Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5218297, member: 1268"] Funny with Houston, because if you look at them man for man, I think we matchup just fine. This would be a Tarris game. [B]Tarris - Roberts [/B]- Roberts is a dog, but he's a 6'8" 235 to Tarris at 6'10" 260-265. [B]AK - Tuggler[/B] - Tuggler same size as Roberts so has some length and girth on AK, but he is no offensive threat and AK can space him. [B]Hassan - LJ Cryer[/B] - Cryer is a small guard but shoots the 3 ball lights out across a series of ways, step backs, etc. Hassan being healthy and in his shirt would be huge if we wanted a chance as he makes them go offensively. [B]Liam - Sharp[/B] - Sharp is another 3 point specialist but only 6'3", kind of guy you play at the line and Liam would have a massive height advantage [B]Solo - Uzhan[/B] - Uzhan is a nice player, 6"4" transfer out of OU, but not nearly as physical as the other guards, I could see Solo being just fine on him. They're not particularly deep either. I'd argue we are the more talented team. I know they out-tough everyone and pressure the ball, but this is not a StJ that has a matchup nightmares in Kadari and crazy athletes like D Smith & Luis. Offensively they generally live by the 3pt shot. They lost ALL of their major OOC matchups, Auburn, Bama, SDSU and beat up on what I saw as a really weak and overrated Big12. If we do end up on an 8, are lined up with them, might be good to see StJ in the final as a warm up. They are the 1 seed I'd prefer as I find them to be the weakest talent wise and most one dimensional. Punch them back on their pressure early and you can hang pretty easily with this team. Florida, Duke & Auburn are all much more talented, Houston is just gritty. [/QUOTE]
