Zuby is good but hes not some superstar who going to dominate either johnson or reed. Will be a pretty even matchup.

I actually sort of agree with this. Johnson and Reed split the game at center and average 18 points 10 rebounds and 3 blocks between them. I don’t see this position as a mismatch for us although give us the edge. I do think Smith will give Diarra fits though.

I think Reed is much better than Johnson, and I find it perplexing Hurley isn’t counting on him more.
Hurley being loyal to Sampson to a fault.

The last time we predicted smith would give someone fits it didnt go so well.
Was gonna post the same.
Legit Uconn fans beg to differ.
Boneyard has Diarra’s ears ringing the way he closed out the Gtown game.
I literally exited out of sports-reference and went to espn since I couldn’t believe it. Samson Johnson averages 2.7 rebounds in 18 minutes per game?? He literally averages more fouls than rebounds!!!
Love when the eye test meets stats. Zuby will eat him for lunch if Hurley doesn’t make an adjustment to Reed.

Struggles defensively. But the much better rebounder and scorer.

As we all know football drives these decisions, but this still could work by creating more value for basketball.
Yeah, it'd be like 30 teams, but right now it's really hard to compete for national attention at 11 teams when the other conferences have 20+. Big 10 and SEC this year could earm 3-4X as many bids as we do. So, from the Big East's perspective, you'd much rather grow by expanding with proven Power schools than A10 schools.
How could this create more value for the ACC? First you'd have renewed regional rivalries. To maximize the TV and ticket value have St. John's, UConn, Georgetown, and Villanova play old BE schools like Syracuse, Louisville, and Pittsburgh 2X per year, and 1X or 0X per year against southern/western teams like SMU or Wake Forest. Also, the best BE teams against the elite southern basketball schools such as Duke and UNC would also be must see TV. Then of course you'd have the massive MSG Tournament, which arguably would be the biggest in all of college basketball. Much better than any arena the ACC currently hosts theirs at.
I don't think it'll happen, but I do hope both the Big East and ACC consider this. It'd absolutely be a way for the ACC to remain elite in college basketball at least, while not needing to dilute their football with crappy programs (besides UConn). Like it or not college athletics have changed and anyone not in the Big Ten or SEC needs to start banding together in order to compete at the highest level.
Diarra is not a PG but apparently they have to play him as one. It can work but it is a job in progress.
