Kentucky faces a Texas-sized task defending Wisconsin 7-footer Frank Kaminsky, and not just because he's the tallest player the Wildcats have faced in the NCAA tournament.
The Badger junior's ability to score inside and outside forces the Wildcats (28-10) to keep a body on him near the basket and deny on the perimeter.
Increasing the challenge for Kentucky's frontcourt is the absence of 7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein, who's sidelined by an ankle injury. With Cauley-Stein out, Kentucky will turn to 7-0 freshman center Dakari Johnson – who has developed into an inside presence during the postseason – and Marcus Lee.
