For more, im going to go Mo Gibbs...
Houston plays a lot like we did under our previous regime. With Mo being a senior, my gut says he will be "el hombre" which will hit end one of Houston's spurts---or get the ball inside to Frank/Jeremy/Wen.
THis is a winnable game, and hopefully we are starting to get hot at the right time.
Go Blazers
Junior is going to score 30.
Going off their USA box score, their starting 5: 6'6", 6'6", 6'5", 6'3", and 6'2". 4 bench players saw the floor for 11, 7, 2, and 1 minutes, with two of their starters playing the full 40.
So we should do the same thing we've done the past two games, pound it inside, and see if they can do anything about it. I say either Frank or Jeremy just goes off. My money is on Frank doing what he did to Marshall last year, 20+ and 10+. Kinnard should have another nice game with their tallest guy giving up two inches.
My only fear is that this game is like our game against them last year. They hadn't played spectacularly all year, then they come in to Bartow and just start nailing threes. If they do that, it's gonna be interesting to see if our guys can keep their shooting up away from home.
Mayfield and Holmes will be key. They've been key to our success the last several games and most of our other successful games this season.
My money is on Frank
PDIII looked tired against Rice, he's still fun to watch when he slashes the lane
I'm gonna cheat and give 2 names.
Frank Holmes and Mo Gibbs.
Mo looks fresh after coming off the injury and Holmes has played light years better all year. For a while there when the rest of the team looked tired and disinterested Frank was the only one fired up. He was the only one that looked like he gave a crap.

ok, it's not bad enough you use the unholy name, you repeat it three times and invoke him.
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice...
Go Blazers.. I think if you win.. the Tigers will be assured of a at least a regular conference championship. We have 4 conference games left. Even if we lose all 4 (not likely) then we will at least share the conference crown for the regular season. So---Go Blazers..
The X factor will be our bench. Who will step up?
The biggest X factor is weather a hot and cold Houston team will be hitting their shots. If they are on they can play with anyone. If they are off they can lose to anyone. If they are lukewarm, last team with the ball wins........
