This was before the Elite 8 when Memphis played Ohio State.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... 01940.html"I'm an underrated big man, and he's a lot overrated as a big man," Dorsey said. "It's going to be a great rebounding game for me. I see this as a big chance to make a name for myself. I stopped Greg Oden, and I scored 15 points and grabbed 20 rebounds. Hold him to nine and five. Everyone is going to say [I'm] a great player.
"Everyone wants to see me and Greg Oden go against each other. It's going to be David and Goliath. I'm Goliath. He's the little man. I'm going to outwork him to every ball. I think I'm going to have like a 20-rebound night. Coach Cal said this is going to be my breakout game."
Dorsey went on to say he hopes Oden does not get into foul trouble, "so we can battle." He said among the centers he has faced this season, Nick Fazekas is a better big man than Oden because of his versatility. He said he had been watching film on Oden in his hotel room, two tapes done and four more to go as of Friday afternoon. His research revealed:
"I'm going to attack him by running the floor to get him tired," Dorsey said. "He gets very tired. He jogs the floor a lot when he doesn't get the ball on offense. I'll beat him down the floor on offense.
"He's not really physical in the paint. He likes to [play] help side and block shots. I haven't seen him on a great player play good defense. Like against Xavier, he didn't block a lot of shots."
Dorsey's boasts came in a light-hearted and good-natured manner, with a wide smile, not a sneer. He also said he respects Oden, calling him a great player. How great?
"He might be as good as Joey Dorsey," Joey Dorsey said.
Here's the stats from that matchup:
Oden: 17 points on 7 for 8 shooting, 9 rebounds, 1 block in 24 minutes
Dorsey: 0 points, 3 rebounds, 0 blocks, 0 steals, 4 fouls, 19 minutes
