He's more of a poor man's Andre Miller type.  Miller had more range.  Magic was 6-9 and an anomaly. 

I’m only referencing the back to the basket and back a guy down from the top of the key. I’m not making general statements of similarity.

If you let them shoot wide open 3s all day, yeah. Corpses could have defended better than A&M did tonight.

Texas will defend that line a lot better.

Texas has quicker guards, inside game and I think if they go inside, can get Penn St in foul trouble early and often.  If Texas tries to match 3s, they're in for a long night.  I just hope Texas also doesn't turn the ball over with sloppy passes and miss communications.  Protect the ball, board, run the floor, and go to their inside advantages and they should be all right.

You don't try and match 3s against PSU. You defend theirs and pound the ball inside as they have no interior presence. A/M had the right idea for about 120 seconds tonight on the offensive end with Marble at the very beginning of the game. Texas should be doing the same Saturday night.

I don't worry about PSU shooting 60% from 3 against Texas. I expect it to be about 1/2 that. maybe.
