CBS "expert" picks
- Thread starter UKErik
- Start date
Really surprised to see everyone in that group picking us.
Hopefully Digger will still pick against us.

Yeah, I thought 3/5 picked Wisconsin as well. When you pull up the page it is automatically set on against the spread and I had no idea there were two different options to see.
Against the spread. They pick us so win....but by less than 5.5

Seems like everyone wants a Duke-UK Championship game. It would be great for college basketball.
Of course, Duke needed some help with their EZ-bake of a bracket. And the committee delivered.

I agree with UKErik. The principal reason that Wisconsin beat Arizona was that they shot 55.6% from the field and 66.7% from the 3-point line ... and if they shoot those percentages again this Saturday they'll probably beat the 'Cats.
Of course, IMHO the probability of the 'Cats allowing Wisconsin to shoot those percentages approaches zero ! ! !
Wisconsin also rebounded within 1 (21-22) of Arizona. If the 'Cats come to play on Saturday, we'll out-rebound Wisconsin by 10 or more.
Just MHO, of course.

Was kind of unexpected to see Wisconsin go 12/18 from three. Even with that otherwordly shooting performance they still barely won.
I wonder if this is the anti-WVU approach. Everyone was picking WVU to beat us and then saw how that turned out. Everyone picked us against ND (even though I think most of us knew it would be a tough game) and it ended up close. Maybe they think that they can help in beating us if they pick for us.
Wisconsin will be a BATTLE. I am more nervous about them than any other team.
However, Wisconsin is not shooting 55+ percent in a cavernous Lucas Oil Stadium. Not happening. If they want to win, they will have to do what Notre Dame did and pick and roll us to death, beating us on the interior.

I picked Kentucky, Wisconsin, Duke, and Virginia to reach the FF. I am shocked Michigan State made it, but that bracket really opened up for Izzo. I picked Kentucky and Duke in the championship game, with Kentucky winning #9. Still think so.
That potential Duke-UK matchup was the only reason we went ahead and bought all sessions instead of buying just the semis and buy from the losing team of the first game.
Gottleib just picked Wisconsin on his show on channel CBS-SN ,said it would be a Duke-Wisconsin Final while talking to Dallas Cowboy's quarterback Tony Romo
This ^^^
The likelihood that they shoot that well 2 games in a row is probably slim. Not only will they be facing the best defensive team in the country but playing in a dome typically means lower shooting percentages. Also, Wisconsin is terrible on offensive and defensive rebounding considering their size. I think they rank in the 204th in offensive rebounds and 124th in defensive rebounds. If we offensive rebound like we are capable of there is the possibility to get some easy put backs.
