If Dekker has a normal game Wisconsin probably wins. He just didn't have it from 3.
Tyrus Jones stock.....up.....up....and .....away!
Glad a have a team to be proud of......Duke and St.Johns are my college teams. I picked Duke to win it all in the ESPN bracket challenge.
YES SIR

If 19 year old Shaq is wearing the Duke white, is he in the game right now?
i was born in 1994 i don't remember
I will answet for you....no he would not be. He was a worse freethrow shooter than Ok4 and couldnt guard out on the perimeter.
Towns is a 85% FT shooter
yeah but at least Ok4 can shoot the ball from range

You know what Okafor's future is based on tonight? Have you watched him much?

it hurt wisconsin that they lost gasser early to an eye injury. jackson hurt their team.

He's watched him and Towns all year just like a lot of us have. You might've been too busy watching Westchester

yes. I watched pretty much every game of his and I have watched many of the a few times.
I think that I can make a safe prediction that he ain't gonna be no tim duncan.
What say you?

We haven't seen the best of OK4 yet. People need to keep things in perspective. He's a 19 year old freshman.

I think the problem is he is being sold as the next Tim Duncan. Not only by people here but the media as well. Heck I still heard people saying it as of earlier today!

No doubt Okafor is pick #2-4. He's just touching his potential. He's not a 5 hes a 4 and once he gets his conditioning down pact as his body matures some--adds some additional explosion--some depth on his J--he'll be good to go. His stigma however is broken a tad. There could be scenarios where you may see a team love him or nOT. Thats when you may get trade up and trade down. Right now only pick #1 is truly locked--I think?
On another note--these kids are all FRESHMEN--really when have you seen freshmen guards play like this? Tyus Jones didnt make his way to a mid round pick--hes been great all year. Evene Greyson Allen--sint there a team out there who would give pick 24 for him? He couldve been a 1 coming out of HS. A lot of this is projection because NONE of these kids are at full boat. Tyus Jones--is he the next Chris Paul if he stays one more year?
Look at what the Knicks miss out on lets see Zach Lavine with another year in--where does he go in this draft--Id say #1? Or Noah Vonleh etc... they need to find a way to keep these kids in school until their 20.

okay so now we're comparing okafor to shaquille fricking o'neal. let me ask you this-- would shaq play less than 24 minutes in a 40 minute game? and would it be a close game?
Shaq only averaged 13 points a game as a freshmen and his team was 23-9.
This is why defense win Championships..Wisconsin up 9 with OK4 and Winslow in the bench..They didn't have the personnel to lock Duke's guards down..All tournament, the game plan was pushing the pace and getting into the lane against Wisconsin..Their guards can't stop penetration and the pick and roll, their bigs can't protect the rim..

Dekker was awful from the opening tip. I didnt see anything that I havent seen before--hes WAY over rated. He has no established game--what is he?

so shaq had greater floor impact i guess.
Dukes FT actually saved them. It let the guards take control for ahwile and they attacked with speed athleticism and power and Wis had no answer. Wisconsin was then dead in the water tired.
One bad play by Wis--why did they foul down 3 with 42 seconds left?

Adam Morrison but worse. At least Adam was great in college
Certainly not Van Horn who was great in college and solid in the pros

If he was in foul trouble absolutely. Okafor usually plays a little over 30 minutes a game.

wisconsin lost gasser which really hurt them. jackson was overmatched out there as gasser's replacement. then there were two bad foul calls the refs gifted duke.

he played 22 minutes tonight but it wasn't because of foul trouble.
