I'm seeing a UW - U of A title fight.
I did not see Baylor Creighton, but man did Baylor take them out to the wood shed. Quite an athletic team.
I did see Baylor a couple years back and that team was extremely athletic. They also played as dumb as rocks - seriously.
I don't know about this team, but my guess is Wisconsin is superior execution-wise.
I think Kaminsky and Dekker need to be extremely physical on the interior. I am dramatizing a bit, but kind of like, "That guy over there is Deacon Jones. You are Anthony Munoz. Beat his ass."
Baylor's superior athleticism will prevail, sorry to say.

glad to see you haven't changed your position that you can judge athleticism via box scores.
I'm pressed with Baylor's play, was not impressed with them at games end. Bunch of uncontrolled hot dogs. Will be sweet when Bucky shuts them up.

Mis-type.
I did not see the entire game, only portions.
Is there such a thing as an "educated" team from the state of Texas?
I agree with MC. This is not a good matchup for Wisconsin. Baylor has a lot of size in the frontcourt and they are not plodders. It's critical that Kaminisky not get into foul trouble and they are going to need Nigel Hayes to step up in this game.
I wasn't surprised Baylor beat Creighton but I was surprised how they dominated that team. This is a tough test for sure but at this point they are all tough tests if you want to advance.

Rice.
That's what I would have said, Hungry5.
One of two college teams whose nickname is the Owls.
There are several more teams named the Owls. I know Florida Atlantic is just one other that uses that nickname.
A quick search on the Google machine reveals the following schools:
Lots of buzz out here regarding tickets for the game in Anaheim. Unfortunately, San Diego State and Arizona are playing there after the Bucky game, and the proximity of those two schools will increase demand for tickets.
Either way, it won't sound like Milwaukee did on Thursday, but there will be a strong group of Badger fans in OC.
I haven't seen most of those teams, but in general Owls are very athletic.
They are very flexible in the neck area which is good for no-look passes.
Gives a whole new meaning to "keep your head on a pivot".

I only knew Temple and Rice.
Even though my daughter went to Keene State!

Read this on SI: Wisconsin has a nearly indefensible offense that might just now be hitting its stride.The Badgers shot 49.1 percent and hit 21 three-pointers across the two games at the Bradley Center while scoring 1.29 points per possession against American and then 1.31 PPP against Oregon â their most efficient offensive showings since early January. They werenât bad in the Big Ten tournament, either, with 1.28 PPP against Minnesota and 1.21 against Michigan State. The season average: 1.16.
This is what the Badgers need to keep doing, score score score some more.
Can Gasser and Brust hit open shots against the zone will be the big question.
I'm getting stoked for this game.
From that article:
Wisconsin is similarly impressed by Baylor's athleticism and offensive balance.
Apparently, Wisconsin haven't watch tape on Baylor?
you don't have to watch tape to evaluate (or comment on) athleticism.
Man, this has been a clinic so far.
I think if UW is patient enough to often have at least one pass to the inside (generally Kaminsky) on their half court offense, they ought to have this game in the bag.
Interesting that while this Baylor zone is supposed to limit inside offense, Wisconsin seems to be having a harder time getting outside looks than inside ones.
Wow, a clinic in how to beat the zone. Man, Baylor is one slow moving team. They make Dick Bennett's teams look like sprinters.
BTW, this would be a super blow out of Gasser would make just a couple of shots. He has been off.
Baylor's superior athleticism will prevail, sorry to say.
Dekker better work the whole off-season going to his left on the drive or he will never sniff the NBA, they'll eat him up. jmo.
ticky tack foul calls
