numbers are up to 12.3 points and
nearly 10 boards per game.
Joining Jones down low is Jason
Collier, who entered Indiana to
much fanfare three years ago but
transferred to Georgia Tech last
season, reportedly because of an
adversarial relationship with
Hoosiers head coach Bobby
Knight.
“Things didn’t work out at In
diana, but he’s matured a lot since
then,” Cremins said.
Collier earned all-ACC honors
after scoring 17.5 points and
pulling down seven rebounds per
game this season, although the
Yellow Jackets managed just a
.500 record after losing to North
Carolina in the first round of the
ACC Tournament on Friday.
“It's been a difficult year for us,
but we’re still hanging in there.”
Collier said. “This will be good
for us, because it’s a postseason
tournament, and it helps playing
in March.”
Despite being 7 feet tall and 250
pounds, Collier is fourth in three
point attempts on the team this
season. Tagged with the unenvi
able task of shadowing Collier
tonight for Oregon is 6-foot-8 A.D.
Smith.
“1 think he’ll be a little similar
to Bobby Lazor, being a real
skilled big man who can shoot the
ball,” Smith said in reference to
Arizona State’s all-Pac-10 for
ward. ‘‘They’re a real tough team
from a tough conference. Their
big men are probably the strength
of their team, and if our big men
can at least neutralize them, we
feel pretty confident that we can
play with those guys.”
Smith’s teammate Mike Car
son, who will be guarding Jones,
agrees.
"I don’t think it’s any different
from what we’ve seen in the Pac
10, with guys like [Arizona’s A.J.]
Bramlett and [Washington’s]
Todd MacCulloch, who is able to
score 30 points a night,” Carson
said. ‘‘We’ve got to make sure that
we lock up Collier on the perime
ter and make sure we keep Jones
off the boards and try to get him
in foul trouble, because he likes to
jump and block shots.”
