Sure, but Khalifa also played really well on offense. Just gotta outscore em

Atiki is a decent defender against more athletic bigs.

how can it be the same offense when the 5 is in a completely different spot

We did more than just ok, and we didn’t have AAA either. Their bigs are soft.

I think the surprise factor is more concerning to me than the matchup

Khalifa won us that game. NCSUs Center was a beast but only able to get down low

What's wrong with that? Would you have rather BYU not did okay?

I’m glad the matchup worked, not sure we’re top 25 like CB seems to think

How is 70% shooting and 16 points 7 rebounds and 4 assists a favorable matchup for us? Dude stuffed the stat sheet. I

Look at their bench. They coulda gone small on us if they wanted.

Really good. I only saw a little bit the night before and he just doesn't look like a baller. He is for sure a baller.

I do think he missed those 2 front-ends of one-n-ones late cuz he was dead tired

SinkingQuffa

For sure. Waterman is hard for a big guy to guard. He moves around a lot and Khalifa is just good. Sneaky good and when

I think Fous and Atiki make a noticeable difference on defense and boards.

That “fatty” went off for 16 and 7. We won in spite of him, not because of him
