Interesting info in this article about the DEFENSIVE contribution of Isaac Haas. All I've seen is how superior AJ is over Isaac on the defensive end. Maybe need to look at more than blocked shots as a gauge for effectiveness defensively. Just saying!

Could it be that AJ has been beneficial for Isaac on Defense as much as Isaac has been for AJ on offense? Love this two headed attack this year!! BTFU

I love AJ coming in after the other teams front court players have had to deal with Haas. They get worn down and AJ eats them alive. Say they get into foul trouble. Now AJ gets to kill backups. But even when Haas was in foul trouble(Pitt) he showed why he might be the best center in college basketball.

That's really interesting. Also interesting (much more so) is that amazingly epic awesome poster that someone made.

I think it's a good article to a point. Wish they would have mentioned that our bench scores almost as much as our starters. 10 deep team. Again...Pick Your Poison people.

To me the best part of that article was found in the Gonzaga write up.

"Dranginis, a guy with little-to-no media attention whatsoever, unless you count Gonzaga's SBNation blog calling him “the best glue-guy in NCAA hoops.” Duke's Amile Jefferson and Matt Jones, Maryland’s Rasheed Sulaimon and any of Purdue’s eight glue guys might give Dranginis a run for that title, but he’s definitely in the mix."

Nice jump for us from 25 the previous week to 11 this week. Beat NM, a pretty good team, and that is a week with a true P5 road win (in convincing fashion for most of it) and NM... should crack the top 10 you would think. Great for recruiting that 2017 Indiana class.
