They have a good, true freshman point guard, a good perimeter shooter, and a good big man. I'm most worried about the big man. He's a big thick country fellow that could give Swat some trouble. Kind of like Ogilvy.</p>
going to really struggle. They have mostly smaller guards that drive and dish. Only one is a good shooter and he is great. See this post from a UW fan:
This really is a nightmare draw for us. What this means is
Offense:
1) Brockman is essentially nullified on the offensive end.
2) Our guards driving the lane will be much less effective.
Defense:
1) While I generally think we play good man-to-man defense, our one major weakness is on the perimeter. Our switching is often slow and we leave too many uncontested/poorly contested threes.
This one really has me worried.
I hope to heck I'm wrong and I echo the other poster in that I'd much rather play Purdue to start the tournament
Teams that aren't used to playing Jarvis really struggle with his length. it's tough to size up Jarvis on tape. Let's just pray the refs let Jarvis play. If not, foul trouble could come early
<div class="messagebody"> They have the nation's best shot blocker, and all of our guards are under 6'0". We HAVE to get them into foul trouble, and we have to make our jump shots.
It's going to be a weird game having our guards be more physical than the other team's guards. </div>
You usually have to worry about bad calls like the bull rush by Chism that was called a "block". Also he has a great reputation for blocked shots and refs usually give the player with the rep the benefit of the doubt. He gets less fouls now than he did as a freshman.
