Joe Krabbenhoff says the first rule of basketball at Wisconsin is "to protect the rim." The Badgers will get a 40 minute lesson in protecting the rim when they meet Kansas State on Saturday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
They got there by beating Cal State in their usual Badger style: dominance inside, win the battle of the rebound, and blocking shots against an undersize team that made it easy for the Badgers to practice the first rule.
It wont be so easy against the Wildcats who may have the best college basketball finisher in Michael Beasley.

Definitely going to be harder this time around for the Badgers.
Will they succeed?
