[quote='BusNative;78225;0]On L'ville:
I coached in the NYC Catholic League for a couple of years and had a chance to see Edgar Sosa play first hand more than a few times. He played for Brother Rice in Manhattan which, if you know your NYC basketball, has had its share of stars. The Rice system was so good (Curtis Kelly/UConn; Kash Pratt/Seton Hall; Russel Robinson/Kansas; etc.) that he (and Kash) were forced to play freshman ball.
My take with regards to tOSU is this: Edgar might be a small step slower than Conley (who isn't?), but he is a flat-out scorer who can get it done when called upon. He is completely solid fundamentally and is very mature for a freshman. With regards to matchups, Jamar or Conley could hang with him in a man, but if tOSU loses Edgar in the zone, he's liable to put up some numbers with a range that extends a few feet beyond the 3-point line.
I love that he's playing for Pitino, which is a system that fits him perfectly, and I expect him to eventually put up big numbers over his career.
For now, I think tOSU can handle him if they pay attention, but he can't be allowed to shoot from distance without a hand in his face (a la Lee Humphrey). [/quote]
Great game, but tough to see ES end it like that. He's got alot of great college games ahead of him. Sorry for quoting myself.

Only about 12 hours til tipoff of the most important game in UVA basketball in a very, very long time. Probably since before I was even a fan (since yesterday was the first tourney win I've seen as a UVA fan). I'm excited. I think this will be one of tomorrow's best matchups. The guards will get all the talk, but I think this is important: our starting big men, Tunji Soroye and Jason Cain, will once again be the tallest players on the floor. And Lars Mikalauskas will be the widest body.
Tennessee will try to press. I haven't seen that work on us all year. Too athletic in both the front and backcourt. I don't think they'll be able to stick with that strategy.
