my write up from elsewhere (some may recognize)
Both teams have good defensive guard play and minimal rebounding. One and done. Both have held their opponents to a low % from the three point line. I may be guessing, but I'm also thinking both may be a bit tired coming off their last opponent, thus the legs may not be there the whole game for those outside shots. I've read Joe's plays a similar style to Memphis, so Ok St had a "prep" game for tonights showdown, albeit a weaker opponent. I can't bet Joes because I don't think they have played anyone in a while. If WF had a little more discipline, they wouldn't have turned the ball over as much and wouldn't have allowed those 2nd shots (three's) off offensive rebounds. I think Ok St has played better against better talent over their last ten. I'm probably biased against Joe's for some reason or another. I don't believe in them and haven't the whole tourney. I was impressed by the D their guards played against Wake. I think Ok St will want to control tempo and slow things down a bit here. Joe's will have to work harder than they did against the paper tiger defense of Wake. Ok St hasn't seen offensive guards with this offensive talent in a while.
