If UALR is to win the game, it will be important to at least hold down State's high scoring freshman guard to a respectable total and play on even terms with Adams, the big man, inside. Plus have someone strong enough to equalize Trey Finn.
I would assume we would start with Solo on the guard, Alex on Trey Finn, and Money on Adams. I don't know how Steve will arrange the starting lineup, but I would assume that Solo and Alex will start for certain, and the reason I think Money will start is because he's our best shot blocker. Also I like the idea of Bails being available in the last ten or fifteen minutes of the game because of his ability to shoot free throws. We need to keep him out of early foul trouble, so I'd probably try and alternate Money and Burton as long as I could until the second half.
It seems to be our strategy to bring III in as a sixth man. If the past is any indication, that will probably be the game plan tomorrow night. I foresee a pretty close game, and if the refs let them play and we stay out of foul trouble, I think we have at least a reasonable chance of winning the game. On that note, since it's a Thursday game, we'll have better officials than the Saturday games, so that should be an advantage for both teams to be able to keep their best players in the game until the end. It will probably be a wild ride.
