I'm thrilled we get Few and the Zags

[OttoinGrotto]

I don't have a lot of respect for Few. But Ottoingrotto, you're thinking, how can that be? He has a winning program every season!

Well, yeah, that's true. But I don't think he challenges himself. He knows he can always compete in the WCC. I think he's a coward and doesn't want to test himself at the highest levels of college hoops. So I don't respect him. I wanted them in Atlantis, and now we're getting them in the tournament. Fantastic.

Gonzaga and Few are the next people in our way.

Really don't like the matchup. Preferred Utah.

 

[br801]

Not sure I like this match up as well as today's. We'll need a continuation of the great interior defense and offense we got today from our bigs to counteract the Zags big men.

I think Zag guards are really going to struggle

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I wanted no part of Utah. I've seen them a lot. I've seen Gonzaga several times this season. Bring on the Zags.

Their bigs are skilled, but they're not very physical. If Roberson stays motivated we're going to do just fine.

I hope you're right. If our three bigs all show up I like our chances.

hey, if someone gave you dayton, MTSU, and the zags for your route to the elite 8, you'd ask how was this even a possibility

I'll take it. Zags are good though -- better than their seed. You just know Sabonis and Wiltjer will give us fits.

Zags are playing very good ball right now. We have a chance to win. However, if we lose it will not change my attitude one iota. I am absolutely thrilled out of my mind right now that THIS team has made the sweet 16!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!

LGO!

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Sabonis is going to dominate us

 

[Shermthegeneral]

I think this is a tough matchup for us similar to Pitt. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[cuseattle]

There are going to be a ton of bandwagon jumping Gonzaga fans in Seattle this week.

 

[rocklloyd]

I think jimmy and few are buddies. With few even picking his brain on zone a few years ago

 

[Dave85]

Sabonis is going to dominate us

I begrudgingly agree. It's going to be tough game. But our defense is playing very good right now. Lydon is stronger than he looks and Sabonis is not going to push Coleman around.

 

[Shawn91111]

The Zags forum doesn't like you Otto

 

[Ajflood12]

I know it was early but they lost to UCONN and A&M. We beat them both. It's not like they are unbeatable.

 

[MikeSU02]

I am worried about the Zags. Would rather have played Utah.

But with that said, we haven't won by fluke. JB is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers.

Few will have his team as ready as possible, but remember, our team has at least two, and maybe three NBA players. JB is a better coach than Few. We are the better seed. And this game is in Chicago, not Portland or something like that.

These guys haven't played us and there isn't an Anthony Davis-level talent on the court against us.

We got this. the NCAA. the haters. Gonzaga.

 

[Scotch]

Their bigs are skilled, but they're not very physical. If Roberson stays motivated we're going to do just fine.

Sabonis is physical, Wiltjer not so much. Terrified of either in the middle of the zone though. Not loving this matchup, but whatever, it's all gravy from here!

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Well they're not used to teams and conferences that play at the highest level of college basketball being able to assess their team, so I can understand that they're having difficulty with the truth.

 

[Libero2]

Again, they are an 11 seed for a reason, just like MTSU was a 15 seed for a reason.

They are not a universally dominating group. They have flaws, this is the first time they have played the zone this year, (in a while actually) and if we play well, we can (and will) beat them.

But we are a 10 seed for a reason as well, when we are bad, we are really bad. But when we are good (like this weekend) we are really good.

Let's see what Chicago holds, but you have to like our chances better against an 11 seed with a history of shorter than anticipated tournament runs, as opposed to a 3 seeded Utah team that has been very strong all year.

To heck with it, it's the Sweet Sixteen, records be damned, let's just LGO this to death

 

[OttoinGrotto]

And another thing, I love that Coach Boeheim and few are supposedly friendly. JB hates playing his friends... but he hates losing to them even more.

We're going to see some of his best work.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Sabonis is too slow to guard Lydon at the three point line. Bring them on!

 

[rrlbees]

Sabonis is going to dominate us

How many times you going to say that? 3 threads so far.

 

[Rage4CUSE]

Let Sabonis dominate us. We'll shut down the other four players.
