I'm still bitter about Arizona from 2011 when they beat Duke to ruin the possible back 2 back. They were on absolute fire that night and if I remember correctly it was indeed a game played out West in California...
Iowa State's guards were trouble because they could all fill it up from 3. Arizona can hit the 3, but it's not near as big a part of their offense as it is for Iowa State. 'Zona is a more regular opponent so I think Craft will be stuck like glue to Lyons which as long as he doesn't get in foul trouble I think he makes it a long night for Lyons. Arizona has length so the biggest problem against them will be somewhat the same as it was against Iowa State, which is to limit their offensive rebounds and second chance points. Iowa State outrebounded Ohio State by 15 and had 12 offensive rebounds to Ohio State's 2. If it's even close to that tonight Ohio State will be coming back to Columbus. Limit second chance opportunities and Mark Lyons' scoring and I feel good about Ohio State's chances to reach the elite 8.
