Am I right in thinking that since we are in Boise our game will be later in the day? They can't start a game in Boise at 12 or 1 ET can they?

This will be a tough game. The good news is they know it will, so they won’t get caught by surprise.

looks like their key player is a 6'9" and 250 guy. averages 24 and 10.5.

21 and 11 versus ku
31 and 6 versus wichita st

sdsu doesn't turn over the ball and doesn't cause turnovers.

#1 (nationally) in turnover offense
#347 in turnover defense

That's good for us. I assumed they would be a bunch of white guys jacking ups 3s

Win this game. Anything else is gravy. We're not "supposed" to beat the 4 seed and we already lost to them earlier.

But don't get bounced by the Jackrabbits.

God dammit they shoot 40% from 3 and that big 6'9 guy shoots 42% with 91 makes. Hopefully we put KBD on him and throw him off

Hate to say it, but if I wasn't a Buckeye I'd be all over this 12-5 upset pick.

Then again, my bracket weakness is picking too many upsets.

watched some daum highlights. he plays like a heftier version of riley battin. not the type of player you want kaleb guarding. probably will see plenty of kbd, potter, and young rotations onto him.

Been following this team the last couple years Mike Daum is the real deal. Hate that we have to play against this team but no matter who we played as a 5/12 was going to be similar situation.

yeah, i think osu would be a good upset pick regardless of the 12. my hope is that cj and kam prove to be outside threats.

So, you're telling me OSU's best player, who has been struggling with his jumper, will likely spend time defending their best inside/out player who has 15lbs on him. Cool.
