Survive and Advance? Postgame Snowflakes and Tex/ASU Open Thread

Hopefully we will shoot better but TX looks like a physical team. We seem to have problems against physical teams. I think it will be close but I hope we can pull it out!

These teams seem pretty dumb.

Texas has a lot more size but also the worst coach who still makes the tourney based on talent

That was some lucky ass "pass"

Bring either of them on. Our team can lose to many teams but can also beat anyone so I'll take whoever. Any team from now on will present challenges but our team has many assets as well.

Tonight was a start and hopefully there is still a lot of time in our season. Time will tell.

Let's see 4 OTs texas ASU

Damn. We're gonna have problems boxing that dude out.

well both teams possess an issue in that they have a huge guy inside who should score 20+ = we have to be good outside.

We match up better with Texas. Thankfully they won. 

So how do we keep that big sonofabitch Ridley in check?

Now we know why Texas is so "good" at offensive rebounding.  Their shooters are so bad that their shots just clang off the backboard in unpredictable fashion, so essentially every rebound becomes a 50/50 fumble recovery.

Barnes v Beilein.  We have a massive advantage one place.

Have I mentioned that I hate Louisville?

Looks like we're gonna have to gun down Texas from long range

Just because they have big guys doesn't mean it's a bad matchup.  Amir Williams did absolutely nothing against us.  AJ Hammons did basically nothing.  Size just for size's sake isn't that much of a concern, especially when we will have a decisive coaching advantage.

Look, they are going to get offensive rebounds but keep in mind.

1. All of Texas' guards are all horrible 3 point shooters. Marshall and Gilling are knock down shooters for ASU.

2. None of Texas' guards are elite at penetration. Jahii Carson is a future pro who makes his living breaking dudes off the dribble.

3, Jermain Marshall is a PSU transfer who torched us for 25 last year in our lost to PSU 

4. Bachynski may not offensive rebound as well but he can score, is the best shot blocker in the nation (meaning GR3 and Caris struggle to finish at the rim) and is 7'2''. We saw what 7'0'' Kaminsky did to Morford. 

We will have to trade 2s for 3s with them and get out in transition when we do get rebounds but this is a much more salvagable match-up imo. 

When's the last time we played texas in bball?

Louisville is truly playing like ass. No one on their team can make any type of jumpshot. They just drive into a crowd, throw up some bullshit and hope for a call. It's like a really bad pick up game.

I think that once Beilein was comfortable that this was going to be a win, we got a little vanilla and there's a lot we didnt see tonight that we will against Texas. 

Nice flop by Louisville
