Another Answer to a well posed thought

Brian is missing our favorite option that college professors used to try and trick us, the ol':

E - BOTH A & D (Which would be the correct choice)

I do not believe in Wisconsin at all. They are closer to the team that lost at Penn State and almost lost at Iowa. Lost in the hullabaloo over their win against OSU was the reality they needed to play a perfect 15 minutes to beat the Luckeyes. Can they shoot that well for that kind of stretch on a neutral court? They haven't with teams as talented or more talented. And those teams didn't give key minutes to non-entities like the red headed clown from Minnesota. Ultimately for them, it'll be based on matchups. If they play a team that can shoot or has plenty of size, they'll struggle. They could definitely make a run but I'll use history and history tells me away from Kohl against good teams, they struggle.

As for Marquette, unlike Wisconsin who CAN make a run riding stars like Taylor or Leuer, the Gold are way closer to not going or more likely, being a one and done. Marquette is a good team full of complimentary players who hasn't had a single player elevate his game to go-to guy. They have guys that could but none have. It's pretty evident by how they react in end-game situations or pressure spots. I don't see any evidence to suggest they can make any type of run.
