whitesoxfan101 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Until Duke recruits athletic wings, they are going to have issues. Just recruiting small guards that shoot 3's and aren't plus athletes and giant guys who play inside, they need some wings/big guards. They are too slow and too white and have no 3's (by that I mean small forwards/big 2 guards), and you can't win that way, you must be more versatile.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I posted this in the other thread too so here goes. Thoughts on LSU/Texas? I think this will be a great battle between 2 very evenly matched teams. The key is which teams guards can hit some perimeter shots, whoever does that IMO wins because I think the great front lines of these 2 teams will cancel each other out. I'm going to say Daniel Gibson and the senior Paulino come up big and Texas wins a close one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to say Daniel Gibson and the senior Paulino come up big and Texas wins a close one. I'm gonna go with Texas because I have them in the Final Four. But I wouldn't be surprised in the least if LSU pulled it out. Like you said, the front-courts cancel each other out. I might give LSU the advantage on the perimiter.

I'm going to say Daniel Gibson and the senior Paulino come up big and Texas wins a close one. I definitely think it will a really good game, and I agree that Texas has a slight edge because of Gibson and Paulino. LSU's guards can often struggle, especially if Darrell Mitchell has an off game. Temple is only okay, and Voogd is bad. Because of that they can often struggle to get the ball to their elite big men in the right spots. I think Texas is a bit more efficient at doing that, although both would be a lot more effective with some efficient pass-first guards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompson was a bust at Northwestern too, so you know he was bad. While I wouldn't call it the best class ever (or even close), you certainly would expect more than 1 Final Four and no titles.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 That 2002 Duke class is why i'm not annoiting Ohio State is royalty yet. Oden is a stud, but after him it's been proven time and time again that recruiting is a crapshoot. Oh, and Texas REALLY should press LSU. They have the athletes to do it, Texas is way better in an uptempo game, and LSU's guards are s*** ball handlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
