That being said, Kaminsky has beaten Okafor off the dribble all night.

[hack]

Exactly. He's more impressive than he looks, somehow.

Man it's hard to be unhappy with what we've got here with Beilein, and Wisconsin's defense isn't impressive tonight even with Duke shooting well, but, damn, Bo Ryan. I still believe in the importance of controlling the paint.

[The Oracle]

Yeah, more than one way to do it as we've gone round and round about.

Wisky is kind of playing like shit tonight and Duke isn't missing. Dekker has been invisible.

[hack]

Wow, Duke. Nice sequence.

More than one way to do it. No style points. But, still. Duke plays beautifully on offense and so do some others. Wicsonsin is there too. The difference is in the paint. We're a fully-realized McGary away.

[hack]

Dekker seems to have leveled off, overall. He floats.

[The Oracle]

If Duke gets this play from Sulaimon, it's over. WTF.

Edit: In general, not just tonight. Just about over as it is for tonight.

[hack]

Duke just couldn't miss. Didn't help that Wisconsin's D kinda sat back and let it happen. Not disruptive, but not dense enough to keep them out of the paint either.

Gessell is from Nebraska...should be a Husker dammit...

[The Oracle]

They didn't have a program when he committed.

Yale beat UConn... Wow... & it wasn't like UConn shot bad (.442).

Echoed.

No problemo

Also in case you haven't heard, the Big Ten tourney will be at Madison Square Garden in 2018, the year after appearing in DC. What's bizarre (possibly stupid) is that in order to do so, we are having the tourney a full week before the Selection Show. So everyone's going to have off 10-14 days between the end of the Big 10 tourney and the start of March Madness.

The Big 10, Big East, and ACC are all having their tourneys in NYC that year.

I hope I'm not still living on the East Coast by 2018 but that's not bad if I am.
