Wasn't so true with Cook or Mullens.se-alum;1086901 wrote:I don't think it's something Dakich personally believes in, but it's definitely true.
When you are at a top school with talent across the board, competition where they are all talented. You better do something to seperate yourself from the others. Most top players have the offensive skill. What they lack is typically above the shoulders which translates to what happens on the defensive end.
Matta has to recruit more slow, soft very good 3-pointshooters.FatHobbit;1086511 wrote:I agree with that as well. This team is not as good as last years team.
Ross has made .250 of his 3-poiters in mop up minutes. This year he would shoot a lower percentage than that when the game is on the line. At this time I can't even imagine him guarding a 1st string 3 or 4 on a good Big Ten team.Y-Town Steelhound;1086470 wrote:Apparently LaQuinton Ross is not very happy to say the least about his playing time and took his frustrations out on Twitter after the game (since been deleted). Can't say I blame him given OSU's lack of a consistent 3 point threat.
Ravenel averages more rebounds per minute than anyone on the team. Shoots 55% from the field and 67% from the foul line and defends better. The only thing Williams does well is blocking shots, he has 19 in limited minutes compared to Sullinger's 20.LJ;1086459 wrote:I highly agree with playing Williams over Ravenel. I just fail to see what kind of advantage Ravenel adds over Williams.
Williams averages more rebounds per minute, shoots a slightly better percentage, and turns the ball over WAY less.Big Gain;1087858 wrote:Ravenel averages more rebounds per minute than anyone on the team.

2 fouls in 5 minutes at Minn
2 fouls in 8 minutes vs MSU
2 fouls in 12 min vs Purdue
just as an example
Didn't work with Mullens, lol lol.ytownfootball;1087923 wrote:The conspiracy theorist in me says Matta does't play Williams more because Matta wants him to return and play next season cuz he knows Sully is gone.
With a lead yeah, but if Sully needs to come out in a close game, I would rather see Williams come in. at least being an athletic 7 footer he can rebound, play D and maybe score a few points. Ravenel is just gonna get a rebound, turn the ball over, then foul.ytownfootball;1087927 wrote:I don't mind Rav spelling for a blow with a lead (10+) but he's not an option for anything else.
