[Oskee] Hello NCAA

[Phil Kaufmann]

This isn't really Weber's style, but with the long layoff, and the different look Ohio st and turner present, and b/c it could be tough to sustain the momentum of the last two games, does he put in some kind of special box and one, or always double Turner defense this week?

I don't think that he would, plus the freshman are just now learning how to play defense as he likes, but it might break things up about. Especially if the team is feeling pressure to win.

I was wondering about that as well.  The nice thing is having won our last 2 incredibly tough games, there are scenarios where we could get swept by OSU and still be in good shape, especially with a decent showing in the BTT.  But I'm not ready to concede a loss to them at home yet, especially with us riding a wave of confidence going in.  I kinda wish we didn't have so many days off in-between, though.

Our interior defense was just STIFLING last night, especially in the second half.  Easily the best performance I can remember in quite some time.  I don't know that we get all the credit for their shooting going ice-cold, but we definitely made it very hard for them to get any open shots.  Turner is clearly a superstar, but if we can lock down on him like that and at least contain him, we've got the offensive horsepower to keep up.

Davis did get rebounds last night, so that at least has improved a little.

I don't sign off on the NCAA yet, but following up MSU with a win on the road at the third toughest home court in the country is big. If the NCAA looks at our last 10 we're right there. We're still not getting much from Davis. Haven't heard injury but he seems out of it. I'm hoping the shots continue to fall for McCamey. We beat Purdue at home and we're in.
