Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 4239119, member: 1329"] I think this is #1. Would like to avoid a team that has 5 shooters, especially one that can defend and board the interior at the same time (Nova/Creighton/Maryland type). In general, would love a team with a weak interior D so Sanogo can get back on track. South Dakota St... I Think we could limit and outscore them, but that's an interesting matchup. They play 4 shooters, have an atrocious defense, but their one okay thing on D is defensive rebounding. Would be a contest of if they're okay defensive rebounding can hold up or are they just not able to defend any facet of our offense. 4 42%+ shooters on the court at the same time is terrifying though. UAB shoots it accurately, but doesn't actually take many, only start 2 shooters. Their defense is pretty mediocre all around. This seems like a good matchup for us. I think we'd eat Rutgers alive. We're a better vesion of them. They go for blocks instead of rebounds, but aren't even that effective. [U]Notre Dame is probably the landmine matchup[/U]. 5 shooters on offense, good defensive rebounding, no fouling. Maybe Sanogo can eat, but we'd have to outscore them while trading 2 for 3. Wyoming has 2 3/4 shooters. They draw fouls, a little similar to Providence. We could probably grind them out. Texas A&M has only 2 shooters. Also a litlte similar to Providence, with a bit of Marquette on defense. We'd kill them on the boards. Seems like an okay matchup, but they're hot lately. Michigan/Indiana are clearly better teams than the others on this list, so it would suck if we got them. Indiana has a good interior D, so that would be a war down low. Michigan is surprisingly bad interior D despite Dickinson. Think it would be okay. [/QUOTE]
