2) playing on short rest. This will be their 8th game away from home this season so they are certainly battle tested, but after back-to-back D1 losses to Rider and Yale, it's looking like we're catching them at a good time.
and
3) not getting their best play out of Lamb, who has only made 5 of his last 26 3-point attempts.
They are a stellar defensive team though, holding D1 opponents to 37% shooting from the field and 27% from 3.

Yea, when I see lamb is shooting 5-26 in last few games, to me it just means he lights us up at Fifth Third.
We've not been good at shutting down a teams 1st or 2nd best player outside of the OSU game. And i think its because we play Man and I don't think this team has a great defender on it.
I'll be interested to see the kinda strategy Brannen uses to stop lamb. Hopefully a decent crowd shows up because were gonna need it.
Jarron needs to come alive and just take over. If Shabaz napier can lead his team to a championship, then so can Jarron Cumberland.
