[NU Sports] CATS 61-59

[Roy Lamberton]

Well....

Camody's system is designed to slow down those hard running teams by playing
good defense. 

We saw that against Miami, where only one of their high scoring stars,
McClinton, actually put on a show, and he did it almost by matching Moore 3 for
3 altho Miami did rebound effectively on the offense end....

The Cats got Miami to play at their tempo, and used their 1-3-1 zone very
effectively. FWIW - the coach at Western Michigan was griping about having to
play against a 1-3-1 during a recent tourney so it will be interesting to see
how they work on it in 9 days,

I also think that while their fans won't agree, dOSU has a year to actually find
themselves and play as good as their rep. Of course they're missing their big
scoring machine who will have to play himself into shape, but there appears to
be enuff talent in Columbus to take on the world.

I just suspect that the Buck's great year will be next year...
