-10 is a surprise, wasn't Evansville only -9.5?
Looking at their roster, it doesn't appear they have a ton of size. They had only one player over 6'7" play more than 4 minutes (Braelen Bridges, 6'10" 235 lb) last game. They appear to be more of a small and quick running team, than a team that can match us in the paint. I imagine we will see a lot of press and them trying to run us off the court (it worked for them last year).
It will be a test for some of our bigger lineups to see if we can defend a major level smaller team with our twin towers lineup. Also a test of the ball handling of every guard except DDJ. If we can slow things down, not turn the ball over and dominate the paint, we should come away with an easy win. If we let them speed the game up and make us run, we still have the depth to keep up, but it won't be as favorable for us.
