Also, Wisconsin's veteran roster will overcome Duke's 8 man rotation (4 of the 8 are freshman)
Like my shirt?
Id take Wisconsin
Although beating Kentucky has to feel a little bit like you just won a NC, have to put it behind you quickly and get ready for Duke in a short amount of time. I felt like that was a NC game. One advantage Duke definitely has right now, might be more focused.

I watched Duke handle Wisconsin pretty easy at Madison and I just don't think they can handle Duke for some reason. I'm looking for a little of a let down after beating Kentucky. I think they looked ahead to that game and it was like the NC game.
Duke shot 71% from the field in the 2nd half in that game in Madison. They shot 65% (30-46) for the game, including 58% (7-12) from 3. And they still only won by 10.
Here are the video highlights and box score from that game:

Duke will win because the powers that be will want vengeance for the denial of a Kentucky-Duke ratings monster Final.
Oh well.
Oh well.
A couple early predictions:
1) Charles Barkley has picked Duke to win.
2) Vegas has it as a toss up.
From CBSsports.com:
No. 1 Duke (PICK), O/U 141.5; 9:18 p.m. ET, CBS
Duke beat Wisconsin 80-70 in December, but that feels like years ago given what these two teams have done over the last month.
The Badgers just played nearly flawless offense (1.25 points per possession) against Kentucky's seemingly impenetrable defense and Duke has just gotten better and better as the tournament has progressed.
The Vegas "suggested score" is around 71-70 or 72-71, which seems right given the scoring efficiency of both teams.
We'll have expert picks posted soon, but for now feel free to check out our early preview of Monday night's title tilt.

I feel sorry for Duke...almost. And if you don't get why Iowa fans are cheering for a Big Ten team over an ACC team, you may need to buy a clue.
The Badgers are as gutty--and talented--as any team I can remember, and I've been watchin' a while. There have been more talented teams, but none with that combination of guts and ability. No way in Hades will Bucky lose on Monday night. And I'm one Iowa fan who will be thrilled to say the Big Ten holds the national championship banners in NCAA football and basketball. And I'll be more than pleased to point that out to the s-e-c, the a-c-c, and e-s-p-n. Frank and the boys are gonna bring it to that oaf okafor and his gang. Count on it.

I'm rooting for Wiscy but I think Duke will win the game. The badgers will give the dukies all they want.
Please, I need to buy a clue? If you are an Iowa fan, Wisconsin winning is no good. Get a clue. Go duke.
on that note, I am glad to see Kentucky go down.
Well I'm sure no Wisconsin fan but I'm a large big ten fan and hope the Badgers kick the crap out of coach K and ACC Duke.
I'm amazed anyone can pull for Duke at all. Cheaters and frauds all around incl. Krazooski. Duke does have good freshman but I see a 15-20 point blowout. Wiscy is better, they're deeper, they're tested, and they have he best coach in the country. Duke has reputation and a few good but not dominant freshman. Wiscy should handle them easily.
