It'll be good to get a measuring stick for how we perform against a top team - not to mention a top team away from home.

What's most important to me is that we limit the self-inflicted wounds on both ends of the court (bad shots, turnovers, needless fouls, etc) and give ourselves a genuine chance to compete.
I'm hoping we are competitive and maybe even find a way to pull out a win. But even getting blown out won't be the end of the world and it would be interesting to see how react in that case.

If we get blown out, I'll be happy if we see guys who are still out there competing, fighting for every loose ball and running the system on offense/defense.

I don't want to see the self-destruction that was so common the last couple of years when things went south, with guys playing for themselves and teamwork falling apart.
