      I figured they would separate the two local teams (UNLV and Zona). Arizona should be a more favorable matchup than Michigan. I'm not sure how well Mo Udeze would stack up against Hunter Dickinson.

          Feels like a great time to get Arizona too. New coach, they aren't really bringing in a ton (lower ranked recruiting class than us) and lost quite few from last year. We should be the better prepared and likely talented team.

              I think it's more likely they want a championship game of Arizona vs Michigan, but your scenario makes sense too. Both work for them either way.

                    I think Mo would match up well, but if not, WSU could take advantage with a big whose pick-n-pop skills have been used to exploit Dickinson's perimeter maladroitness in the past: Kenny Pohto.

                    Michigan's 6-7 to 6-8 'small' forwards are who would worry me. But, I think we have a couple who could match up there.

                        RefChick and Yours Truly making plans for Vegas in November. Always a good time to watch some Shocker basketball and frequent The Strip.
                        Nothing could go wrong there, right?

                        That is all.
                        Above all, make the right call.

                                That was 15 seasons and 2 coaches ago.

                                Life is short, enjoy the ride. It’s always special to follow the Shocks on the road.
