[quote="JohnnyFan" post=314391]Definitely not an easy game.

Max Strus is a savvy player. Good shooter, strong inside and high IQ. We have to keep him in check and don't pick up stupid fouls when he is far from the basket.

Another key is making sure we contest Eli Cain's three pointers. He will torch you if you leave him open, but he will also go 1-10 if you're in his shirt.

Looking forward to another great crowd at CA today![/quote]

Strus looks a little wild on his drives. Works for him but with our speed I'd like to see getting ahead of him for the charge.
 
If you accept the fact that Vill is the top big east team, De Paul the worst, based on the recent point spreads there is only a six point differential between the top and bottom teams in the league.
That means teams have to be ready to play every game and lucky enough to escape injury in order to finish in the top half of the league and get a bid.
We should never hear an explanation of taking an opponent too easy in explaining a loss. Have to win the home games.

BPI percentage has dropped too, but not nearly as dramatically. We still have an 87.1% chance of victory, which is a lot for a conference game.
 
DePaul is no pushover, had sizable second half leads in 4 of their 5 losses.

So did we in both our losses.

I don’t think anyone thinks we are a pushover

I just said we had leads in the second half in our loses, not that we are pushovers
 
Sure hope the game preceeding ours on TV ends on time so we get to see the tip off.
 
Ponds not on court for early shoot around, rumor he might not play because of his back... just a rumor at present
 
[quote="mjmaherjr" post=314465]Dixon going to see a lot of time tonight......[/quote]

Time for Williams and Trimble to play an increased role. They need to be prepared to score. They should be fine on defense. DePaul will treat them as the fifth option and will try to force the ball into their hands when we are on offense, especially when the shot clock is under 7. We need to avoid this as much as possible and get them involved in the offense earlier in the shot clock. Naturally, and more importantly all need to avoid foul trouble.
 
Damnit this sucks was just going to post that I’m here early and ponds is not out here for warmups this really sucks but we have the talent to win without him if we play the right way.
