    Paulus is very very quick off the dribble. And yes Williams is that much better than baby. Do you not watch the shot fakes that McRoberts does, TT will go after those. Duke not as good...Yea winning the ACC is not to good...yawn

    Your basketball knowledge is as bad as your English. Have you seen Duke play this year? They have lots of problems with quick, athletic big men. Guess what our strength is. I'm not saying we'll walk in there and the Blue Devils will roll over, but we'd have a shot. As for Reddick, it's like a coin flip. If he's on fire, the Dukies win. It's as simple as that. When he's off the mark he puts them in a tough situation. Because he shoots so much, whether he's making them or not, a bad night results in lots of wasted possessions.

    Don't give me that Coach K will confuse the hell out of Brady crap either. Duke runs a very simplistic offense that on its players executing every time down the court. Nothing fancy. We'll have to do a good deal of switching in our perimeter defense. On defense they come with an aggressive man-to-man. Because they don't have the athletic guards that they've had in the past, it hasn't been as effective as usual.

    We can play with Duke. We just have to get there.

    Where can LSU find one of thiose. Big Baby is not as athletic as you think. Neither is his quickness.

    Reddick goes down with a high ankle sprain in round one...Not a problem.

    Have you done the tests? You alone are the keeper of Big Baby's true athletic ability? What a joke. Just because he can't jump doesn't mean he isn't athletic. He's incredibly quick and has outstanding footwork. Rumor has that Tyrus has a little bit of athletic ability as well. We'll withhold judment until you get your results back. Stick to golf.

    Why is it that Big Baby is always on the floor? His feet are to quick for his body. Anyone who is like this is clumsy. He is not athletic, period.

    But thanks for TRYING to prove me wrong. That took heart.

    Good job, you got something right. He will own Iona. But then you have to look at what he does against a 2-3. NOTHING

    Against the 2-3 he does the thing in which he is best, offensive rebounds and put backs. all zone defenses are weak on rebounding, and if the 3's arent falling for the perimeter players then big baby is getting the put backs.

    p.s. you have to be at least a little bit athletic to be as good as he is. a fat kid cant just be all SEC because takes up space.

    while lsu could beat duke, and duke is weaker than past years as a 1 seed, its quite a stretch to think lsu would have a good chance of winning. lsu has beaten 1 solid team, tennessee-and they are a gimmick that has been solved.

    while shelden williams gets too much credit, he is still very good. smart, big and athletic enough. gd would have huge problems with his normal post moves. and the way that guys have been getting open off of double screens against lsu lately, jj would go off.

    would love to see that game though. i think it will happen.
