badgers and the over.
flowers will be able to "contain" curry, hopefully to under 30 points. depth will take care of the rest.

the inside game of Wisonsin with their ALL CORN FED big men will control this game downlow and minimize second chance opportunities for curry and his boys.... look for a huge rebound differential in this one that leads to a double digit win by wisconsin..... defense is the name of the game once you get to tourney time and particularly sweet 16 time.... all these teams offenses are clicking at a very high level and its the ability to play defense and force your opponent to swtich their style of offense that wins games and championships.......

You give bo ryan a week to prepare for a team that relies on 1 player for victory, you are in trouble.  Wisconsin by DD, they wont lose a lead like g-town did

BECAUSE KANSAS IS MUCH BETTER THAN WISCONSIN.

REGARDLESS, I'M BACKING THE BADGERS.  THEIR DEFENSE IS STROND ENOUGH TO SHUT DOWN CURRY.  THE GAME WILL STAY CLOSE, BUT WISCONSIN COVERS THE 4.5 IN THE END.

I don't know, Georgetown game was plagued with some ghost fouls on Hibbert (he had 3 offensive fouls?!?!).  I think Wisconsin gets it done by more than 4.5... looks like most everyone is on board with that.  I think the Badgers bottle up Curry and will have a better game plan to contain him.

Hey gang, I got some vital news to share with the thread.  Did you know that this game is going to played full-field style at Ford Field.  Right in the middle of the footlball field, no half moon or curtain setup.  This is going to be a raised court too.  That spells trouble for Davidson's outside shooters.  I have to go with the inside shooting team of Wisky here.  Good Defense will dominate on this raised court.  This is a similiar to Vandy's homecourt advantage.  Everyone gets screwed up on the raised court.  I had a guy tell me one time it's like "playing in the clouds" at first.  The ball seems lighter.
 
Wisky ML....big!!!

Wisconsin ML is the only play here.  Not a bad value at -220.  -5 seems a little fishy to me, should be closer to 8 with an opponent like Davidson.  Maybe it is because of Curry having a hot hand.  Will Curry get 30+?  Not against this Wisconsin D, but he will be a factor and will get some looks.  He is scrappy, is a great shooter from just about anywhere, and controls the game like MSU's Drew Neitzel.  I DO think this game will be close though, definitely not a blowout like everyone thinks.  Georgetown has argueably a better D than Wisconsin and where are they now?  Wisconsin only avgs 67 pts/game and relies on their D to win games.  This game looks to me like the Wisconsin/MSU game a couple of weeks ago where Whisky won 65-63 (Neitzel scoring 26).  Vegas wins this one (17%) and Wisconsin pulls off the win to face Kansas in the Elite 8.
Wisconsin ML (-220)
Davidson-61
Wisonsin-65

Adistar I agree with you except about the Defenses.  Wisconsin has a much better defense and they actually have players with heart.  Hibbert and Ewing Jr play like over-paid NBA stars and take plays off.  Wisconsin has the best D in the NCAA and should control Curry tonight.  GL man

Taking the Badgers here.  Better team that actually plays tough D.  Curry will not get the open looks he got earlier in the tourney.  Badgers ML parlayed with Mich St ML.  Also the spread.  Wisc -5.5\

Davidson has burned me twice already this year so Im seeking some revenge on their asses tonight...They have won both games in simular fashion with that being trailing at the half and surging in the second half...I dont see this game being any different...WIS (-2.5) AT THE HALF...

EXCELLENT POINT KONG --  TOOK THE UNDER ON BOTH GAMES BEING PLAYED THERE TONIGHT AND PARLAYED THEM, THIS COURT IS GOING TO REALLY SCREW THEM UP.  WISKY'S INSIDE GAME IS GOING TO LEAD THEM TO A 12 POINT VICTORY, OUTSIDE GAMES ARE PROB. GOING TO BE HURTIN' THIS EVENING.  BIG PLAYS ON THE UNDERS

There is enough positive trends for me to take the Wildcats and the points. 1. they can flat out score points. 2. they shoot free throws better than the badgers. 3 they have a deeper bench. Yes the Badgers might have enough to win but I'm taking the cats and the 4.5 points

Wisconsin - 67                      Davidson - 64

Wildcats                     over 126

Am looking for some way Davidson can keep it going, and maybe the Board of Trustees dipping in their pockets to send as many students as want to go to the game......might be somewhat inspirational.....
 
Go, Davidson.......This might just have been meant to be.......

I think Davidson keeps it close enough to cover.But ill wait until the line goes up,  too much of the public is on Wisc which usually means an upset.  GL

from this morning
 
Davidson vs. Wisconsin -4.5 (1 unit) - man I hate taking the Badgers here but I think they have a tough enough defense that can frustrate Stephen Curry.  That factor and also that they've had nearly a week to prepare for him.  I see Wisconsin jumping out early and then Davidson never quite being able to close the gap.
