--- I did like this stat though: If you dropped the Iowa State 3-point shooters into the Big Ten season stats, they'd rank first, second, fourth, sixth and 13th in 3-point percentage.

Ohio State has to feel pretty good about the West.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 23, 2013 -> 01:46 AM) Thomas scoring 20 and Craft bothering your PG. The rest is up in the air. Thompson learned how to shoot these last 8 games so who knows. I'm guessing Babb will be bothering Thomas and no one for ISU will score 20. Hopefully Lucious can play alright with Craft on him. Same question I had about ND, but has Ohio State played against a lot of 5-out?

Rock, what should I expect with the Buckeyes? I've never seen the Iowa State team that played tonight.

So yeah, Notre Dame hasn't faced anyone like Iowa State.

ST: 3/19 vs Reds- 3pm
I love how everyone wants us to throw money at everything. We did. That's the risk in it.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 19, 2013 -> 03:05 PM) Cooley is a decent shooter out to about 12-13 feet, especially along the baseline. He's also an excellent offensive rebounder. Yeah, expecting to give up offensive boards. Can Cooley defend the three point line? We go 5-out none-in.

ST: 3/19 vs Reds- 3pm
Estimates for Dunn's HR at about 450 feet.

ST: 3/19 vs Reds- 3pm
Apparently Adam Dunn just destroyed a three run shot off of Bailey.

Listening through the Reds announcers - their color guy sounds exactly like Melton, except he can pronounce names.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 08:15 PM) Again need help picking games for a $50 entry pool. Here are the games in this reason I would like some insight on. Already saw some on ISU - ND. Wisconsin (5) - Ole Miss (12) - I have Wisky picked but am hesitant to really believe in them when not playing Indiana. I've bashed Miss all year so I don't see myself changing my mind, but I'd love alternate thoughts. Notre Dame (7) - Iowa State (10) - I went against ISU last year against UConn and they bit me in the ass. Does anyone have a strong argument for the following upsets? - Boise State/LaSalle over K State? Belmont over Arizona? Relatively confident that Notre Dame has not played anyone like Iowa State. About 45% of the shots are from three and we play at a pretty high tempo at the same time. Really all depends if either team plays defense or not. Does Cooley have a mid-range game or is he more of a block guy? We defend guys that stay on the block a lot better than bigs that can shoot.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Mar 19, 2013 -> 01:59 AM) Since I live in Kansas I'd love your opinion of KU and its fanbase. Do you all ever run into Kansas fans? As far as this region ... Kansas has iffy point guard play in Johnson and Tharpe. Ben McLemore who is a 2 guard, however, is good. Say what you want about Bill Self. He is a good coach. I think Kansas might get upset by North Carolina this time. If KU survives that game and also the Michigan game, I think it will win it all. Those 2 games are very very difficult for Kansas IMO. I can't see the J-hawks beating Michigan. Oh God, don't get us Cyclone fans started on Kansas. Bill Self is one of the very best coaches in the nation, though.

Pomeroy has also remarked in the past that he feels his system overrates Wisconsin. I still think Wisconsin will win.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 03:20 PM) Ha. I'm obviously not actively staring at their asses or anything, but Flowers has a monster trunk from which a lot of his power is generated. AJ's power is much more quick wrists and sending the bat through the zone quickly (which is why he can make contact like he does) while Flowers comes from drive from his legs, which is why his bat speed is slower, he'll strike out more, but he'll also hit more home runs. He generates all kinds of power from those legs, and if he didn't have them, he'd be a 6'4, 215 and he'd go by the name Cole Armstrong. It would seem that wite likes big butts and he cannot lie.

As someone who hasn't really watched Notre Dame...can they guard the three? Good with dribble penetration?
