They are not taking us for granted and have been waiting along time for this re-match.
Wisconsin knows how well it will have to play to defeat Kentucky in Saturday’s Final Four in Indianapolis.
“You can't have a bad game and think you're going to beat them but I think that comes with not only the type of game it is, it's a Final Four game,” said Wisconsin forward Nigel Hayes.
Wisconsin’s Sam Dekker, who had a career-high 27 points in the West Region final win over Arizona, said Kentucky is different because it has “new bodies and new faces and a little more size” this season. He also noted that UK All-American Willie Cauley-Stein didn’t play in last year’s game due to an injury.
They have such a big frontline, and they have so much depth that you never know what's going to happen,” Kaminsky said. “I feel like they didn't play as many people last year as they do this year so we will see how it's different. I'll just do whatever I have to do, whether it's double teams, one‑on‑one's, whoever is guarding me, I will be ready for whatever.”

I hope we do use our depth. I think that is a big advantage we have. I know Cal has shortened the bench some, but I feel it gives us an advantage of staying fresh, getting fouls on the other team, wearing them down, and keeping us out of foul trouble. I would like to see Lee and Dakari each get about 10-15 minutes. I think that could be a factor in us winning. I also hope we really go at Frank in the post. I think a big part in defending him and decker is making them work hard
on the defensive end.

If they drop their guards down low to help guard our bigs we have to kick it back out and get some scoring from our shooters. I think our shooters have to make some crucial 3 pointers if we expect to beat them.

We will need about 6-8 3pointers.
