We all have our bias. It is kinda like the groups of people that like either the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. I am a Bobby Knight fan, rather than a coach K fan.
Im torn. Im a mild Duke fan as everyone in my wife's family loves them, but I dont want Wisconsin to lose. Man I really like the Wisconsin team.

Wisconsin by 7. Wisconsin has had a tougher road to this game and are a more experienced team. If I was a fan I'd be worried about them coming out sluggish. Wisconsin spent all year thinking about Kentucky and now that they accomplished the goal, Duke may catch them.
This game tonight means more to a Wisconsin fan than a Duke fan. Here is why. Duke will get back to the NC game. Probably sooner than later. They have won NC's before. They have a shot most years to win the NC. Wisconsin on the other hand hasn't been to the NC game since 1941. We probably won't get back any time soon. Sure they will have good teams. Plenty of sweet 16 and elite 8 appearances. But this is the NC game. They have had the toughest road to the NC game since the field expanded to 64 teams. They will have went through all the powerhouses (UNC, Arizona, Kentucky, and Duke). No team has beat two #1 seeds to win the NC. This is their only shot in the conceivable future. If it doesn’t happen tonight it may never. And that is why this game means more to a Badger fan than A Duke fan.
I just went back and looked and saw where Duke played 12, top 25 teams this year. That isn't an easy schedule by any stretch.
Exactly why I hope they win. I don't like either team really, but would make a cool story for Wisconsin to win it all knocking off Arizona, Kentucky, and Duke along the way.
Frank the tank baby!!!! I'll be pulling for Wisconsin tonight and Hayes. I used to go and watch Hayes at Whitmore when he was in HS. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
With Frank and Decker being defended by people that can match up on them I would think Hayes is going to need to have a good game. I'm not sure if the Badgers can rely on just Frank and Decker with these matchups.
I thought the same when they played Kentucky but both did great. I can see Dekker having another great performance.
Frank and Dekker have even better matchups this game than UK... Okafor doesn't even know what the word defense is. I imagine Wisconsin bigs scoring at will but Duke guards driving at will. I could see it coming down to who knocks down more open 3 balls.
Alot of driving the lane is not something a Bo Ryan team usually sturggles with. They typically hold their position and play good team D.
I like Wisconsin riding the momentum. They just seem destined to be the National Champs. They've taken down the giant already and going into this game sky high. A lot to be said for that in a game like this. Aside from the x's and o's, the psychological state of mind they're in is a good place to be. Not to mention the match up nightmares they bring and lack of mistakes. It will be a good one, but I think Wisconsin cuts down the nets. . . . . . plus I hate Duke
