- Because Jim Boeheim is 4-11 in the Sweet 16 and has never beaten a Big Ten team in the NCAAs and 5 of our last six NCCA tournaments have ended in losses to lower seeds. It's about time for all of them to go away and this team has made the the "impossible" nothing all year.

- Because we should have beaten Butler and now we're goona do it.

- Beacuse they think they've seen a zone but they've never seen our zone.

- Because we will play our zone agressively, blanketing the three point shooters from the beginning and never let up. They can't burn us inside and Boeheim will put Triche on Taylor and he'll prevent Jordan from rolling. It may be hard for us to score against them but it will be impossible for them to score against us.

- Because the half-court trap has been a key to those turnovers we depend on and there will be more chances for it against a team that keeps the ball on the perimeter than we have been seeing.

- Because we learend vs. K-State to uses passes to set up our drives. And once we get that first step, they are going to look exactly like K-State.

- We will have a 10, maybe 15-0 run and they will never recover.

- Because we can win their type of game but they can't win our type of game.

- Because they are not a strong offensive reboudning team- they like to send their guards and wing-men out to prevent the fast break rather than hit the boards. JB will will see this and order our guys to hit the boards instead of "leaking out". We will have the edge on the boards in this game, not the other guys.

- Because CJ Fair will break out of his slump and then everyone will be playing well.

- Because we are 33-2, ranked #2 and a #1 seed. They are 26-9, ranked #13/#14 and a #4 seed. We are better than they are.

- Because they are the Badgers, not the Grizzly Bears
 
i like this one better but it made me more nervous
 
Much better and a tad bit more compelling as well. Thank you for doing the reasons we will win after the reasons we will lose. Impossible is nothing!
 
Good post, SWC. Maybe this is a team of destiny. I doubt the badgers could put up as good an argument for such. Go 'Cuse!!!
 
I wonder how many teams force the wisc D to cover the 3rd-4th guards and the 2nd-3rd forwards as much as ours will. lots of teams have a drivinf guard and a shooting guard we have 4 who really want to do both on the nights they are playing well. lets hope we find two tonight
 
I got this in a couple of minutes before Road Runner went down for 2 hours. I could have had just "Why Wisconsin Will Win" on the board for two hours and you guys would have lynched me. :bat::bang:couchburn
