fyi -- Maybe it's just me, link seems to go to screen shot of the pod, but doesn't actually contain the podcast feed. I checked both on desktop & my phone. Thought you might like to know & check, just in case. If I'm incorrect, disregard.
 
The matchup discussion was very interesting

Without Jefferson:
Toure - Gillispe
Lipsey - Boswell
Heise - Ament
Milan - Estrella
Buchanan - Okpara

Milan / Estrella is such a huge mismatch. Estrella is a 6'11", 240lb back-to-the-basket big who is a great offensive rebounder. But there's absolutely no way he can guard Milan anywhere on the court.

If Jefferson plays, then he'll be on Okpara, Buchanan on Estrella and Milan on Ament - at least to begin.

Boswell went 4-9 from 3 against Virginia, but he hadn't made more than 2 in any other game this season. They don't have anyone on the bench like Dell'Orso, who is a legit volume 3pt shooter.

They switch a lot but they’ll keep Estrella on either Buchanan or Pleta depending who is in the game and just sag off/stay near the paint. They’ll put their bigger guards or more mobile forwards on Milan.

The key to the game. Who has to adjust to the mismatch. Is ISU small ball a bigger problem for Tenn than their size is for ISU?
