On the Stove Top

Capital Times columnist Mike Lucas is trying to dampen my spirits by saying UW minus Tucker and Taylor is hopeless against the Dukies. Hah! So what if Wisconsin loses its greatest senior tandem of all-time? Duke had its best player declare for the draft as a sophomore ... and he sucks. Sure, Duke brings in another stellar recruiting class, but what have you done for me lately Coach K? You've brought in McD's All-Americans by the boatload, but haven't had much to show for it lately.

I'm going to have to break this match-up down position-by-position in the near future, but I have no reason to believe the Badgers don't have a good shot at winning this game. Duke's best player will be a sophomore (Jon Scheyer) and I still think Wisconsin has the edge in overall experience. Butch, Landry, Flowers, Krabby ... if anyone can handle Cameron Indoor Stadium, it's that group.
