adjusted tempo nationally, I had assumed that they would play at a rather fast pace.
Their tallest player is 6'9 and plays 15 mpg. I expect us to absolutely pound them down low, given that we just saw us successfully do that last game. We need to make sure we extend perimeter defense to not give up a bunch of 3's, ideally play man to man exclusively to take advantage of our athleticism, nobody outside of Mark Smith/Dru Smith/Pinson attempt a 3 pointer, continue to push the pace and get transition buckets while taking care of the ball. We do those 4 things, which we have already demonstrated the capacity to do, and we are almost assured of winning.
