    Should be one of the top games of the season. Duke has the edge in NBA talent with Okafor and Winslow, but Wisconsin has the experience brining back Kaminsky, Josh Gasser, Traevon Jackson, Sam Dekker and Bronson Koenig who reached the final four last year. Duke has all the glitz and glamour and all-americans and Wisconsin has the tough-hard nosed defense with Bo Ryan. Duke hasn’t really played an elite team this year. Michigan State is decent but down and Stanford is solid. We all know Coach K likes to avoid true non-conference road games and play at neutral sites, but this one will be played in Madison. The match-up of Kaminsky and Okafor is going to be great. Kaminsky will try to take Okafor out to the three point line and will have a big advantage because Okafor is not a great defender. Okafor in turn will try to punish Kaminsky on the block. I think Wisconsin playing at home gives them a massive advantage and they take this in a close one.

     Nigel Hayes is a huge X-Factor for Wisconsin in this game. He’s much improved and a physical guy who will be willing to go toe-to-toe with any of the Duke bigs. Should be fun to watch!

    I really feel Duke’s front court of Elton Brand, Carlos Boozer, and Sheldon Williams will outrebound the Badgers.  But watch out for the strong guard play of Alando Tucker and Devin Harris on Conscin

     It will be interesting to see how all the Freshmen play tonight for Duke. Relying on Freshmen can be tricky in hostile environments if things dont go smoothly right away. 

    Wiscy might be better right now, but in the long run, I have to think Duke could end up better. Games in Madison and they don’t lose at home so going with the Badgers. 

    Everybody go ahead and talk about the Kaminski-Okafor matchup…I bet they don’t even guard each other. I’ll sit back and enjoy the Winslow-Dekker battle. Love Dekkers game and think he’s their best player. Winslow is the MKG to Okafor’s Brow if Duke is going to make major noise in the tourney.
