I'll pick them to win it all a la Syracuse in 2002-03... Let's see how they compare.
Oden vs. Melo- Yes, Oden hasn't put on a buckeye jersey yet, but he is as close to a can't miss prospect as there is. Carmelo was the star of his team and expect Oden to be the same way.
Butler vs. McNamara- I actually think we are better here than Syracuse was just because of experience, but each player is just as good as the other.
Lewis/ Cook vs. Warrick- Whichever guy plays the small forward will make up what Warrick brings in rebounding in scoring.
Rest of this year's
OSU vs. Rest of 2002-03 'Cuse- I think we hold the upper hand with guys like Conley, Twigs, Lighty, and Harris/ Hunter coming off the bench.
Matta vs. Boeheim- Right now I would take Matta over any coach in the game.
All of that adds up to a comparable team to that national championship team. Led by some very talented freshmen with an outstanding coach.
