My buddy who happens to be an Iowa fan ridiculed my pick of Wisconsin. Says they always choke early in the tournament. While he's not wrong, I couldn't help but feeling extreme vitriol and contempt for his judgement.
They definitely don't defend. I also heard some stat that they are something like 1-5 now all time as a 5 seed, which means they've obviously lost to a 12 seed 4 of those times. Not great!
No. They are 1-5 against #12 in the first round as a #5. The year they won against a #12 in the first round as a #5, they lost to Kentucky in the Sweet 16. So, they are 2-6 overall as a #5.
I think Kentucky would be harder. I think Santa Clara would have to play at a higher level than Kentucky would to beat us. I saw St. Mary's get man handled by A&M yesterday. As a fan, hate saying this, but I think we want Santa Clara to shoot lights out today and beat Kentucky.
According to historical data. #2 has 70.7% win rate against #7 and a 64.9% win rate against #10. So, SC, I guess.
Kentucky by a lot, still not tough with how bad of a “team” they are but they do have talent
Does that mean he can't do the game on Sunday? Is there a rule about not doing back to back games for a team?
The fact he is in St Louis at all worries me a bit for the next round...
