I want to see Okafor v Towns inside.

I think it would be an epic title fight. The best that college basketball could have occur this year.
 
Wisky has a better chance of beating UK. UK is going to win it all. They would beat Duke by 10-15 points.
 
But it would really be Okafor vs. Towns, Cauley-Stein, Lyles, Marquise Lee, and Dakari Johnson.

I suspect you're going to get your matchup-but given my druthers, I'll take Michigan State vs Wisky and MSU winning it all.

Tonight it was Zack Auguste against Towns, C-S, Lee, and Johnson. And Auguste had 20 points and 9 rebounds and matched Towns almost basket for basket.

And Okafor is twice the player that Auguste is.


And to Piranha.... if you think KY beats Duke by 15... I'll take Duke and the points. Give me Duke and 15 if that matchup occurs for $100? Please?

Better chance than ND? Since tonights game was won by 2, Wisky wins -2 or you're wrong.

He's pretty clearly saying better chance than Duke. But since ND has a 0 percent chance of beating Kentucky in this tournament, that is also true.
 
Okafor is a much more talented player than Auguste-but, ironically, I think he'll be easier for UK to defend. Auguste did a lot of his damage on follow ups, offensive rebounds, cleanup kind of stuff. ND spread the floor and attacked the basket on dribble drives from the wings amd the top. UK bigs got pulled off the blocks and Auguste snuck in behind them a bunch of times amd worked the weak side on misses. Okafor will play with his back to the basket and UK can defend him conventionally amd not have to worry about foul trouble with all that frontcourt depth.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out, which one of us is more accurate.

Then again, I hope that matchup never happens.

Sparty On!
 
I think Wisconsin will beat Kentucky. Mentally tougher.

OK, maybe I misunderstood. The beauty is - we shall see.

Wisconsin is mentally tougher and a veteran squad.

But, I think they wore out their 3-pt shooting mojo and the Gunner's Hidden Vigorish will strike and they lose, maybe by doubke figures.

Hope I'm wrong.
