    Right now UConn is the team to beat. None of the other 3 teams have anyone that can shut down Thabeet.
    Dont let Thabeet dunk the ball and he doesnt have much else besides a streaky hook shot. The real players teams need to account for are Adrien and Price.

    If UNC were to meet UCONN then Thabeet would probably start on Hansbrough and he could bring him away from the rim with some 15-17ft jumpers to make room for Davis / Thompson.

      Final 4! Now hopefully it'll be a better performance there than last time.

          How is the stadium going to be done?

          Are they gonna put the stadium in a corner of Ford Field, or are they gonna use the entire thing like this

              I don't think it'll be that wide of a margin, I think UConn will win by 5-7 points. We don't try to force the tempo like every previous Calhoun team. We pretty much play the same tempo as you guys and Suton will create an interesting match up for us. I assume Adrien will start on him so Thabeet can stay home and we'll hope he isn't on fire from 15+ feet like he was today. It will be a grind it out game, hopefully we can control the paint on both ends of the floor - when we do that we win. I hope like most teams who face Thabeet for the first time MSU will be a little awkward and unsure of themselves in the paint.

              I am feeling good about our guard match ups though, the bigger defenders Purdue and Mizzou put on Price bothered him a little bit (even though he still won Regional MVP, hehe) but MSU doesn't have a 6'5 guy to put on AJ.

              Also doesn't help that it's a home game for MSU, gonna be a crazy crowd. That isn't such a bad thing though, UConn plays better in a hostile environment for some reason.

              I think the bottom line is that we are a more athletic version of MSU with a 7'3 shot blocker. Hopefully that's enough to keep our perfect Final Four record in tact. Good luck to the Spartys!

                If the UConn/UNC meet in the finals Adrien will definitely be guarding Hansbrough.

                  Personally I think the "home crowd" aspect is being overblown. MSU will have a psychological edge because it's in Detroit, but when it comes to the actual crowd, I don't think it'll be that much of a difference.

                    Certainly didn't help Louisville today.

                      Your Hansbrough hate is blinding common sense.
                      I never said Hansbrough flat out sucked. I said he was vastly overrated and he couldn't hold Blake's jock. I think both of those statements are true.

                      There is a reason Hansbrough has stayed in college four years at UNC. If he was of the Caliber of Durant, Oden, Beasly, Carmelo, or even Griffin, he would have already went pro.

                      Just because he stayed in school four years and racked up statistics, it doesn't make him god. He has had great talent around him at Carolina through the years which has helped him tremendously.

                      Saying Hansbrough shouldn't start for Carolina was more of a tribute to UNC then it was a shot at Hansbrough.

                        I would agree. Griffin is a far greater player than Hansbrough.

                          The way the two players in this tournament Blake Griffin is the best player in America while Hansbrough is the third best player on his own team behind Lawson and Ellington.

                              If you can find the layout from the Mich St/UNC game earlier this season, you'll see the plans.
