With this team, the defense is always pretty good. The unknown factor is offense, which has always been the case with Steve's teams. If we're shooting the ball reasonably well, we normally win. But if we get into one of those nights where we can't hit the side of a barn, we're in trouble. That's where you need the dominating post man and the great point guard. We have neither at this point. It's going to be a struggle guys. As Bette Davis said in the movie "A Star is Born". "Fasten you seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy ride".

I'm afraid Hicks is going to have a field day against us. What will we put against him - a 6'6 small forward?

I think like any good player he's going to get his points. You try to hold him down a little or get him in foul trouble, but you don't let the other players beat you. If he gets twenty points, he still can't beat you by himself. If you can reasonably shut the other guys down, and assuming we can get the ball in the hole, we win the game.
