Wisconsin doesn't have a Fetus Ezeli. When you think of Ezeli you think of Gates on Cincy, or Cooley on ND, or Drummond on UConn. With Fab Melo we have a body who could bang with Ezeli without Melo we don't have a body to bang with Ezeli. When we played Cincy in the BET semis Fab Melo sat for 3 minutes in the first half Gates ate Christmas up 3 possessions in a row and JB immediately subbed Melo in and Gates was shutdown the rest of the first half.  Vandy also has three 3 pt shooters who shot 38% including 2 over 40% Tinsley, Jenkins, as well as Goulborne who can shoot. Also, it is likely Vandy would have zoned us and we aren't good against zones.
When you look at Wisconsin first off they aren't as athletic, second they will play man to man defense. Its a Bo Ryan specialty. Third, Wisconsin's bigs are more pick and pop types. While they can shoot they aren't dominant post players thus if bigs are shooting jump shots there are less guys to crash the boards. Wisconsin doesn't attack the offensive glass they get back on defense to prevent transition. So, while we may not get transition points we should do fine on the defensive glass. Fourth, Wisconsin shot 33 3's pointers against Vandy. 33 3pt FGA. Only making 10 of 33 with only 8 offensive rebounds. Wisconsin's center shot 6 3pt attempts. So while Wisconsin will force tempo against us they are a better matchup for us. SU grinds out a 64-58 game against Wisky.
