With the Final Four game coming up on Saturday, a few quick random thoughts here:
1. Obviously a lot of discussion has been had regarding the matchup of Dekker and Kaminsky vs. Willie/Marcus and Towns/Johnson, and for good reason, as those are key players in the game. In terms of actual points scored, let's say for discussion sake that they equalize one another. I tend to think that would be advantage UK if that occurs, but I could be wrong.
2. I think the game will come down to how well our guards and wing against the Wisconsin guards and wing. Who is best able at getting to the rim, who is best able to defend when who they are guarding gets to the rim, and who makes the 3's. Our guards and wing have to contest shots and not give up easy shots at the rim and conversely our guards and wing have to make outside shots and get to the rim and convert. I think at the end of the day, it may actually be that simple as what determines who wins the game.
