Duke vs. Wisconsin 2015: Time, TV schedule, radio and streaming
Undefeated Kentucky got taken down by Wisconsin, so how do the Blue Devils match up against one of the best offenses in America and vice versa?
Duke made easy work of Michigan State between strong performances from Quinn Cook, Justise Winslow and Jahlil Okafor. The Blue Devils' balanced attack has been making their games look easy -- the three combined for 54 of Duke's 81 points, something that they've proven can be a consistent thing on a regular basis.
In the second game of the night -- the most anticipated one -- Kentucky and Wisconsin squared off in a rematch of last season's Final Four game. In an up-and-down battle, the Badgers prevailed behind a gritty performance from Frank Kaminsky and his 20 points and 11 rebounds, while Sam Dekker had 16 points and a last-minute triple to seal the deal. But it wasn't as if the Badgers were only relying on those two scorers.
Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig combined for 24 points and nine rebounds, four coming from Hayes on the offensive glass. But the Wildcats stayed in the game for the entire contest. Karl-Anthony Towns scored 16 points and the Harrison twins combined for 25 points to keep Kentucky close between multiple lead changes, before the Wildcats suffered their first loss of the season.
While the Final Four games aired on TBS, the title game will shift to a primetime slot on CBS.
