We have a good chance in this game. They play basically a 4 guard lineup. Their center is 6'8, 230 and has done very well though. He is their leading scoring going for 14.6 pts a game in only 27.8 minutes a game.

Their lineup is...

5: 6'8, 230
4: 6'3, 200
3: 6'8, 200
2: 6'3, 214
1: 6'0, 178

Barber is a dominant center/forward.

Yes. He is a slim G/F @ 6'8, 200 (basically a slightly taller Garrett Temple). I expect Temple to cover him since he can guard someone that height still because of his long arms. He's their 2nd leading scorer.

Kevin Durant is about 6'9 and is a similar G/F type.

I know this won't happen but with the way CJ has been playing QT should start against their 6'8 230 center as he matches up much better and since CJ has been no more of an offensive threat than QT it makes sense to me.

At any rate. Tasmin Mitchell for us should have a huge game whether they use their short 4 or weak 3 to guard him.

Basketball is about matchups. We matchup well with Butler. We do not matchup well with teams with a dominant big man.

Butlers leading scorer is a 6'8 230lb F. Their second scorer is a 6'8 200lb g/f. This will tell you that this team is built from the inside out.

Butler is not built from the inside out whatsoever, they are a perimeter team. My Cleveland St vikings had no size at all and just beat them at butler and could have beat them 2 other times. This is a great matchup for LSU

He is good but not dominant. He doesn't grab 7 boards a game. Doesn't block 2+ shots a game. They rely more on depth (they tend too play 9 players a game it looks like).

He is an OUTSIDE player for the most part. He is their best 3 point shooter (44.5% from 3) and has taken the 2nd most 3 pointers on the team this year (Their SG has taken the most, by about 20 more than him).

Once again, they play a 4 guard lineup.
