I'm pretty sure we would beat any team ranked ahead of us on our home court. Not sure about a neutral court, but I'd like our chances. I think we would beat Alabama on their court.
None of those teams scare me
I watched Purdue yesterday and Edey is overwhelming
I didn't know anything about this guy and I looked up some of his highlights. He seems pretty dominant. What was the last team to win a natty led (to a large degree) by the play of a true center?
Is Anthony Davis a true center?
Sure, but he faced up quite a bit in college. I think sandstone is talking about a true back to the basket 80s & 90s big. I truly don't know the answer to that question. I do know the last big, like Edey to win MOP was Emeka Okafor. I don't remember that team good enough to know if he was far and away the best player though.
Ben Gordon was an absolute beast that year too. He was their leading scorer. Got drafted the pick after Okafor. And they weirdly had a shitload of really good young bigs backing Okafor up/playing around him. Charlie Villanueva, Josh Boone and Hilton Armstrong. All 6-10 or taller and all first rounders. Crazy.
