If Oden leaves, Ohio State will face a serious matchup problem with Hansborough, especially with Koufos needing to take time getting acclimated.

I don't think Hansborough will necessarily be that much of a factor - Koufos will not match up against TH which will probably free him up to play help defense and go after his shots. We will have Hunter, Twigs, Madsen and, if necessary EW and DL to throw bodies at TH, so I think he can be neutralized.

If Conley leaves, Tywon Lawson is the real matchup problem. No one but Conley is as fast as he is. Hopefully Lighty or Turner can use their height advantages to neutralize his speed.

The only real matchup problem they will cause for us next year would be BWright if he were to stay...

Butler will guard Lawson, Lighty will match up with Ellington...

But what does that have to do with anything? UVA shared the ACC regular season crown with UNC. Northwestern shared the Big Ten toilet with Penn State. I was hoping for an even matchup. Indiana, maybe? Michigan State? Wisconsin? We've got unfinished business with MSU because the last time the two teams played, the game was called because of the slippery floor.

- BC will wipe the court with scUM at the Breslin center...

At the what?

Better chance of selling out Breslin than Crisler.

"I was definitely torn in my decision," the freshman said Monday during a news conference. "There are so many positives and negatives in me entering the draft. But I feel like the positives outweigh the negatives."
