I feel like we're really going to click in this game and have one of our best performances of the year. Not just bc ECU is bad. But getting back in our own gym after having a few days after the long trip. The guys should be feeling good.

Yah...I am hoping to get up enough early to get the bench in there and get the starters some rest. They just gave it 100% on the road. It should be a nice worry free game to come back to.

After subjecting myself to watching ECU twice, it is quite clear they are TERRIBLE. And their worst aspect is handling on ball pressure / ball handling. This will be a massacre at home. If the spread starts with a 1, hammer it. We may end up winning by 40.

The bench gave us some solid minutes in this last game. Scott, Brooks and Moore all gave us 10 minutes apiece. Cane added 21 minutes. In a game where we were defending every pass and pushing the pace it was nice to see solid contributions from the bench.

Hope the ECU game is more of the same.

Yeah it felt weird putting 31+ on the poll in an AAC game...but that's what I voted for.

ECU is pounding South Florida. Would that break the streak of teams losing before playing us??? Who would've thought it'd be them?

 

[jacobkdoyle]

ECU up 61-26 on USF. USF has been outscored by about 70 in the last 60 minutes of game time.

Good lord, I kinda feel bad for USF. Getting the brakes beat off of you by ECU? Whew, I'm never complaining about our team again lol

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.

-29.5

I will pass on that spread...

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

He will play tomorrow

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

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.
