I really don't want that matchup. Dekker is playing out of his mind, but WCS needs to defend Frank & Hayes. Both are stretch bigs, which KAT + Dakari struggle defending. KAT chances of getting a foul will increase the more time he spends defending Frank down low.


Just let Lyles defend Dekker and hope he reverts back to his season averages. If he gets hot early…then i guess we can assign WCS to him.

I'm afraid Dekker will kill Lyles. Just a terrible matchup for Trey.

Well, Wisconsin is still playing with a shell-shocked Traevon Jackson, so there's that.

Yeah, Trey lacks the quicks, but i just don't want KAT assigned to Frank because i feel its a lock he will pick up cheap fouls right away.

I'd rather take the chance of Dekker coming back down to earth.

The one dude I think they need to stick is Kate fagan. He wears number 24 and would be a perfect fit at Duke. I think stein will be guarding the 3 point line like white on rice. I think dakari and lyles will play a factor on d as well especially if they try to go inside with decker or kamisky. Not Jackson but the other black dude on their team that wears number 10 is very good as well. My hope is that we come in feeling like David and not golliath due to the payback factor. I can see decker and or kamisky getting a little to overzealous and picking up fouls very quickly because they want their revenge. To top off this game I'm sure they will show aaron Rodgers every 30 seconds. He will probably give them a big pep talk like he's bear Bryant.

We are the better and more athletic team we just gotta play like we do. Feed towns all day long inside as long as the refs swallow their whistles. The twins and booker will handle the rest. Cal says it all the time, attack attack attack! If Andrew does that like he has in our blowouts we win this game. He has to have his confidence right away, since he is the one guy on this team that will lead us to number 9 it's on him to lead. End of story

If Willie is on Dekker, he will get picked high all night long. Then who takes Dekker? He's 6'9" and a deadly shooter.
Willie is quick but Dekker is quicker. Help underneath frees Kaminsky.

Lee will most likely get a chance whenever the second platoon subs in, but he'll have to maximize on that opportunity to stay in the game. He was good off the bench last year.

Hawkins was actually good off the bench, too. We have better guard depth now, so Hawkins may not hear his name called this time around.

What about one of the Twins? I know they are giving up 2-3 inches, but their speed would overcome that.
