Bold Predictions For No. 1 Wisconsin vs. No. 8 Oregon

Oregon Basketball — The Oregon Ducks will have the tough task of going up against the Wisconsin Badgers next. Do they have a chance to win is the real question.

Find out in these five bold predictions.

The Oregon Ducks will have the tough task of going up against the Wisconsin Badgers next. Do they have a chance to win is the real question.

Find out in these five bold predictions.

5. Frank Kaminsky Is Good For 15 Points, 10 Rebounds

5. Frank Kaminsky Is Good For 15 Points, 10 Rebounds

As we saw in last year's tournament (and the entire 2014-15 season), Frank Kaminsky is a mismatch nightmare. Kaminsky had 27 points and 12 rebounds in the round of 64. Saying he will only score 15 is a stretch, but Wisconsin has plenty of other talent as well. Regardless, 15 points and 10 boards sounds about right for the big man.

4. Joseph Young Leads All Scorers

4. Joseph Young Leads All Scorers

Joseph Young is a scoring machine. After all, he averaged 20.2 PPG on the season and had 27 in the round of 64. Even if Young has to shoot the ball more than 20 times (shot it 15 times last game), he will lead all scorers.

3. Sam Dekker Leads Wisconsin With 20 Points

3. Sam Dekker Leads Wisconsin With 20 Points

Mr. Dekker had 20 points in the round of 64. He doesn't get as much attention as Kaminsky, but he is still one of the best players on the court every time the Badgers take said court. He will show us all that with 20 or more points against Oregon.

2. Oregon Trails By More Than 10 At Half

2. Oregon Trails By More Than 10 At Half

Wisconsin is a No. 1 seed for a reason. The Badgers will come out hot in this game, and Oregon simply won't have an answer. I expect Young and the Ducks to make some sort of a run at some point, but that run won't be until the second half.

1. Wisconsin Advances To Sweet 16

1. Wisconsin Advances To Sweet 16

I know, I know. Not the most bold prediction of all time, but it is the right one. Wisconsin has so many weapons on offense and a very good defense as well. This team is the ultimate package and a run to the Final Four (again) could be in store for Wisconsin.

Wisconsin Basketball Creates 'Fresh Prince' Parody For Sweet 16

.@BTNBrentYarina Exhibit Ahttps://t.co/nn2oiGHqAB

— Wisconsin Basketball (@BadgerMBB) March 24, 2016

The No. 7 Wisconsin Badgers take on No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Sweet 16 on Friday. The game will take place in Philadelphia, so a few members of the team decided to make a "Fresh Prince" parody in reference to Will Smith's character, who hailed from the City of Brotherly Love on the classic '90s show.
