I know we can’t look ahead at all
; but both of Loyola’s guards are under 6’1” ...

Marek againt the Loyola center would be epic but so would playing against Stevie's son. If can get by Houston great match up either way.

Yep. Today would be tougher than Monday - I bet Houston thinks the same too.

Oregon state has a massive center but the dude can barely move - no idea how he could guard anyone against us

Both Loyola and OState create difficult match ups. Id rather play OState as Loyola is so well coached and there center will be a handful for Gumby.

Marek would have an advantage offensively big time, as would our guards (all 3) against Loyola.

I think we matchup beyyrr with both of these teams as opposed to Houston (no surprise, look at the seeds).

but I hate looking ahead

I still don’t understand why they put the worst game of the weekend on paper (Arkansas vs Oral Roberts) in the best time slot...

im rooting for oregon st. loyola is a top 10 kenpom team, and made the final 4 in 2018. and took apart illinois. id rather face a team thats never been here before.

Aw, c’mon!

Who doesn’t love a little Oral action?

Makes for a nice warmup for the main event.

This.

Also - assuming we get past Houston, then the whole father & son / Syracuse connection w the Boeheims & Thompson’s would be amazing.

 

[Vorony]

We also beat down a Wayne Tinkle team a few years ago - although he has much better talent on this Oregon State team than he did at Montana. But I’d take my chances on him coaching against the zone vs. Moser.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Beat Houston.

 

[rhcuse]

Hoping the Beavers Tinkle on the Ramblers.

Let’s go Oregon St!

 

[UpstateSM]

Loyola is easily the best defensive team I’ve seen this season

 

[Cusesky8214]

Farva kills me. Hell of a player though

 

[NateW]

They are going to blow out Oregon St imo

Krutwig's birth certificate

 

[Orangezoo]

Oregon state going to give them some zone practice it looks too. Should we win that's a plus for Loyola.

 

[HakAttack]

Oregon St’s offense looks awful.

I explained this in another thread. They are guaranteed eyeballs in that timeslot, so they put the "worst" matchup there. That's why SU, the biggest draw, is on late.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Oregon St’s offense looks awful.

How do you get Loyola in a Sweet 16 and show up looking unconfident adn get bullied on the glass so far?

But we all know that not a single zone compares to ours. Let Loyola feel comfortable because IF we play them they may be in for a rude awakening if they think the zone they see today is like ours.

That zone looked different than ours they are keeping their wings back.

Like Illinois, Oregon State runs a lot action off picks from their big guy and then send him to the post. Loyola shut that down for the Illini. Oregon state doesn't have the one on one players to hurt them so it's going to be really hard unless they sacrifice defense for offense and go smaller.
