How do we matchup.

It seems to me we are close at most positions but I think we have the advantage in every position. Opinions.





I admit I have not seen much of IU this year

Our bigs should dominate as they have 1 big who can't play a lick of D. IU is garbage on D as well. WE stop their 3 we win going away. WE don't and it could be bad for us .

I think Briscoe will do a good job on Troy Williams. Briscoe is a bulldog. Poythress does not need to pick fouls 30 feet from the basket.

We usually do well at stopping the 3 point shot. I really like our chances. We can;t start as bad offensively as we did tonight

No, an IU fan on Peegs broke it down and, apparently, they have the advantage at every position. He said also advantage Crean at head coach.

So in reality, we are doomed.

Ulis-Ferrell: Advantage Ulis. Obviously the closest matchup for both teams, but Ferrell is turnover prone. Ulis is the better floor general, better facilitator. About equal in scoring ability, but everything else is in Ulis' favor. Best PG in the country against probably the third best PG in the country. Will be fun to watch.

Murray-Ziesloft: Advantage HEAVILY in Murray's favor. Ziesloft is a good shooter, but Murray is elite. Both will hit threes in the game, but Murray will score 20+, Ziesloft will score about 8. Not close here.

Briscoe-Williams: Advantage slightly in Williams favor, but close enough to be a wash

Poythress-Hartman: Big advantage Poythress. Not even close here. Hartman is nothing more than a role player. Poythress should have a field day on him.

Labissiere-Bryant: Slight advantage to Bryant, only because Skal's production is unknown game to game. Could play great, could be invisible. Bryant is fairly consistent. Not overwhelming in the slightest, especially what Hoosier fans seem to believe. If Skal plays the way he played today, I would say this matchup is a wash.

Bench: Slight advantage to IU
IU's bench is nothing special at all, but considering they have a couple 8 PPG scorers and another guy with 4 PPG, I guess you can say they have a slight "edge." They have four guys getting a lot of minutes off the bench, whereas UK has just Willis and Lee getting consistent minutes. Humphries is valuable when he gets time, but it's never certain he even gets in the game. Matthews is playing well as of late, but again, his minutes are very inconsistent.
Again, IU's bench is not great by any means, only have more consistent minutes and combine for 23 PPG or so.

IU looked scary tonight, but they were hitting on all cylinders and shot 65% from the field on a team that played ZERO defense. Highly doubt they can match that offensive production, especially with a hand in their face.

Yes, IU is good. They looked really good. Playing better than a 5 seed.

But UK looked elite. Number one seed-elite.

I'll take my team.

Except they only have 1 . Williams is not a big. Briscoe will take him to school and I have dreams of Williams charging and charging are players. It comes down to stopping their 3 as they won;t stop us in any fashion .

IU has a terrific offense. In fact it's one of the great offenses in the country. At the same time there defense is absolute trash. I've watched IU many times this season and they don't even play defense. Has to be one of the worst defenses if not the worst defense in the NCAAT. Out of all the P5 teams in the NCAAT im almost sure its the worst defense. They might be the worst defensive team altogether, definitely the worst among P5 teams in the NCAAT. Idk about the actual numbers but as far as the eye test goes there defense is the worst It's actually sad watching them play defense. Ulis, Murray, and briscoe are going to have a field day. Cats by 20+
