Duke and Florida looked smooth as silk and operated as a machine. Both look scary good.

I believe Mt St Mary's was missing like 4 of their players today.

Them missing Pacheko hurt them bad. He was a top5 3pt shooter in the country.

We have a 76.5% matchup prediction. We need to come out strong and play as we did in January/February

The whole AU baseball team is going to be at the game after their own game against Kentucky.

Any chance we can get the boys on a plane to fight again?

That lit a fire in their arse once.

we’ve beaten every team we’ve played thus far that was as good as Creighton, and quite a few that are better

i feel pretty good about this one

Excited for this game. Also curious to see how Creighton defends us. They normally play the biggest drop coverage you can imagine with Kalkbrenner just daring you to drive to the lane. But that puts all the responsibility on the guards to fight through screens and defend the perimeter. If he stays in that deep drop coverage then we should have plenty of wide open threes and mid range shots/floaters. If he comes out with the bigs then our guards have to be able to attack the paint with him away from the rim.

Defensively it all comes down to whether or not they hit their threes and don’t let Kalkbrenner get easy buckets rolling to the rim. Statistically we are one of the best at defending the 3 pt line.

Good analysis. Push the perimeter shooters away from the basket. Make them shoot on the move and play the big guy straight up. Intensity on defense. I know our offense is very efficient but our defense is what makes this team go and all about effort and energy.

I say all that but I trust whatever game plan Bruce comes up with.

Gonna need tahaad to have his floaters on today and Denver to hit those elbow jumpers and we will be fine. If Dylan and johni can tire their big guy out that will do a lot

The matchup favors us… style wise anyways

It will all come down to whether we show up or not… I have serious doubts this team can.

This. Auburn has the tools. Do we have the fire? The ASU game has the alarm bells ringing.

Only 2 options at this point. Win and advance or lose and go home.

With 5 days rest coming up if they win, they can afford to play hard from buzzer to buzzer.

Corch may have never made it to the big leagues but he's a HOFer at coachspeak cliches.
