Murray State

disagree with all saying that this game relies upon us hitting threes. Our game to date is exactly how to beat M.State. Athletic slashing, back door is how to beat these guys. We need to hit a few to keep the defense respectable but if we rely upon hitting threes we lose.

Fast paced how they like to play and scoring off of our defense will favor us. We get into half court and don't effectively take it to them inside and that will kill us.

+1. Keep doing what we're doing. Marco can help us mix it up and add depth, but we need to continue whatwe do best which is scoring in the paint, running in transition, controlling the tempo.

Agree with Paul as well. Also wanted to say it's nice to see Paul posting with regularity again after a few relatively quiet years when almost the only time he was posting was to explain why the site was having issues. Great to have.

We need the 3s to spread the defense and then we will be able to control the paint. This will benefit Sampson, Amir, and Sir'Dom as well as Obekpa and Jones down low.

If Bourgault or Harrison can hit a few 3s early this will be a great game
 
their defense is spread by default. It's an in your face defense extended out and that is why they are so good at defending the 3. But if we don't hit a few they can ease back a bit. Fortunately we've got three guys showing a good stroke so far.
 
They just tee'd up that guy. Of course the announcers dont say it before going to the commercial.

Sampson should kill it this game for us with the floor so spread out... he should drive on his man every time.
