Wisconsin is a strong and physical team but I'd like to think we can hang with them, even at their best. Well, at Wisconsin's best, they took Minnesota in 5. They are a very athletic team that plays very inconsistantly. However, I still like their chances. Bik, obviously Wisconsin will have their hands full with Hawaii, they're supposed to being the lower seeded team. But thanks for stating the obvious. |

And obviously, Hawaii will have its hands full with Wisconsin as well. Right now the Badgers are playing as well as anyone in the country, didn't lose a game this first round, and exhibited a mental toughness that I wasn't aware was part of this team's makeup. Their victory in the first game against Notre Dame, rallying from a deficit of 29-23 and surviving nine game points by ND to win 36-34 was incredible, especially when you consider the youth of this team. I know Hawaii has some young players as well, who have responded so far.
But I don't think the Badgers will fold if the pressure gets turned up. Not after that game. Both of these teams will need to bring their A games.
Incidentally, I did write earlier that I believed the Wahine would not survive this last weekend. I was wrong, they made it. Congrats to them for exhibiting their own brand of mental toughness.

Yeah. Bomber you are entitled to your opinion. I think anybody not expecting a tough, mentally draining match is sorely mistaken. It will be battle where either team must come through in the crucial moments like Wisconsin against Notre Dame in Game 1.
