Q: What is Bourbon Streets most popular festival?
THE MORNING BREW
A: Mardi Gras
Self's strategies against Sullinger
When Ohio State coach Thad Matta and his coaching staff decided to sit forward Jared
Sullinger out because of an injury in their Dec. 10 matchup with the Jayhawks, no one would have guessed that they would be giving up a preview of the national semifinals matchup.
But what we did miss out on was the opportunity to peer into the mind of Self and see how he would have defended a team that is normally led by one player: Sullinger.
Honestly, while the addition of the 6-foot-9-inch, two-time All-American forward would undoubtedly have provided a boost for the Buckeyes that day in December, I don't think Sullinger would be enough to overcome the 16,000 cheerle fans that tacked the Fieldhouse.
Ohio State is no North Carolina or Kentucky, both having multiple players expected to be drafted as lottery picks in the upcoming NBA draft. Aside from Sullinger,
the only other player nibadraft.net predicts being drafted from the Buckeyes is guard William Buford, and he is not expected to be drafted until the second round.
Self will have options as to who he wants to have guard Sullinger. With Sullinger being the tallest player in the Buckeyes starting five, Self could employ 7-foot center Jeff Withey to guard him.
Withey has greatly improved since the two teams last met — he only scored two points in that matchup— but has since
evolved into a shot-blocking machine and was named defensive player of the year.
While it makes sense for the lav Hawkes to defend the Buckeyes' tallest player on the floor with their tallest player, one of the flaws with this approach is that Withey is not as strong as the shorter Sullinger. Withey will yield 30 pounds in that matchup.
While forward Thomas Robinson would also be giving up a serious weight advantage to Sullinger, he is a much stronger player, and could be more effective neutralizing Sullinger on the defensive boards; preventing second chance opportunities for the Buckees.
This would also place Withey on the much smaller Daunha Thomas, Thomas, only 6-foot-7-inches, would be giving up serious height to the taller, longer, Withey, and I would find it hard to imagine Matta using Thomas to guard Withey when the Javahaws have the ball.
But one reason why Self might shy away from placing Withey on Thomas is that
Thomas has made the second most three pointers for Buckeyes and Withey has struggled at times when teams have brought him away from the basket on defense.
I believe Self will have Withe start out on Sullinger, and Robinson on Thomas, but don't be surprised to see Jayhawk forward Kevin Young in the mix. Young had his breakout game the last time these two teams met, playing 24 minutes and scoring 14 points.
And while Robinson has had the better season, we will finally have the answer to the debate as to who the better player is between Robinson and Sullinger come Saturday night in New Orleans.
