Re: Rnd 1: OHIO STATE
Bates-Diop is going to be a tough matchup for Daum. Mike will still get his 20+ points, but we need him to do it efficiently. As we saw against Gonzaga last year, he'll likely be forced to take some tougher shots. Seems like when he gets a bona fide defender on him he tends to resort towards more fade away mid-range looks. Like I said, he will still get his points, but hopefully he can get some clean looks and Otz can figure out the best way to attack Bates-Diop.
The difference will come down to Jenkins, Skyler, and Telly. Most notably, Telly should have Kaleb Wesson guarding him while Wesson is in the game. Simply put, it's a huge matchup to exploit, and Telly has to knock down shots this year. He had a million open looks against Gonzaga and was just off. Reed is going to get open looks again this year.
I think the game is going to come down to us making open shots. I firmly believe we will get our looks from 3, but we can't come out shell shocked to start the game like we did against KU. If we shoot it at the rate we did against USD last week, this game will come down the wire. At the same time, I'm weary that we will settle and get glued to the 3 point line. I don't doubt that we will be get plenty of open looks, but if they're not dropping, we need to quickly figure out ways to get the ball on the block, and hopefully Jenkins can find success getting to the rim like he did in the SLT.

Re: Rnd 1: OHIO STATE
Ohio State fan here, just coming through to try to learn as much as I can about your team before our matchup on Thursday. I hope you can see that our knowledgeable fans have a great amount of respect for not only your program but also the particular challenge you bring on Thursday. Happy to answer any questions you have about our team, but for the most part it seems you have a general understanding of our genetic makeup. The only misconception I saw was the idea you could put Daum on Kaleb Wesson to avoid foul trouble, but that is the worst match-up for hiding foul trouble, Kaleb is in the 95% percentile in FTs drawn per possession. Anyways see ya soon.

Re: Rnd 1: OHIO STATE
The Jacks need to be the aggressor on offense and go after Ohio State with the intent on getting them in foul trouble. The rub there is they need to avoid foul trouble themselves. Get the ball in to Daum where he can create around the lane, kick out to an open player for a shot, or bounce out for an open shot. We tend to force things a bit at times and it can hurt us. Be aggressive but have to play smart.
Rebounding will be a huge stat in this game. We need to win the battle on the glass.
The seeds say this would be an upset but our team has some serious chops to do this. Getting the W would not be a surprise. In fact, I love the way our team is coming into the tournament where OSU is definitely not coming in hot. What will that mean? Maybe nothing but it may help us get off to a good start. The Jacks have done that in most games this year.
This is going to be a blast! Is it Thursday yet?
SUPERBUNNYMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, BIZUN!!!
