And I believe the exact same poster said the exact same thing, that I didn't watch any Arizona basketball, the last time I criticized his team in 2013. In fact I watched them play at least six times this year including their last two conference tournament games, the home game with UCLA and road game at Utah. I saw the highlights of their loss to Oregon St, just allowed a lot of dribble drives and a handful of open 3s en route to losing that game. Of course the Arizona State loss is the only one they had since the beginning of February.
All that being said, as I said before I believe Arizona will win the game. They are #2 in rebounding margin in the NCAA, while they don't have much of a height advantage on OSU in my opinion (2-3 inches at a couple spots basically) they clearly are a stronger rebounding team statistically. Their offense can be choppy, they rely on McConnell driving the lane and dishing (he doesn't usually look to score), if you can just keep him out of the lane and make the other players create shots for themselves in the halfcourt then their offense is not so hot. Defensively, I believe spreading them out and driving the ball is what you need to do against their D, easier said than done obviously.
