If our bigs play like they did against Iowa state and Estrella plays a little better we will dominate their bigs. Big 10 was weaker in the post this year than usual. Michigan was able to take advantage of that.

What is interesting about him is that he is completely ineffective after he gets 8 feet from the basket. Should allow Felix to back off and protect the rim since he doesn’t really have to worry about Mara away from the basket.

My only concern is I’m not sure we have a guy that matches up well with lendebourg

That’s a really good point and I hope you are correct. If we continue to play and execute like we have so far well be a tough out for any team and have a real shot to win.

Duke got into his body because he is pretty weak and they got fouls in him. They weren’t quite the same with him not in there. The PG is very fast but sometimes can’t and won’t shoot. He has shot better than last year at UNC but sometimes still struggles

Cadeua is shooting a lot better than his unc days. He also fires them up at will and can shoot themselves out of it. I’d try and get Carey to go at Mara a few times in 1H and see if he can bully him and draw a foul.

Big 10 front lines are no weaker than ANY other conference, and probably bigger and stronger than all. Nebraska, Illinois, Purdue, Iowa, etc all have big strong guys in the front court. And its no surprise that the Big 10 dominated this tourney with 6 in the Sweet 16.

I don’t think we win because they have too many kids that can score….they haven’t played a front court line ours all year

Ament - we have the perfect guy to guard him on the perimeter
