    Dump Syracuse!

    I wouldn't go that far. Roy is the most over rated coach in the game.

    It absolutely will be a good game. One thing I noticed about your wins and losses is that you rarely got blown out. I think only once against Baylor if I recall. Likewise, UConn has struggled to find a killer instinct all year. IMO this game is gonna be hard fought, and decided in the last 2...

    Also, How is White as a jump shooter? Can he make 15-18 footers? Can he shoot off the dribble? It seems like his game is more about penetrating and creating. Can you play defense against him like Rondo and just dare him to shoot 18 footers all day?

    Question for ISU fans

    Its not just gonna be Drummond. Roscoe Smith will get 10-15 minutes on him as well.

    Ya Midwest Zest. The **** the NCAA pulled with Boatright was disgraceful. Many times our offense stalls. Its a chicken and egg type of situation. To the casual observer it seems that Bazz is a "chucker" and hogs the ball. If you dissect it further, many times Lamb just stands there on the...

    How much do you know about Roscoe Smith or Ryan Boatright? Besides the teams in your conference, how many non conference teams do you know their 4-6th best player?

    To say this season has been trying is an understatement. IMHO there are several reasons why the huskies have under performed. 1). Lack of continuity/leadership/identity. Obviously we lost Kemba who had the single best season of college basketball ever on and off the court. It was like going...

    If I were you, I'd be extremely concerned about defending our guards. Against our base line up of SN, JL, RS, AO, AD it seems like you will have the following match ups: Bazz 6'1 170 vs Scotty 6'3 195 Lamb 6'5 180 vs Allen 6'3 205 Smith 6'8 205 vs Babb 6'5 225 I love those match ups as I...

    We have struggled defending the 3 all year. Partially because we tend over help on defense. Our 3 point defense is my biggest fear. However, our 3 point defense has been noticeably better over the last 5 games or so...

    Drummond has the lateral quickness to man up White's dribble penetration IMO unless we are talking about Blake Griffin like athleticism.

    I agree. It sounds like White is a monster. Drummond is a monster on the defensive end. It will be a great match up. Again, I think the key is to defend him 1 on 1 and limit the other cyclone shooters.

    Imagine a guy who is 6'11 270 that moves like a gazelle and has drawn physical comparisons to Dwight Howard and Amare Stoudamire. If we were talking about offensive skill than Drummond is nothing to go gaga about. But if we are just talking about defensive ability, the ability to play 1 on 1...

    PG- Napier- will play 35+ minutes a game SG- Lamb - will play 35+ minutes a game SF- Roscoe Smith 6'8 SF/PF hybrid. Great defender and on the boards. He is brings the toughness and intangibles to our team. If he is playing well, our team generally is playing with a lot of energy and toughness...

    I get what your saying. He's your "point forward" But how dangerous is a guy 50 or 30 feet from the hoop? All that tells me is that you have an effective answer to full court on the ball pressure.

    And that is my fear. There is no reason that we should have to double down on him. In my obviously biased opinion, Drummond should be able to lock him down. What I'm stressing is that even if Drummond can't play great defense on him, the rest of the 4 players on the court need to stay on their...
