The Big "O"

Skip Myslenski of the Chicago Tribune contends that Greg Oden is probably overrated at this point of the season. He points to the fact that Jason Chappel effectively shut him down last Tuesday, and despite his impressive performance against Tennessee on Saturday, he owns only one offensive move, the dunk.

Myslenski also points to the fact that the Badgers best floor unit contains neither Chapppel nor Butch. Landry and Krabbenhoff, when combined with Tucker, Taylor, and Flowers, make a formidable five on both ends of the floor. Landry can man the middle given his long arms and major ups. I'd like to see Stiemsma play more with this unit when Tucker takes a breath, as Landry can assume his role in the offense.
