At a minimum he would have been suspended and ordered to attend liberal cultural-marxism classes, I mean sensitivity training, and Wisconsin would get NCAA sanctions and the faculty would call for the banning of men's sports there.

Even if Kaminsky had, "said fuck that motherfucker," there would be a huge outrage guaranteed.

Winslow and Oakfor need to get K in foul trouble. I also think Winslow has the ability to contain Dekker.

Looking forward to it.
I think the only bad matchup woulda been if MSU had beaten Duke. I just thought sooner or later they were going to just not be able to compete.

Will see what Coach K will have in store for wisky tonite. Game planning will only go so far and then the talent takes over. You can bet they will go after K and see if they can get him into foul trouble. Dekker has been playing out of his mind in the tourney. If he can keep it up...they have a chance.

That's seemed to be the biggest "easier said than done" thing in the tournament. Everyone knows Wisconsin doesn't have much depth, so a key is to get their key guys in trouble since that'll cripple them. Except it never seems to really happen.

No doubt about that. Easier said than done, but then again....Duke has Okafor who may be able to do it.

I just like watching Wisc play on offense. They move the ball around so well. I think their experience together, last year and this, has really made this team special. One cannot overstimate how much playing together for a long time can do for a squad. Sorta like how those European teams were putting it to the US for awhile in international competition.

but I digress.

Looking forward to tonite...and hope they do a good job with "one shining moment...."

I HIGHLY doubt Wisconsin gets into foul trouble. They simply don't foul...literally. They will back up and give layups before they foul.

Yeah. I didnt get to watch the game closely saturday night as I was an event, but the talking heads on sunday seemed to say UK started to do that but didnt go to it way enough and they coulda gotten a lot more points if they had.

When you get a charge called every other time you try it puts a stop to it real quick.

This. Wisky plays gap defense. They don't over pressure, but are up enough not to give up wide open looks, but off enough to give great help and be in great position. And they play smart enough not to get into foul trouble. They have always played this way since Bo took over.

My only concern about Wisconsin tonite, is did they go all out vs UK and be mentally ready tonite. I don't think so because of their experience, but that's is my worry if I were a Wisconsin fan. If not, should be a great game and I am going with the Badgers in a close game.

I am not worried about that. It wasnt like the game went into OT or even multiple OT's. Plus..it is the NC game. During the regular season? Yeah.....they very well could come out flat, but in the NC, against Duke......I dont think that happens.

The outside shooting of Frank and Nigel Hayes will be the difference, IMO.

Duke is locking down the perimeter and Wisconsin can't score with them.

The Dukie flop by Winslow. One and done, but he stayed long enough to learn that.

If Duke doesn't win this will be the least I've been bothered about it. This Wisconsin team has that destiny feel to it. I have nothing against Wisconsin their fans players or coaches....,couldn't say that in the past with Arkansas and UConn

Their fans around our section were assholes. Flipped us off the whole way out of the stadium. Even had a go fuck your cousins chant. At least 5 cars full of Wisconsin fans rolled their windows down on the drive home to flip us off. That being said, I hope Wisconsin wins by 20. I have nothing against the players.
