Nice mention of Syracuse. People are jumping back on the Cuse train to NOLA. Sentiment was that Syracuse can and should make the Final 4 even without Fab Melo. Looked great yesterday, still deepest team in America. Mentioned our length and athleticism. Along with UNC, only team that can beat UK.

Bob Ryan has been on board all season

Yeah I know he has; UK fans were up in arms when he said we were the best team in America. I wasn't addressing just the sports reporters; but those other analysts who thought we have no shot without Fab, then are changing their mind now.

One more win, and I think we may be on a mission!

Fingers crossed.

I agree, lets get past this slow moving Wisconsin team, that i feel can hurt us since we need to play up-tempo... fingers crossed for the game

Getting passed Bo Ryan when he has 4 days to prepare will be harder than getting passed Thad Matta when he has 1.

While I agree somewhat, Bo Ryan has nowhere near the players Thad Matta has. If we get a lead its over. Hopefully we dont have to play from behind (Talking to you Starting 5).

I REALLY like how our personnel matches up with OSU. THe only player that might be a problem is Thomas.

Hmmm, so you're the only guy in America that hasn't seen Sullinger?

When Vandy went zone yesterday you could see how much it rattled Wisky.
They have that "swing" offense where the bigs go beyond the circle, drag the defense's bigs leaving the middle open, to spark a dribble-drive for their shooters. They can't do that effectively versus a zone.
Asking them to adjust their offense for an entire game should result in a number of turnovers. Also, they have versatile shooters, but no GREAT outside shooters.
This is a much better matchup for us than Vandy, who had the potential to get hot and go nuts from multiple spots.

Good analysis, I'm not sure why people think they're an outstanding shooting team. Vandy was a MUCH better shooting team.
