But I am not buying stock yet. I think Duke will expose a lot of UW's shortcomings--I expect it to be ugly. A first division finish in the conference and a berth in the tournament would be a terrific season for Bucky. But I am not sure if they are even that good at this point.

For 5 minutes they will look slow and disjointed...similar to last year's struggles. The next 5 minutes will have them canning 3's with Leuer finishing strong around the basket. Hughes, for better or worse, seems to be the key. The point guard for Gonzaga did a great job guarding him and the rest of the Badgers seemed to struggle. He had success against AZ and MD and the team looked good offensively. They are a work in progress, but I certainly think they are much better than the 7th place finish they were slotted for in many preseason publications.
