Wisconsin recruits largely from heavily white states like Wisconsin and Minnesota, along with Illinois. The whites there also often very tall because because of the Scandinavian and German ancestry. The style of play of Wisconsin doesn't go well with the AAU teams either.

Traevon Jackson (Former NBA player Jim Jackson's son if you remember him) said it best.

"White, black, whatever," said Traevon Jackson, one of the five African-Americans on the roster. "We all worked hard, and Coach Ryan is a tough-nosed coach who gets the most out of you. We're in back-to-back Final Fours, and we're looking for more."

My own thoughts are that I hope Wisconsin wins against Kentucky and loses to Michigan State in the finals.

Wisconsin has a very disciplined style. Bo tolerates no show-boating. Is there a racial aspect as to which players enjoy a disciplined team style as opposed to a more freewheeling style? Interesting topic, but verboten in today’s overly PC dominated zeitgeist.
