They play the same game, though they come at it from opposite sides of the court.
Kentucky has a coach labeled a renegade, a rotating stable of McDonald's All-Americans and sky high expectations every year. Wisconsin has a coach who has stayed firmly in one state for three decades, a lineup filled with juniors and seniors and an aw-shucks attitude about its first trip to the Final Four in more than a decade.
They meet Saturday in the national semifinals – the One-and-Done Wildcats (28-10) two wins from the program's ninth national title and the Badgers (30-7) making their first trip this far in the tournament since 2000.
”Frank Sinatra, wasn't that the song? We did it our way?” Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said. ”Everybody's doing it their way. If you're a coach and here's the landscape, you do it the best way you can.”
