Arizona will shock people and destroy them...Zona has 3 great players none of which St. can guard IMO.

Arizona is a tough matchup for Cleveland state. They basically play 4 guards, even though J'Nathan Bullock is considered a forward (he's only 6'5). Buddinger will be a nightmare.
However, I give Cleveland state the edge on athleticism. If they push the ball and spread Arizona out, they have a chance.

Didn't catch this before the game, but would have picked Arizona due to pure bias for my alma mater. :)

Cleveland St. going cold from 3 pt range gave Arizona a chance to build a comfortable lead to sit on. On paper if I recall, they weren't that great of a 3 point shooting team during the regular season, so I was shocked when they took so many outside shots. But they did make a decent # in the Wake game. I figured they would go in the paint and really try to expose Arizona's lack of depth.

As a result of the missed shots, the extra points/possessions Arizona got were able to weather the Vikings' 2nd half run when U of A was stuck in foul trouble. I have a lot of respect for that Cleveland St. team, they played a solid game out there despite the bad luck behind the arc. As for the Cats, they found yet another way to survive and move on.
