They are beatable! They don’t have a real big either. They’re a perimeter team much like SDSU. I think we can beat them especially with their unfamiliarity with our zone.

Gotta rebound like gangbusters and not turn it over. Even though they aren’t a huge team they are ferocious rebounders. But, I’d take these guys over Rutgers though to be honest. Rutgers had ZERO problems with the Zone earlier in the year and better inside guys. Cheers.

I think we can win too. They’re not a very good offensive team to begin with, and combine that with having to play our zone... man I like our chances!

Yeah, I always like when we square off against a squad lacking some legit size. Hopefully the zone can continue to perplex and we keep getting great minutes from Bras/Jesse whenever needed!! Let's GO ORANGE!

We are going to need some others to setup up against Houston. The guys guarding Buddy will have comparable length to him so he won't be able to rise over them on that pull up he has been killing teams with lately. He'll still get some looks from deep of screens and transition but I think he drive and pull up game is going to be limited.

We just need to keep cutting hard off the ball and letting Marek facilitate. We started to get in trouble with WVU when we overdribbled. Cannot do that VS Houston.

Don't there starting PG will be 100 percent healthy either. He's been a trooper though.

Wish we could dump it in the post for an easy bucket to loosen things up. Just have a bad feeling that Houston will clamp down on us and make it very difficult. Who knows. I’ve been definitely more wrong than right with this Tourney.

I don’t want to see anyone get hurt, but if he’s not 100% that could be a game changer, and really help us.

That’s why I think Kadary needs to play 20-25 minutes minimum.

Yeah would be nice to see Kadary be out there sooner than later. Grimes is tough. We just gotta really team rebound. Guards too.

I do think Joe has seemed better in the zone of late - which makes a bit of a difference. He seems to be exerting more energy. I do wonder at times if these guys don't "save it" because of the 40MPG they were/are getting at times. He's never going to be average, but when he hustles he can at least be more than a turnstyle. Buddy is Buddy, but with the offense, I'll take it at the moment. Kadary is great though - his ability to get in passing lanes pushes out the offense so often. It's little things like that that make him so great.
