Looks like it’s back to this but


Cane plays less than 10 minutes I don’t like our chances. Cane plays 25+ I like them.
 
we have to get back to being us. if we're gonna try to play this stall ball for 30 minutes again its just not a recipe for victory for us. our team needs to try to get out in transition when the opportunity presents itself. our guys seem to feed off it and we play with more energy on defense.


when mick stalled us out tonight, our defense seemed to back off too. the energy was just zapped.
 
So who do we want to see guarding who?

Bearcat Starters:
Evans - 6'6
Clark - 6'8
Cumberland - 6'5
Washington - 6'9
Broome/JJ - 6'0/5'10


Shocker Starters:
Shamet - 6'4
Kelly - 6'7
Morris - 6'8
Brown - 6'6
Reaves - 6'5


We should match up size wise at every position except PG. Who do you put on Landry? Morris worries me because I think he will physically manhandle Gary and Kyle down low. Plus he can step out for the 3 also.

Really need to limit the open 3s sunday. WSU has 6 guys shooting over 35% from 3 this year. Reaves, Morris, Haynes-Jones and Shamet are all over 40%. Cannot let these guys have any open looks.
 
Time to move on I guess. This is now one of those must win situations (in terms of seeding and conference titles)...not for a tourney birth. We have to take 1 game from WSU if we want to secure a protected seed. Win 1 of them (and win the rest of the games we should win) and I still think we are a 3 seed. Lose both to WSU and we may be a 4 seed or borderline 5 because we blew all of our quality chances.

We need a quality win and the one at home is obviously most likely. The committee has already played their hand a little bit and may not want to move us out of the top 16...but if we can't take a quality game from here on out...they may have to reconsider and I don't want them to do that.

Sell this game out and kick their ass!!
 
I don't want to go into an away game at WSU on senior night to determine our conference championship or protected seed. This is a HUGE F***ing game!! Win this game (and the other games we "should win") and we will accomplish both objectives. Biggest game of the year! Lay it all on the line!
 
The running tally for +/- in conference games is +127 broome +90 jenifer.


The tally vs the 5 toughest games they both played in, SMU at home, at UCF, Temple at home, and both houston games is +42 broome and +22 jenifer. (Jenifer was +9 at temple but Broome didn't play so I didn't use it but am noting it here, he was also +9 vs temple at home and broome was +19 in that one)


Let the man play. We need his energy. Team rallies around him.

What worries me is, how do we stop the 3's?? Wichita shoots the 3 as well as (actually a tiny bit better) than Houston, & Houston killed us from 3 even in the game we won. Teams with good ball movement & several guys who can hit the 3 are UC's achilles heel ('course, I guess any team has problems with that kind of offense).

We had better hit some 3's ourselves or it's defeat

I think we shut them down more than they are used to. At the same time we tend to do pretty well against shaky defenses. At home I like our chances. On the road it's a toss up.

Shamet knows how to get a shot off and he can make it. Are the rest of them set shooters? Houston has 3 players who can creates space and knock one down. I like our chances against a set shooter team. I have only watched them once this year so I really have no idea.

we're gonna have trouble if we can't stay in front of shamet. i dont think either pg can so jake probably has to take him.


we can't help off reaves or frankamp. this got us in trouble last night, we kept helping in spots it wasn't necessary and let great 3 point shooters get open looks.


plus morris and willis are like kwash and gary, they can step out and hit the occasional 3 (40.5% and 35% respectively).


its gonna be a tough one. we're going to have to score ourselves.

I don't see either of those two capable of breaking down our D so I would agree. Don't switch. Let Evans take Shamet. We can go straight man on this team and only Shamet can break us down for the most part. They have an all around squad but they have been beat several times already. I don't think we struggle too much at home. We can get our shots off and we can make them uncomfortable.

Reaves is the guy we need to worry about. The kid has range
