Gotta agree with the Guttle. Those BYU games are brutal. Just ask Jeff Bzdelik, the AFA Head Coach. He's in the nit, because of those guys. BYU takes 18 y.o.'s, wait a year and send them on a mission and you can have 21-22 y.o. RS Freshman. Some of the seniors have empty scalps and full families courtside. They get tired, they just run out a new crew of sharpshooters. The X-men by ten.
BYU got badly underseeded. I like Xavier, but they got a poor draw. BYU to me is tough enough to annoy Ohio St. and give them a tougher game than they should have in the second round.
Durant has insane NBA skills -- dribble drive, inside moves, fadeaway jumpers, and excellent 3-point range. His height and long arms make him a fantastic shot blocker.
Oden is big.

Too true. Saw them tear the wings off of my beloved AFA Cadets/Zoomies. When they get hot outside, they can sling man-hole covers into the hoop. X-Men still by ten. If not, OSU still beats BYU by at least a dozen.Originally Posted by Danny Serafini
Good point fargo. I'd watch out for byu. They marched over Colorado State, beat Wyoming and TCU. I don't even know where Xavier is, but I am for them.
Xavier is in Cincinnati, so you'll have plenty of company cheering for them on this board.
Depends on who's picking first.
Personally, I think Oden goes number one if he comes out. Whether or not he comes out, I think, is based on which team wins the lottery. If it's say...Boston, I think he comes out. If it's a team like Orlando, Denver, etc., he may decide to stay another year.
For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.
I think Durant is a marvelous player, but that statement understates dramatically the talent and skills Oden has. He is incredibly athletic, is a incredible shotblocker, and has developed already an offensive game far superior to most any acclaimed big man in NBA at the same point in their careers. I don't know whether that makes him a better player or not - that's kinda like asking me if I like pizza or beer better! - but Oden is far more than "just big".
