We only shot 23% in the 1st half and 25% fron three on 3-12 shooting. We also only had 8 ft attempts and made them all. I just don't see our offense being that bad Thursday

They coughed up 17 TO's last time to our 11, and we now our TO's have dropped dramatically under Burke. We scored 14 points off those TO's and had 19 fast break points with 26 points in the paint. If we can do what we did last time, but with a better offense and a better half court defense. This should be another one that comes down to the wire. I could see Burke using the same strategy he did against CofC. Take away the drive, leave them open from three, and fight for rebounds. They turn the ball over a lot and aren't good from three.

Seahawks - 72
KittyKats - 68

While i agree, we can certainly win this game, you give us credit for everything we have improved, but don't acknowledge that they have done the same. They are on a tear

They are, but they also haven't faced a press since we played them, which is why we should press. We caused them to turn the ball over more than anyone this year, but they did turn it over 14 times against Elon. I just think we have the quick guard play that can give them trouble. We also forced our offense through Linssen then and he ended up going 2-10 from the field. We don't do that anymore. Like I said, I think it will be tight game. I just believe we'll win. Should be another one tailor made for Phillips. I think he's too quick for any guard to stop him from getting to the basket one on one.
