I think defensive rebounding will be more important for the Bucks in this game than in most. If the Bucks limit Memphis' second chance shots, it will limit Oden's and Hunter's fouling "opportunities" and probably keep Memphis from scoring much over 65. It would also be nice if they officials let a little bit of contact on dribble penetration go, even though that will hurt Conley's offense because Memphis seems to love the dribble-drive.
Other than that, a 7-8 from behind the arc day for Jamar might be nice . . .

Memphis' Dorsey wrote this for Ohio State's bulletin board
CBS SportsLine
Quote:
How well does Greg Oden play when he's [censored]ed off? If Oden reads what you're about to read, we'll find out Saturday when Ohio State plays Memphis for the South Regional championship
With a handful of well-spoken if not well-chosen words, Memphis' Joey Dorsey blew up Oden on Friday, calling the 7-foot All-American "overrated" and saying if his meeting with Oden is a modern-day David vs. Goliath, that Dorsey is Goliath.

"Joey called him out? What did he say?" Calipari said. "He wasn't calling him out. I think (Dorsey) knows he's about to play the best big man in the country, and he's excited about the challenge. If he said it any other way, that's not how he meant it."

Wow, Dorsey is a meathead. I hope the refs let them play. Things could get very interesting.

I've been hoping for that all year with Oden. It's happened in like two games. |

Hi, Memphis fan here.
I too was more worried about TAMU, and it really has nothing to to with accomplishments as it does style of play. For the style of offense that Memphis uses, a tough, physical defense that bumps players and throws off timing is the worst thing you can run into.
Last night was an atypical performance, I wouldn't read too much into it. |

Damn, I hate that Dorsey actually said all that crap...then again, maybe Oden tries too hard and gets into trouble. I guess we'll see in about 18 hours.
I wouldn't be too quick to hope the refs let them get physical. I've seen both play a decent amount and Dorsey a stronger and faster than Oden...too bad he's nowhere near as polished. | |
