Our experience and pace


will be advantages we have. Depth is about the same for both teams. They have the Rivals no. 1 recruit in the country in the middle of their defense and offense. We will need diverse scoring to win this game. 5 players in double figures would be great. It would also be a great time for Aluma to find his 3 point accuracy and bring his man away from the rim some.

I haven’t seen them play, but looking at their roster and box scores, to win, I think we must
- protect the ball - points off turnovers need be to our advantage, and should be since they turn it over at a high rate.
- make our 3s - scoring at the rim will be tough (Duren is a shot blocking machine). A poor shooting night will probably result in a loss in this game no matter how good our D is.
- limit their second chance points - get defensive rebounds - absolutely essential.
- get back on defense and make them play from their half court offense.
