And that's not surprising. Oregon is a VERY good basketball team right now. You simply can't look at their stats over the entire season. Dante was not available to them for the first 10 games of the season. So that alone will impact your stats. Plus, wasn't Cousinard a transfer? I'm sure it took him some time to get acclimated just like Ashworth did.
If you throw out some of those season stats, you're looking at a much different team. Honestly, I think this is a pick 'em game.
IMO, Dante will get his points. It comes down to limiting the damage by Cousinard. And I said this earlier... we will likely play more than one guy on him (and Mac has stated that). And mixing up our ball-screen defense on him would be a good way to not let him get comfortable. But that's a mental and communication thing. Which can get tricky.
I'm gonna give the edge to us because of familiarity. I think Mac has Dana's number when it comes down to that.
