This game tonight at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin features two of the best "Bigs" you have seen in college basketball in some time. Talented Duke Freshman Jahil Okafor my #1 pick on the Bluedude Sportstalk Green Room List for June 2015 is oozing with ability and talent for a 18-year old that is 7 feet 260. He hails from Chicago Whitney Young HS which has produced DePaul and NBA standout Quentin Richardson, Ohio State's Sam Thompson, and Georgetown's Paul White among others.

Wisconsin has a star in the middle as well featuring "Frank the Tank" Kaminsky who is the prototype NBA "Big" in that he is a rim protector as well as a pick and pop guy with range. He hails from Benet Academy in Lisle, Illinois and the Bluedude knows him all too well as I was coaching at one East Aurora IL HS when UConn's Ryan Boatright and East sent the "Frank the Tank" packing in the Sectional his senior year.

Now we get Duke and Wisconsin with more than just those two players as another key match up that me and NBA scouts drooling id Duke Freshman wing and Bloodline Justice Winslow (Dad Ricky Winslow great Houston Cougar part of Phi Slamma Jamma) and Wisconsin Junior Sam Dekker the best player from reports at the 2014 LeBron James Skills Academy and you have no idea how good Dekker is. He reminds me of a mix between Utah Jazz Gordon Hayward and Mavs Chandler Parsons...that good!

As for the guard play the Bloodline Wisconsin Guard Traevon Jackson (Pops former #3 overall HS Player in 1989 Jim Jackson from Toledo OH Macomber-Whitney HS and Ohio State Buckeyes) has serious game and some shooters around him.

Duke is led by senior guard Quinn Cook from D.C. Assault AAU Fame and freshman Tyus Jones from Apple Valley, Minnesota. They hold the key to keeping those Badgers shooters and wings from going straight Nut Factory at the Bog Kohl Center.

Wisconsin has the edge with their depth but that front line talent Duke possesses is a real treat.
