Sweet Sixteen Predictions Cont.

Thursday Late Game Addition

Butler vs Wisconsin
The darlings of the NCAA tournament are back looking for their second straight trip to the Elite Eight. In their way this time are the Mighty Communists of Madison, Wisconsin. Like Stalin through Georgia, Bo Ryan's Red Army will conquer and defeat the Bulldogs. Don't expect to see a pretty game, or even basketball for large chucks of minutes but a win is a win.
Wisconsin 57, Butler, 51

Duke vs Arizona
The one real question here is how does Duke contain Derrick Williams? The answer is they can't and probably won't. However, I see Williams getting his normal 20 points and 12 boards but the rest of the team being stymied by the Duke defense. I see a hot pace in this game as both teams will get up and down the court. Duke cruises out to a solid 6-8 point lead in the first ten minutes and outside of a few Wildcat runs lead the entire game. By the buzzer we're looking at a blowout. Irving looks better and piles up 15 points to go with 6 assists.
Duke 83, Arizona 67
