Derby Trail Live: Saturday 3/24

KU wants up tempo. They thrive on this. UCLA does a great job at denying this.

SIU had a chance because they play that tough D. With a little more efficiency on offense (fewer turnovers, take a little more time off the clock/ turn down that decent shot to get a good shot 12 seconds later) they would have won.

UCLA plays just this game.

Scavs ealier in the year you told me how Kansas was so much better than SIU. Thats because you just watched Kansas play a team that tried to out ball them. I believe you said something to the effect that Kansas would kill them. So much of these NCAA's is about style matchups, and luck of course. I watched Kansas all year and they have very difficult time against patient teams on offense that play good D.

I personally will be very interested to see Memphis against Ohio ST. I have come to believe Oden may not really like basketball that much, he is just good at it. I will be watching that body language and actions on the bench. I just got to see a lot of highlights of him with a few whole games. Now after getting a close look at him I am having some doubts.
