I see a lot of similarities between the matchups, but Thabeet is a lot better than Hibbert.

I will agree with you only that Thabeet is better than Hibert. But i do not agree with you on the similarites of this matchup. You are basing this off one road game against GTOWN. Do you not think ND will make adjustments and be better prepared this time? They know what there going to get inside. Thats fine let these guys have all they want inside. If they slow down price which i believe they will this will be a great game. I will not be surprised if Harongody just abuses these guys tomorrow and gets them in foul trouble early. i am not going to sit here and argue you with you on this. Because i will go all night. BOL on the HUSKIES tomorrow.

You telling me right now this deep into the season that there going to get beat by 19. I dont think so bud. The top teams in the country have found there groove and games this late in the season in conf. play are going to be a lot tighter between your top tier teams. Teams are battling for postion for the conf. tourney and ND has a great shot at with the regular season conf. title. So why would they fall flat on there faces tonight?

 

Bird......UCONN has revenge on their mind from getting beat earlier in the season at Notre Dame. Uconn is better than they were back then and now come back home to play Notre Dame. They got beat by Marq by 26 and at G-town by 19 as they have not been out on the road besides those 2 games. Marquette really could have beat them again Saturday as they stole the ball with less than 30 seconds to go down by 1 but turned the ball over. I really dont think that Marquette is that good but they impressed me with the way they came back and looked like a team Saturday. U cant overlook how they have been BLOWN OUT on the road. Uconn is just as much in the Big East race as Notre Dame is.......Good Luck with your plays

I am just playing Devils advocate

PAPI i understand where you coming from with this. But i just dont see a blowout tomorrow. I believe UCONN will win but i do not think there going to just flatten this team with the CONF. title is up for grabs. They also could have been thinking in the back of heads in MARQ game late in the 2nd half they had UCONN up next. ND will play with some passion tomorrow and they have a great opportunity to keep moving forward in the right direction for a reg. season conf. title. I believe we will see a different road team tonight. Just my opinion i will stick with it just like i have stuck with them all year.

Thabeet has proven as the year has progressed this year he is better than Hibbert.

I may add that I think the officiating will be similar to that in the KS/TX game.

GL bird, the more I look into the Duke/Maryland game the more I'm loving Duke tomorrow. As you probably know I've been harder on this Duke team so far this year than anybody, but they took care of them on the road after a shaky 1st H, and Cameron is not an easy place to play. All it takes is a couple of early turnovers by Maryland and a good shooting performance by Duke and this game could get ugly.

Yea I dont believe that either.....Thabeet can not shoot at all. He is just a big guy that blocks shots and rebounds and scores a layup every now and then.....Hibbert can actually knock down a 10 footer

Trust me its better than you think! You will probably hit everyone haha! Hit my AF play last night just get my head barely over the water for the last 3 days. Thought i was going to drown by the end of the week. So hopefully this gets me going. We will see though!

 

Ok! you guys are going to sit here and tell me Thabeet has not even improved this year. This year alone of Thabeet is better than hibberts 4 years of playing at GTOWN. Hibbert is by far one of the most overrated slow footed big man i have ever seen. I cant believe how much hype this guy has gotten in the last 2 years and he wouldn't have been a lottery pick last year IMO. I am trying to figure out how he is going to bang inside next year with the big boys.

Thabeet has vastly improved....He is a monster on the Defensive end......When you are 7'3 you dont have to bang with the big boys.....All Thabeet can do is make layups and dunks....But is a LOT better on the Defensive end

Very true PAPI! Hibbert is a much better offensive scorer but it amazes me how guy who could barely shoot 50% last from the line is now close to what 70%. So it shows that Thabeet is evolving is offensive game slowly and the potential is there to be a big time player at the next level.
