Maybe MSU falls on their face and opens up the bracket.

Last time we snuck in we had big bad MSU facing us round 2 - except they didn't make it out of the 1st round.

Bucknell is no joke.

I’ll do a breakdown of them later. They sort of remind me of NC ST with their guards and ability to create and set up shots for themselves and others. Really small team. Unfortunately we don’t really go inside or post up. Romello White is a good under the radar frosh who is a PF/C for them like the way Lydon played on D. Frank and Tyus MUST be on their A-games. Might be hard to drive around these guys too.

I would think we should clean up the offensive glass

I have jury duty this week. Any ideas about how I can get out of it? I have a very high juror number #600+ and wasn't called tomorrow.

Tell them you are a ND fan and need time to mourn.

 

[JDubbin]

Who is going to dayton?

 

[cusefan88]

Do we get a Friday game after?

yes

Hopefully. They are very quick. Maybe the quickest team (and smallest) team we will have played all year. Fascinating matchup and a good one!

Opening as a pick 'em game

 

[MG44]

So I'd have to be selected for Tuesday, and then attend and say that, unless you're saying I should blow off Wednesday completely, which doesn't seem wise.

Just blow them off, and if they call (which they wont) just say "no habla ingles" and hang up.

how did they do against Hop's zone?

Talked about on page 1

 

[Shawn91111]

Reading their forum they have struggled against any zone play this year

Commit a felony.

Commit a felony.

Only works if the jail has cable tv.

 

[Orangezoo]

Guarantee we get one heck of a great scouting report from Hop on ASU. That can only help.

I was just trying to get him off jury duty. One step at a time

 

[Orangezoo]

ASU should be much more like facing Va Tech or BC given their stable of guards and smaller front court. Matchup actually could work out for us as long as we rebound. Have to expect we give up 9-12 3s. If we rebound well and take advantage of their softer defense and our size, we can get it done.

 

[themorey]

Does ASU play a zone? If not I like our chances.

 

[Toga]

Jamie Dixon if we win. Wow. That is like just playing with us.

Looking forward to the losing blow-by handshake.

Might be hard to drive around these guys too. They definitely have the firepower to really assault us badly but this zone of ours should slow them down and create problems. Can’t have bad Frank on offense or we could get blown out of the building, IMO.

Marek and PC Part 2?

 

[JazzNC]

I think we can win our first two games. Then get Bucknell to knock out MSU... hey you never know!

 

[JOC44]

easy, just say you cannot be unbias since you believe defendants are always guilty

You’ve got to be more nuanced than that. Judges spot that a mile away.

“Well, I know that the criminal justice system has a lot of checks and balances that tend to get rid of cases where the defendant is actually not guilty, so if we get to this point there’s probably a reason and then it just becomes whether the prosecution can prove that the guy did it. <Insert pause, followed by sigh>. But I understand my oath and would try to keep an open mind.”

Defense counsel: I think we can excuse this juror.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Marek and PC Part 2?

I mean if they step up and we execute trying to make that happen then yep. Could be a big advantage. But if ball pressure gets to Frank and co. and we just jack 3s then it’s over. They beat Kansas at Phog and Xavier. These muhf&ckas can really ball if they are on.

 

[Newhouser]

Not a fan of trying to control quicks who can shoot. We need to control tempo...big time and our "big 3"- need to be big

 

[realorange]

Sounds like they might get frustrated if we slow the game down on offense and slow down their offense with the zone.

KU and X both like to run and maybe that's why they got beat in an up and down game. They sure won't get that from us.
