I wouldn't count on too many secondary breaks . . . Wisconsin makes getting back a point of emphasis, to the point that they often concede rebounds to the defenders.

SU hasn't been getting a lot of transition points in the latter part of the season - I posted this [URL='http://syracusefan.com/threads/espns-ranking-the-sweet-16-article.22659/#post-238688']earlier today[/URL] but I will cut&paste the key bit here:

In the first 20 games, SU generated 18.4 opponent turnovers per game; in the last 15 it is down to 12.7
 
That being said, the total number is not important in what is likely to be a slow pace, limited possession game.  Being plus 7 points off turnovers in a game like this is like being plus 15 in a game against most other opponents. 
 
JB has the press and his various traps in his back pocket.  I would not expect him to use them relentlessly, but to break them out opportunistically  . . . . lull the Badgers into occasional lapses of complacency then break out a quick change to generate a turnover.  Three or four times a game would be enough.  It won't be the volume, but the effectiveness of taking advantage of the opportunities.
