Their 3pt shooter is Wallace I believe, we will have to keep a good D on him. |

I really use the terms "matching up" and "slowing him down" synonymously. Otherwise, I agree with your assessment.

Greg will have to help out in the paint but if he leaves Hibbert someone will have to adjust. Backside help .
|
However, Oden cannot go wondering much to help because we have no one who can contain Hibbert.

Green is no slouch from the outside but I would rather have him out there than trying to contain his athleticism out on the floor.

I think Dave Lighty has plenty of size to guard Green. I expect to see a lot of Lighty in this game. Green is an excellent player, though, no doubt. |

He may have plenty of size but lighty is 6'5'' and green is i think 6'9''...if he is smaller than that i guess i was just assuming because he plays taller...but still a 4'' advantage is pretty big down low |

you gotta pick your poison with green...hunter can handle him in the post but might not be able to contain him on the perimeter...i see osu playing a lot of 2-3 ala wiskey in this game....lighty can stay with green..in the post you might have to double down on him a little....gtown can hit the 3 but they are nothing like tenn and memphis...i expect to see green of driving at oden....if the hoyas are jacking up 3's then osu is getting the job done
