Sure fire way to kill any confidence Cobb has left.

That's a tough one, kjs d could help set a precedent early on but if Cobb can get going early that could also do wonders. Other than butler, Cobb typically came up big in big games.
I hate to say it but offiating will play a huge roll in this game. Given the infamous fight, I have a feeling it'll be tight, which doesn't favor UC. |

I wouldn't expect Mick to tip his hand about Evans until he absolutely has to.

Abell will probably be the one guy that hits like 6 three's since he hasn't really done anything this year (that's how it goes right?) BUT...I'm thinking we actually show the grit and toughness that Mick has been talking about. UC by 12

If they play small, we have to force the ball into Gary and he has to look to get to the rim and finish on almost every possession. If they double him find the open man for an open shot. Or if you're at the rim and they double you with 2 small guys finish over both of them.

Most of the guys playing defense are the same guys who were part of one of the best defenses in the nation last year. I doubt the loss of Jermaine Sanders devastated our defense. We just have to man up and play at the same intensity we did last year. We know it's there. Just do it. We've had a number of dream teams that were somewhat humiliated by X upsetting them. This may be the ultimate X team of all time (in their fan's eyes), and it sure would be sweet if we could beat them on their home court. We were always able to recover pretty quickly from X defeats. Their fans will never recover from this loss. That would be extremely sweet if it happens. |

There may be a few games where we purposely slow the game down this year and I am guessing this is one of them. I don't think we are going to try to run and gun them on their home court.
If we play with intensity on D, play with poise, slow the game and make a moderate amount of shots we can beat them. |
