Like you said, Memphis was one of those teams where you didn't know how good they were because of their schedule. Even when they beat Texas A$M it was hard to judge them. They did OK but OSU put the pressure D on them and hit some outside shots. I knew they were toast when the ref called an intentional foul on Memphis underneath on a foul on Oden. Ridiculous.

OSU does a couple things well. One is extend their defense. They drive and extend to the basket well. Especially Conley. They shoot clutch 3 pointers.

The announcers keep gushing over Oden. He simply isn't that good. I can't imagine him doing anything but warming the bench for a few years in the NBA. He's no Shaq, Dukimbe Mutombo, Yao,
Mourning, Jermaine O'neal, Amare Stodamire, Garnett etc. never will be close. He's 19 but looks like he's 35. I'd take Durant in the draft over him. He'll likely be a bust.

Florida has three guys better than Oden on the front line. They took care of OSU easily early in the season.
UNC has a couple. GTown has Hibbert...about the equal of Oden IMHO.

I wish GTown luck over UNC. But UNC comes in waves. GTown will have to slow it down.
