So, what's the board's vibe?
I'm still thinking Gonzaga is gonna bring it today, we'd better bring our A game.

As said on that Gonzaga board, this is a critical game for them. They think it can be the difference between a 2/3 seed and a 7/8 seed. Just this game, because we're damn good, and their in-conference schedule hurts them. So yeah, i expect them to be hungry as hell.

That said, the knowledgeable ones that broke it down feel like they match up terribly against our length and athleticism. I think if we keep our turnovers below 15 and shoot at a decent percentage (at least 40%), we'll beat the hell out of them. It's basically Timme without a consistent 2nd or 3rd option. If we play aggressive on D, and keep them from getting open looks from the perimeter, we should win pretty easily, even if our shots aren't falling.

Their D is not physical, like the last couple games. As long as we don't shoot around 30-32 fg%, I think we win by 10+ without it coming down to the last couple minutes.

Edit: damn, i really need to proofread before hitting submit.
