Starting last Sunday vs Utah, OSU plays the most talented post players on their schedule during these 5 games. Against a inside out big like Huff, who offensively is very similar to Alana Smith of Stanford the Beavs defended with a good deal of Zone as well as a switching all ball screens man to man depending on the personal. Anigwe of Cal is more of a back to the basket big, and then Ruthy is most effective in the Pick and Roll.
If you were coaching OSU how would you counter this? How will OSU counter? Look forward to hearing peoples thoughts.

If Maddie is 100%, it isn't going to be a problem. Her defensive technique more than compensates for her lack of height. I'm not saying that she'll shut Anigwe down, but she'll keep all these girls to below their averages. And if Jo keeps improving at the rate we've seen over the last month, we may do much better than that.

Jo is really coming on.
That would be heightened if Janessa could also start collecting some minutes soon. I noticed her hand was minimally taped Sunday. If nothing else, adding a player to the rotation extends the ability to foul a few times.
It would also allow Taya to return to the “4” full time

Word is, Janessa will not be available for the Bay Area trip.  |
