We will see but I think we match up better with a team that has 3 guys that can really score and a bunch of other guys running around that hardly score as long as we box out and stay out of foul trouble. And for God's Sake it is on our own home court.

We haven’t faced a defense like theirs all year. Hopefully we are on.

Well we have to do something well to win games. Score and play defense are the basics. Hopefully we can do one very well or a little of both.

Our offense is a little better than theres. They have a great defense though. Winnable game, we will probably be the underdogs.

At home, no. But we wont be favored by much.

How is Giddy Potts still there? Feels like this would be his 6th year of eligibility.

Obviously we need to avoid those scoring droughts that seem to haunt us one or two times a game. Unfortunately, I'm not confident that we have the mental toughness to keep our focus.

What makes you think that? Since Jeff Jones has been your coach you guys have struggled on offense. If you're basing your opinion on stats I think that can be misleading because we've played a much tougher non conference schedule than you guys.

Well, I'm just happy that Reggie Upshaw isnt there anymore...

He was our kyrptonite it seemed. Kid would always go off. (even with the Kid'nPlay box-haircut)

Stats that are adjusted for competitiom. What our offense looked like in years prior has no bearing on this year. I dont see 2 defense only players in our lineup.

Amen brother - that kid was a beast!

There defense is really tough. I do like our matchup on defense except for King. We should do well down low vs Walters and Haynes can provide solid D on Potts. They really dont have much on offense besides them. The 1-3-1 might be effective, they dont have much shooting besides Potts.

Great points - I think we’re going to need Caver and Haynes to show up big to get the W. Both were absent for WKU - Johnson got into the team’s head from the start. I think/hope they’re going to be hungry/ready for this one.

Hungry and on the Hunt.

King is a stretch 4 like Upshaw was. He can shoot the three and drive to the basket as well as score in the post. He usually causes matchup problems for the other team. He scored 28 against Western KY as Johnson and Colby struggled to defend him.

Don't mid this guy. It's nice to have some discussion with fans from opponents. God knows this league could use a little familiarity. Thanks for stopping by, invite your friends, let's get this rivalry started.

Last thread in the mat is now gone. Go back to your empty board. No one here cares, nor wants you here. Be better than a troll.

Dude, chill. How about some hospitality and respect. If you don't agree with him tell him why he's wrong, like Giles did. Some of us enjoy getting a little insight, and even occasional banter from opposing fans.
