40-9 run. Holy cow. Sounds like we need to control the tempo. Holding them to under 70 will be the half the battle. Scoring 71 or more will be the other half.

I would love an upset, but I dont' have my hopes up at all about this game. We will do well to stay within 20.

I can not wait for it. I need to control the tempo. Holding them to under 70 will be the half the battle. Scoring 71 or more will be the other half. I like it so much. I love this exhibition.
