    I'd rather play Kentucky. They have a super young team like Kansas. Our experience could be the deciding factor.

    bell is cool but there are guys comparable to him that are better bets at the next level (motley for example) but I wouldn't complain if we drafted him.

    If he keeps ballin like last night, he may move up the draft boards fast. You can bet he's moved into the first round after dominating the Jayhawks. He should be reachable if we are in fact looking at him. Ducks vs Gonzaga in the Final?

    I would say the majority of Duck fans are leery of both teams but think that maybe the size and experience of NC is the tougher match up. Not to say the young guards of Kentucky will be easy, but if you have to pick your poison........

    Jordan Bell is an under sized Thomas Robinson.

    Better defender. Trob does enough to not embarrass himself when switching on the perimeter, but bell actually thrives.

    Better FT shooter though. Not a bad comparison though considering how good T-Rob was at Kansas

    Trob averaged like .9 blocks his last year in college. Jordan averaged 2.2 this year. Trob total 34blks - Bell 83blks.

    Trob was a much better offensive player though. 17.7 to Bells 10.9.

    That could be true, but I think one could argue that Bell's 63% from the field vs TRob's 50% could even things out on the offensive comparison. With Oregon's other scorers, the offense is just not geared around him.

    I'm so happy for South Carolina but I always hate seeing the crying the losing team has, feel so bad... so much work, so close... yet so far away.
