I'm interested to see how Wisconsin plays against teams like Kentucky and Duke. Those two are so much more athletic.

Kentucky beat Wisconsin last year and this year's Kentucky team appears light years better than that team. Can Wisconsin's methodical, cerebral approach to the game keep up?

Each opponent Wisconsin goes up against is "more athletic," or so it seems. Despite this, Bo Ryan is 328-121 (.731) at a school that was not particularly known for basketball (though they did reach a Final Four the season before he became head coach) until he arrived.

Not trying to bag on you, but it has become a pretty lazy argument against Wisconsin. This is just a very good program with a nice blend of talent and experience this season.

I think it also needs to be noted that Wisconsin is 195-21 (.903) at home under Ryan. The Kohl Center has become a very difficult place to come and win.
