Kansas switched on everything except at the 5 as Dickinson stayed on Clingan. Creighton will probably do the same and leave Kalkbrenner parked in the middle of the paint where McDermott likes him. Creigton on pick and rolls will have Kalkbrenner playing drop coverage, he almost never hard hedges like Sanogo does, and have whoever is getting picked chase over the top of the pick trying to keep attached at the hip of the ball handler trying to push the ball handler to the middle where Kalk will be parked.

Attacking Ashworth is a good plan as he is a terrible defender. If the drives to basket force Kalkbrenner to help this can open a lot of offensive rebounding opportunities for Samson-he just has to take advantage. If UConn goes small, they will give up more points on the defensive end, but if they are on shooting, they can score a lot. Kalkbrenner and Frederick King are not comfortable playing defense away from the basket and it goes against Creighton's core defensive gameplan.
