In a way, Wiscy '12 similar to Butler '10

[pearl31]

One could say that:
- Jordan Taylor similar to Shelvin Mack
- Evans similar to Heywood
- Berggren similar to Howard
- Very similar style of play: rugged, clutch/grab defense with good 3pt shooting from all positions; grinding; decent athleticism
- Sweet 16 where we're the 1 seed
- Losing our starting center just before the tourney started

Hopefully KJ and Scoop learned from that game two years ago. Hopefully the team comes out with significantly more energy than the SU team did two years ago. Hopefully the end result is different.

one big difference is that in 2010, our offense was built from the inside out - JB began nearly every game by going inside to Arinze and establishing the low post before getting Wes, Andy and Kris involved. When Arinze went down, that turned the offense upside down. We opened the Butler game by missing a bunch of jump shots and turning the ball over trying (unsuccessfully) to establish Ricky on the post.

Losing Fab changes the defense, but it doesn't really effect the offense, which has been perimeter oriented all year long.

As long as every offensive set Wiscy runs doesn't have a moving screen I'm fine. Matt Howard.

I hope JB drops that in the ears of the refs early in the game.

No Suplex.

I kinda wish he'd start talking about it now, to be honest.

Raise awareness, put the refs on notice. It works.

If we get down early...he might need to get a technical. Then we'll get the next 5 calls. Thats usually the trade off for a technical on a top coach.
