Never take a victory over KU for granted.
First, Blake is too quick for the sloth footed Aldrich. Blake showed me alot in the way he played against a big guy in Pittman.
Second, this would be a game where OU would have better head-to-head matchups across the line except against Collins.
Third, it will be at home late in the season when OU is trying to stregnthen their seeding and clinch the conference.
Forth, a Willie Warren motivation game. Willie has had 4 games when his motor was running sky high, once against Stephon Curry on national TV, the NIT championship, back home in Texas against Rice, and against former best friend at Arkansas. His recruitment with KU was bittersweet with some fall out. He may go for 30 again.
OU by 15 and will probably lead by 20-25 at some point.
Yes, Aldrich is a slow-footed stiff. The fact he's now an All-Big 12 1st or 2nd team player as a sophomore shows NCHCBS is the best coach in the country.
What he's done wit Aldrich rivals the invention of the internet.

I did not know that AlGore was coaching at KU. What happened to Slick, I mean Bill Self?????
That's not Bill Self, that's NCHCBS.
NCHCBS???? Have you been rollin with the aggies??? Aldrich is the second coming of Ostertag. He will be a dunking stick for Blake. I Wouldn't be suprised if WW goes Xavier Henry on him and serves him up teabag style. Little, Taylor and Morningstar aren't going to know what hit them when Blake and the boys get at them. Austin Johnson is going to put those long arms on Collins and make him shoot 8/27 like Abrams. And yeah Grace, I've seen cement feet play. His claim to fame was outperforming Hansborough. That matchup was like watching turtles race.
Comparing Aldrich to Ostertag is just ridiculous and shows how little you know about basketball (that is if you're serious which I hope you aren't). Aldrich is playing better this year than Ostertag ever did, is much more athletic, and a way better shooter.
He is a good matchup for Blake around the basket but isn't quick enough to guard him away from there. I wouldn't be surprised to see him in early foul trouble and at that point KU is in big trouble!
Yeah, I have so little basketball knowledge, especially compared to a guy. like :ez-roll: Then you try to break down this dunking sticks game. You can't be serious. Then you try and justify this stiff being able hang with Blake? Go back and look at some old Athletes First versus Fox Valley games and see how a raw Blake did against Aldrich. I think he may have had a triple double against them. Also go to rivals and pull up some old olympic festival footage. Cole Aldrich come to an NBA injured reserve roster near you.
LOL, you are a joke dude. Everyone in the country knows that Blake is better than Aldrich. That isn't up for debate. But that doesn't make Aldrich a stiff, unless being a stiff means 15 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Yeah, he's a real loser! HAHAHA!
Who cares what they did in HS? I didn't know we were talking about HS. All that matters is how they are playing now. Aldrich is playing at a really high level and has improved a ton. Blake is by far the best player in the country. It should be a great matchup.
Also, as you and I are arguing on a message board Greg Ostertag is enjoying the $48 million that he made in the league!
15pts 10rbs 3bks, sounds like Ostertag's last year at KU. Jerry Sloan is breaking down Aldrich film as we speak. Man, Aldrich is going to single handedly boost NBA poster sales. And yes, I'm aware Ostertag had a long NBA career, which is why I made the comparison. If I thought he were a total stiff, I would have called him Chenowith.
He will always be 'Slick' to me. My daughter's basketball coach was at OSU when Self was and he called him Slick. It wasn't a term of endearment.
