I struggle to understand why people would say OSU is a much worse matchup that Wisconsin was. On paper, maybe. But the way the game played out - UW hit 14 threes. They started the second half shooting 82% from deep. They have the #1 PPG defense in America. That, folks, is a bad matchup. Yeah OSU will be damn tough. Melo would be huge in this game. But I don't feel like there is any reason to be scared of this game at all. Our players are surging in their confidence right now. KJo is going to play a good game after several sub-par performances. If they don't hit 10+ threes, there is no reason to think we don't have an excellent chance.
 
As for rebounding: yes it is a concern. JB has found the antidote though. An aggressive and athletic Rak to grab a few of them, and also we have honed our skills over the past two games of neutralizing big men by having four to five guys repeatedly drive right into their chins until they leave the game with foul trouble. Then we rebound with impunity.
