the reckrd
If Wisky plays like 2nd half tonight, they will beat anyone. Just don't see this happening again.
Dekker was unconscious and he's in reality, a decent white kid who at times can get hot. He's not a 27 point scorer on 11 FG attempts ever. The key would be Gaminski as he's normally very sharp and great with the ball and can find the open shooters. Problem is Cauley-Stein would likely guard him and a matchup nightmare IMHO.
Kentucky will be tough for Wisky regardless!

this is a repeat of the nd wsu game last Thursday. nd felt lucky to beat butler and advance. Kentucky feels lucky to advance . wisky played an unbelievable second h vs Arizona, scoring 55 pints in 20 effn minutes. that not the team that will show up Saturday. Kentucky will have a more focused approach to this game and will prove a point to all you doubters. I remember the bleating just last Thursday when west virginny scored 39 for the game. go ahead "ticket cashier " and play wisky next Saturday.you ll feel mighty dumb after the games over. that's what makes horse races. glad to see so much wisky support really. im truethfully considering flying to vegas to extend my limits on the game play.

Strongly disagree with you on Dekker. Followed him and JP Tokatoboth local high school kids. Both recruited by badgers if tokota was a badger no way would he start ahead Dekker. Bo Ryan's offense has actually slowed the growth of Dekker. Dekker is more suited to nba style and scoring is what he was projected to do outvof highv school. In this tournament you are seeing the real sam dekker. Just cause hes white many dont know or havent seen him like I have for years. I hope he stays another year but nba scouts know what hes about and he would definitely be a first round pick.
using four tournament games for the score thing it comes out to 74-64 with Kentucky laying six. that's based on three out of four of kentuckys games used in this formula coming in games where they played BELOW "expectations" ie did not cover the number. wiskys number come from at least two games where they played ABOVE expectations . The last half they played against Arizona was epic , 55 points in 20 freakin minutes is still fresh in everybodies mind, just like wsu's shockers after beating Kansas last week, every one wants that impressive team in the next game, when that's EXACTLY the game to stay off of 'em in. they r more than likely to follow that 55 point half w a poor shooting one. Kentucky had the shit scared out of them and they are focused on the next game right now with all nine or ten of those great players, each one promising the other that they will bring their best in this game and w all know what that means: suffocating D. Do you really think the wisky players are not getting partied up today, enjoying just an extra dab of the big Arizona win? I do! I see on the consensus site we all look at that 70% are on wisky. im willing to lay the six.
dekker is a great player. wisky is a great team. Im not saying that they couldn't beat or contend w Kentucky just like nd did in the right circumstance im saying that Kentucky will more likely play more towards the high end of what their best is, and if they do that they will cover. im saying it unlikely that the badgers will play as great as they did in that last h.vs Arizona in either h against Kentucky. its more likey to some how be a contrast from game to game. I see the number is skyrocketing down right and that a mere 80% on the consensus site we all look at likes ..........wisky!!. maybe u guys think wisky should be favored? maybe the weight of being undeafeated keeps Kentucky from being able to play freely and well offensively. im going to take the team that has played below expectations more often in this situation and the majority, but not all of the time, it will pay off. I love fans, really.
re did the numbers and I show Kentucky penciling out to 71 to 60 . that is if the teams play to form. I expect Kentucky to play like they did when they were focused: 1st game vs kansas, recently vs cinn. I feel wisky used up a LOT of bullets in the ariz game particularly in the second h scoring 55 in 20 minutes. I played Kentucky minus 2- 1st h, minus five for the game. played wiskys team total under 29 1sth and under 63 game. show duke winning like 56-46 played them minus 2- 1st h .do not trust the projected pace. if it is indeed that wretched in the first h will consider playing the second h low. made one small play on the minus 5 for the game but am paying the Kentucky game large for me.
re the duke total: of course it pencils out low, its based on both teams last four games all of which were under for duke and 2 were unders for msu. I wouldn't put it past both teams to decide to run to avoid the others half court d .I hope so! itll make for a lot more fun than 56-46 would b
thought izzo might spare us the foul thing 13 down, but nooooooooooooooo. what mickey mouse bullshit.come the fuck on.
it was litelly as small a play as ive made in the tourney on the second h under, but if I had played the game under for a substantial amount and lost it to a guy fouling down 15 id feel a bit cheated for sure.playing Kentucky under 131
Dekker a 1st rounder?
I really doubt that. I have been high on the Badgers all season long.
But I really doubt he makes any impact in the NBA.
I think he rides the bench and collects a paycheck. Nothing more.
I could be wrong but the NBA is loaded with guys that can shoot the ball.
