| |  | GEORGETOWN: The Hoyas are coming off a rough season, but there are plenty of reasons for this team to be optimistic. Junior PG D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera (17.6 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 2.7 APG) had a huge season last year, doing everything he could to help the Hoyas compete. He is a strong and physical guard, who can also hit from the outside (39% threes). PF Mikael Hopkins (6.0 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 1.5 BPG) is a defensive presence that can make things difficult for opponents trying to enter the lane. If he can continue to improve on the offensive end of the court, then the Hoyas could have a player posting consistent double-doubles. However, the guy that could take this team from a solid team to a legit contender is 6-foot-10, 350-pound senior C Josh Smith (11.5 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 65% FG). He has had some off-court issues, and conditioning has caused him to miss some time as well. However, when Smith is on the court and focused, very few big men in the country can play like he does. He is incredibly agile for a player his size, and he has a nice touch at the rim. | | WISCONSIN: The Badgers were less than 15 seconds away from playing in the championship game before losing that Final Four game to Kentucky in the final seconds. C Frank Kaminsky (13.9 PPG, 6.3 RPG and 1.7 BPG) is one of the most difficult matchups in college basketball. At 7-foot, he has the post game to cause problems. However, it his ability to step out and hit the long-range jump shot that makes him so tough to stop. When he is on the block, it forces a double-team, opening up floor spacing for guys like SF Sam Dekker (12.4 PPG, 6.1 RPG and 1.4 APG) and PG Traevon Jackson (10.7 PPG, 4.0 APG, 3.8 APG). Like Kaminsky, Dekker is versatile enough to hit the three-point shot, while also scoring on the block. PG Josh Gasser (8.8 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 1.9 APG) is solid floor general that knows how to run Bo Ryan's offense. The guy to look out for is athletic sophomore PF Nigel Hayes (7.7 PPG, 2.8 RPG) who has an expanded role on the team this season. The Badgers can go big, and find the mismatches created by him and Dekker on the wing. |

*Georgetown-Wisconsin Preview* ==============================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Georgetown (4-0) at Wisconsin (5-0), 3:30 p.m. EDT
Wisconsin was the only ranked team to survive an unpredictable first day of action at the Battle 4 Atlantis.
With the second-ranked Badgers now a clear favorite among the four survivors in the winner's bracket, they'll look to continue their non-conference success against Georgetown in Thursday's semifinal in the Bahamas.
Wisconsin (5-0) is the highest-ranked team in the field and figured to be challenged by No. 5 North Carolina, No. 18 Florida and No. 22 UCLA at some point. While all of those teams were toppled in Wednesday's first round by unranked squads, however, the Badgers secured a 72-43 win over Alabama-Birmingham.
"We're just glad to be playing in the winner's bracket," said coach Bo Ryan, whose team is 5-0 for the third time in four seasons.
The Badgers continued to play some of the nation's stingiest defense. They held the Blazers to 35.3 percent shooting and forced a season-high 19 turnovers while handing them their worst loss in more than six years. Wisconsin has held four of its opponents to 35.4 percent shooting or worse, with Boise State's 42.9 field-goal percentage in Saturday's 78-54 win marking the highest they've allowed.
"We played pretty well on the defensive end," said Josh Gasser, who scored 10 points and was 2 of 2 from 3-point range to improve to 8 of 12 on the season.
Ryan's squad, which hasn't trailed by more than two points and led wire-to-wire Wednesday, is allowing just 46.6 points per game. The single-season low mark for points allowed under Ryan was the 53.2 per game surrendered by the 2011-12 team.
Wisconsin has been maybe equally impressive offensively, shooting at least 48.9 percent or better in each game. The Badgers were 27 of 52 (51.9 percent) Wednesday, with Frank Kaminsky scoring a team-high 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting with eight rebounds.
The preseason All-American is averaging 18.6 points on 62.3 percent shooting.
"As fun as Atlantis is with all the water slides and everything, this is a business trip for us," Kaminsky said.
Wisconsin has won 21 straight regular-season non-conference games and 43 of 45 dating back to Dec. 1, 2010.
"The team sitting in front of us tomorrow is a monster," Georgetown coach John Thompson III said.
The Hoyas (4-0) have had some success recently against giants, though, splitting their last eight meetings with Top 5 opponents.
Georgetown advanced with a 66-65 overtime win over the Gators. D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera hit the game-winning basket with 3.4 seconds left - the last of 21 lead changes. He was 7 of 14 for a game-high 17 points after averaging 9.0 points on 31.8 percent shooting in his first three contests.
Joshua Smith came in as the team's leading scorer with 17.3 points per game, but the 6-foot-10, 350-pounder was whistled for two flagrant fouls and played only 17 minutes, scoring eight points.
Baskets could be difficult to come by for both teams as Georgetown's opponents are shooting 35.0 percent while averaging 63.8 points.
Wednesday marks the schools' third meeting but first in nearly 32 years. Georgetown won 71-43 in Los Angeles on Dec. 28, 1982, and Wisconsin won 82-62 in Milwaukee on Dec. 28, 1971.
