[QUOTE="Techster, post: 788565, member: 360"] Book this: Usher is gonna have a great game. There are GT fans on here that still don't want to give Usher the credit, but he has elite level athleticism and his basketball skills are just now starting to catch up. Some of the stuff he does to get to the rim and around the rim (OUTSIDE of his dunks) are NBA level. He's a streaky shooter, but when he's on, the rest of his game gets elevated. Usher is a completely different player at this point of the season...and by different, I mean his basketball ability is just starting to awaken on the same level that Moses "awakened" toward the end of last season. He's been playing with a lot of confidence lately, and he's the type of player that thrives in a big game atmosphere (seriously, look at his best games this year, dude has been excellent against the top teams we've played against). Guess what? It doesn't get much bigger than the NCAAT! Nothing against Loyola, I've watched a few of their games today, and they haven't seen an athlete or the havoc level Usher can bring from anyone on the schedule this year. There are some players that can wreck whatever defense you put out there, and Usher has become one of those players for us. As I said earlier in this thread, we have 4 legit guys who can bring it now. GT has 4 players who have the ability to score 15+ points...and all 4 players can do it at the same time as well. I'd love to see the stat on how many teams have that level of scoring from 4 players. Our guys did it against ACC level competition. I've been a bit nervous about Loyola all week (they are a GOOD team), but there's a part of me that thinks playing in a ringer the last month against some really good teams has masked how good of a team we really are.
