This is kinda incomprehensible. All Sampson is is a big. Thank goodness he doesn’t think he’s anything else, like this Osabor dude. Danny would nail him to the bench.
The point you were responding to was about playing into their strengths on the offensive end. But that aside, Samson is absolutely a big defensively. He's not a very good post defender, but he’s a big. I’m thoroughly confused by the distinction you’re trying to make here.
That’s what I meant he’s a 4 playing 5 position. So the point I’m trying to make is if you go double bigs Clingan guards Edey obviously and Sampson would shadow getting into his passing lanes and cut off his vision. Offensively you have Clingan play the top of the key drawing Edey out of the paint and Johnson stays in paint for alley ooops.
Purdue’s other forwards shoot 36% and 47% from 3. Samson as a second big would be glued to the weakside corner on defense. They wouldn’t let him anywhere near Edey.
Utah state bad. No size to counter Purdue..not just Edey. They can’t shoot either
No joking. I left the TV at halftime to go do some of my office work. I am so glad I did. As another poster here said, Grambling, a #16 put up a better game than #9 seeded Utah State.
The selection committee must be somewhat beyond their understanding. Let’s go 6-0 as a conference!! Up to our boys now to make that happen.
He didn’t handle this well. It really seemed like there was no plan.
Utah State is an 8 seed.
