Too big of an adjustment on the lines after losing Taylor I'd think.

keys for me are

1. Jarron hitting some shots behind the arc.

2. Getting some buckets in transition.JJ and Cane take care of the ball and push the pace at every opportunity.

3. I think Evans pull up game plays well here

4. Kyle and Gary have both shown the ability to knock down 3's on occasion this would help.

5. If we get a early foul on Taco. I challenge him early and often looking for that 2nd foul.

Cumberland definitely needs to be ready to shoot.

Against good competition, he has historically struggled on the road.

Would be nice to see our offense firing on all cylinders in a road game

I bet Cats buck their trends and cover with the over. 72-55.

took kansas an entire half last night to realize not to run into the shot blocker. once they figured that out the game turned.

We struggled to score against them last year, but this year's team seems to have much more offensive potential. If they shoot halfway decent from 10-15 feet and make some 3's it should be a 10+ point victory. Speed them up and force mistakes.

He certainly has! I'm hopeful that his game at USF was a step in the other direction. We need him tonight.

Exactly. Perfect example. Maybe even more so for Fall bc of his wingspan. That Konate dude for West Va just explodes off the floor though.

Has anyone checked to see if Taco is foul prone? I really don't think he has been. At least when we have played them he has not.
