[NU Sports] CATS 61-59

[Jeff Beamsley]

I think that the challenge is going to be keeping that team together and out
of trouble.  If they get the sort of attention that they are likely to get
this year, some of those young guys may decide that they are ready to move
on.

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...
