I'd like to see us push the pace early on and run against this team. They have 4 guards and a Serbian freshman big who are decent players. Then a pretty unskilled center who eats up most of the minutes at the 5. After that, there's a big drop off in quality on their bench. If we get them tired and committing stupid fouls early on, we can really blow this game open.

I initially predicted a 21-30 pt win so I'll stick with that, but I'm hoping everyone who gets into this game can hit a groove at some point and we win similarly to how Wichita did against them at home.

I think your right on. Would love to see a bit more of Williams this game. Didn't get in against UCF. I think that was more about style then anything else. His game is going to the hoop and having Fall in the middle wasn't a good fit at this time for his game.

I think this team is starting to see what playing a full 40 minutes of basketball can do for us in terms of effort. I don't want the starters to get tired out...but I would like to see this effort trend continue. We might be the best defensive team in the country when we play 40 minutes on that side of the ball. The offense will come around.

How is Broome after getting smacked against UCF? Will he play?

What I'm looking for today is the Cats giving the usual 40 minutes of effort even when playing a team having a bad year. That requires mental toughness.

We should be plenty motivated after seeing ECU's last game.

I want to see us get up early and get our bench some good minutes. Really want to see Williams and Moore get some extended minutes.
