I don't see Oden winning the battle in this one. Hibbert has the experience doing the little things that draw fouls and keep him from drawing them. We use our quickness to win this one from the perimeter.

I agree about Oden having to play Hibbert even but Hibbert fouled out of the last game and had 4 today. I see him with as much possibility of fouling out as Greg. Green and Hibbert both in at the same time scares me more.
We will have to defense them and outrebound them. |

Here's a stat - G'Town's 5 starters scored 86 points today.

I disagree. In fact, I think it'll be a little easier just because the refs won't be calling ticky-tack fouls since Hibbert is of about the same size. The refs seem to feel obligated to call a foul on Oden just for breathing on smaller players. Oden will be able to let loose a little more. Hibbert will be tough but if the refs let them play I like Oden.

If they duplicate their performance against us They will deserve to win the game But that is going To be very hard for them to do--I think.

It should be a great game. G-Town was my pick to win it all in my "head" bracket (the one of three I've done that didn't have OSU winning as a heart pick), and they're amazingly sound fundamentally. Sapp and Wallace are also very underrated IMO. The key here, I think, is that the Bucks have to finish drives by Conley and Lewis with buckets, trips to the line, or Oden follow stuffs and limit the Hoyas second shots
. If some combination of Hunter, Lighty and Harris want to get in Jeff Green's shirt all day and keep him off the glass that would be nice too.
A tough matchup, but I was having nightmares of Hansborough having Oden on the bench for 25 minutes so I like it better than UNC. The stakes in my household are even higher than for most of us as Mrs. Jagdaddy is a Hoya.
