1 Wisconsin vs 2 Arizona 6:09 pm tonight

1 UK vs 3 Notre Dame 8:49 pm tonight

4 Louisville vs 7 Michigan State 2:20 pm tomorrow

1 Duke vs 2 Gonzaga 5:05 pm tomorrow

all of them should be good games, AZ vs Wisc should be the best one of the 4 imo/maybe duke vs the zags... I hope ND beats UK and if not i hope all acc teams lose... I don't want 3 acc teams in the final four

@AdamZagoria: Tom Izzo on a No. 7 seed (UConn/MSU) potentially winning the NCAA: "Maybe we hope history repeats itself."

Frank is pretty good. Would take a center with half his production.

Arizona just doesn't have much on offense and they have no answers for Kaminsky and Dekker, Badgers are just the better team.

Zona might as well just drive on every possession, refs are calling every bump and handcheck

Kaminsky could have easily gotten in foul trouble earlier but he's so cognizant of the game situation. Brimah should watch tape of him in the offseason.

End of game strategy by Miller was Calipari-like. Coming back was likely improbable but I don't get not fouling right away when there was like 50 seconds left down 5.

By the way anyone saying Arizona has a better chance to beat Kentucky than Wisconsin isnt paying attention.

Arizona wouldn't score 50 on ky. They can't shoot. Wisconsin can as we saw. After what I just saw I think Wisconsin has more than a punchers chance against ky. They are really good.

You get the feeling that was the performance Wisconsin needed to have one game from now. I don't know if they'll be able to duplicate it.

I feel bad for Arizona. There isn't much that can be done about that sort of onslaught.

Wisconsin would have the better shot but Kentucky is not going to let them go as uncontested, and overall plays better D, but I'll root for them.

Yea not enough shooters or guys who can create in iso's, they would get swallowed up defensively against UK and wouldn't be allowed to live at the line like they did tonight.

Wisconsin has a high basketball IQ and discipline to match. You need to pick your spots against Kentucky and roll with the punches. Sometimes you need to surrender a possession and not take a foul.

If they call the game like they did tonight, Wisconsin will foul out by halftime. Kentucky is so physical that Wisconsin is going to have trouble not fouling them on just about every play. I hope the officials let them play. That's all assuming that Kentucky takes care of business against the Irish, which I think they will.

Loved the commentators saying what a great block Dakari Johnson made as the replay clearly shows he got no part of the ball and all hand. "On second look, he might've got some wrist there". Terrible.
