So far Duke up 6. Wisconsin probably lucky to be down only 6- they aren't playing all that well IMO..

Even at The Half. As I said before, Duke needs to worry about getting into foul trouble due to how few players they have. Wisconsin definitely felt the same way as their gameplay seems to be focused on drawing fouls.

I am extremely impressed with the mental determination of Duke though. Those boys have some seriously determined confidence going on. I fully credit Coach K for that.

Wisconsin is very well coached

really don't feel like either team is playing all that well. Really especially Wisconsin- they're only shooting 38.7% from the field and only 3-7 from the line. For Duke- 50% from the field and 4-4 from the line. Wisconsin hanging around with rebounding again- When Wisconsin misses, they've gotten 8 of the 20 rebounds. When Duke misses, they've only gotten 2 of the 13 rebounds.

The guy who I think long term we are going to absolutely despise is that Grayson Allen for Duke. He is going to be an absolute super star.

I couldn't possibly agree more with you on this Stever. Watch that kid in the few plays that he gets in for. Just imagine what he would be like as a starting guard. He can dish too. That guy with that incredible slashing talent could easily become an assist machine.

He is definitely the star of the future to keep an eye on.

My thoughts too. He will be hated like JJ Redick.

Coach K wins the award for getting his guys ready for the Tip Off. Coach Ryan gets the award for getting it done at halftime. He turned around what was going on mentally with Wisconsin in that first half.

Still very EARLY in the 2nd half but I like the way Wisconsin is playing. The Big 10 might get their 2nd national championship of the 2014-2015 season.

They are doing exactly what they need to be doing. They are taking full advantage of the disadvantage Duke finds themselves in with just 8 players.

As I also said, Ryan was a magician at the half.

There's Allen...

Grayson Allen. Damn. Fun to watch that kid play.

Allen is totally keeping Duke in this game....

Go Badgers!!!

This next basketball season, I will be placing a strong bet before the season ever begins on Duke winning The College Basketball National Championship.

Naismith winner for next year? Grayson Allen. He is like a leashed pitbull.

technically the 6th team championship of the 2014-15 school year

Ohio State - Football
Michigan State - Women's Cross Country
Penn State - Women's Volleyball
Iowa/Ohio State - Wrestling (Co-Champions)

Coach K really made a mistake putting Okafur back in there I think...

Just a thought on Allen. He keeps playing like this tonight- there's a chance he could be in the NBA.... next year.

That one NBA scout who told me in January that Grayson Allen is a lottery pick is in the back of my head right now.
8m

These refs are horrible. Must be the same ones who worked the Kentucky-Wisconsin game. Bad calls on both ends-about 3 times in a row.

Agree. I know he's the star player, but if it ain't broke...
