RE: Kent State vs. Buffalo (MAC Semis)
Pippen and AD staying out of foul trouble is going to be really important. When they went to the bench with 4 a piece BSU was down 10 and quickly went on a run. Perkins is a really tough matchup for AD because he's alot quicker than him and he's got a lot of muscle on Pippen. He will be a load to deal with.
Getting off to a quick start could be really important. If we're playing from in front I think we're more likely to try to get AK and Duling more first half minutes. If we can save some of their fouls early that will be big.
UBs length on the perimeter will likely cause us issues. Our top three perimeter players aren't particularly long so longer defenders give them problems. Not getting beat on perimeter defense will also be key as Pippen tends to pick up a lot of his fouls challenging guards that beat their man. Peterson is out longest perimeter player so him playing well could go a long way.
And lastly, you know Walker wants to end his old highschool coach's season again.
