2015 NCAA Tournament thread

Dekker and Kaminsky have been INSANE!

 

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 2m2 minutes ago
Wisconsin averaged 1.33 points per possession, Arizona's worst defensive efficiency in the last four seasons.

 

Dekker's shot at the end was the symbol of the game -- if a team is shooting like that there is nothing you can do.

 

Dekker: 20 points, 5-for-5 from 3 in the second half.

 

Absolutely. Zona played well. Badgers just got insanely hot from 3. If Badgers are average from 3, Wildcats win that game.

 

No shame for Arizona.

Wisconsin went Villanova '85 in the second half. I love Dekker.

 

The last five minutes of that game was some of the dumbest high-level college basketball I've ever seen.

Wisconsin with dumb foul after dumb foul, not even while Arizona was shooting. I don't have it in front of me but Arizona scored on 8 or 9 straight possessions, most from the line.

Then Arizona with fouls LATE in the shot clock or with :50 left, deciding to let Wisconsin play it all down.

How do players who, presumably, have been in these kinds of games going back to AAU, have this lack of clock/game management awareness?

 

Dekker was great. Gotta give some credit to Kaminsky, too - D had to bend towards him to hope to stop him. Helped set up outside shooting.

 

Mike Brey shouldn't have allowed that alley-oop. What an idiot.

 

Apparently, the Badgers shot 79% in the second half. That's just....insane. Not sure they do that against the scout team.

 

That 2nd half -- and last shot -- was some Laettner-esque stuff from Dekker.

 

So, if "your" team is out of the tourney...are you rooting for Kentucky? I am, which sucks...but let's see WWW and Cal win it all and serve notice that things need to change if NCAA basketball is going to mean anything.
