Didn't know they play a Princeton style offense. Our ability to switch on perimeter screens will be very useful.
Arop on their top player (a sf/pf) could be a key of shutting them down.

The NCAA has bestowed the honor upon us to be the first team to qualify for the Sweet 16.

Is this our modern day game against Florida Gulf Coast?

Just watched Virginia highlights. Slawson is their guy. Johnson will need to be a legit defender on him. Then we switch to Arop.

They average 81 points a game and give up 71 - usually get 20 FT's a game - most are good FT % most of their guys shoot close to or over 50 FG % and most 35% Threes
Their top 4 guys usually play about 30 minutes or more
6'3" Bothwell 18 ppg
6'7" Slawson 15 ppg and leads them in rebounding - steals - blocks
6'1' Pegues 12 ppg
6'4" Foster 10 ppg
6'9" Hien 8 ppg plays about 20 minutes

It’s 12:10pm there. The time isn’t gonna be an issue. They will have been there for 4 days, no more jet lag. It’s also the only game on at that time. The eyes of the nation will be on us. Speak for yourself I'm still fighting off the Time Change Lag

Look guys, stop acting like this is a gimme. Furman’s conference tournament ended March 6th. They had TEN DAYS rest before yesterday. Even if you want to dismiss all jet lag excuses, they have the advantage that they are much more rested than our guys.

The metrics say Furman is worse than Charleston and the rest and time zone aspects will be more neutralized….I like our chances!

Fortunately they don't have that much time to prepare for us.

The Aztecs will have only played one game in the last week. I think they'll be just fine.

Really not a bad time. Getup , eat team breakfast, coaches give overview of game plan ,stretch, shoot around and play at 12:10- then win !

That means that the return home flight should get here at a reasonable hour. Probably between 7 and 8. We can have a welcome home rally tomorrow night.

Is there any way to watch full replays of games within a reasonable time after the game? May not be able to watch right at 9:20am. Unfortunately do not have DVR.

Fortunately they don't have that much time to prepare for us. they upset UVA because they played well enough, they have good players and the UVA guy at the end made a boneheaded mistake at the end. all you people try to find the most ridiculous excuses/reasons to things. they are a good team and the other team made a huge mistake at the end, so they won these guys are ATHLETES and in the 19's/20's they aren't 40 year olds that they need so much rest before games. had they lost, someone would've argued they were too well-rested and rusty. my goodness.

Seems like a ton of travel to go all the way home just to fly back to Kentucky 2 days later. Would they just go to Louisville on Sunday and stay for a extra day or 2 rather than travel that much?

If they win they will probably stay local and go to Disneyworld.

Hmmm… Seems like a better option for the S16 game (if we win on Saturday) is available. Maybe other factors are involved; budget, NCAA rules, class, home cooking, routine, etc.?

We had a 70.2% chance and a 5.5 point spread from them vs CoC. Take care of business against a team we should beat - but we all know that means nothing.
