Illinois vs Wisconsin matchup

On paper, we have the more talented team or at the least just as much talent. Wiscy is not about individual talent, though. The sum is so much better than the roster indicates. Wiscy is about controlling tempo, running a boring but effective flex offensive system that generates open shots that its players are drilled to make, defending in a way that makes teams take open shots generally just inside the 3-point arc (lower-percentage shots that even if made give you just 2 points), getting back quickly on D and boxing out like nobody's business.

Wiscy's style will drive DJ and especially BP crazy. I don't see them being factors at all Tuesday night. With Leuer out, Wiscy also plays basically 3 small guards, a SF and a center who likes to shoot 3s, so Tisdale will not match up well on the defensive end. He'll have to guard Nankivil, who is a good 3-point shooter. Tis will have a hard time keeping Nankivil from getting treys all game.
