I'd love to get their center and reserve center in foul trouble early by getting the ball inside , whether we are converting or not.  2 Fouls on each with 7-8 minutes left in the first half should really hurt their ability to keep us off the offensive boards.  Then draw a 3rd on one of them before halftime and they will be in trouble.  If Cole or Gaffney have a significant offensive game in their future, this would be the opportunity to step forward.  They are not at a disadvantage physically. Continuing Polley and Martin's 3 point shooting barrage seems like too much to wish for.  Countering with 4-5 threes from Cole/Gaffney seems required.   Get the ball inside to start.  Later drive and finish, or dish to our bigs.  If the bigs  kick it back out, those 3's  should be available.    Season's are strange.  I looked at  Bouknight, Jackson, Martin, and Adams as a huge team strength.  In a flash we are limited in ball handlers and wing depth, (with apologies to point guards Josh & Polley).  Cole, Gaffney, and Adams can't get in foul trouble for us.  In the end we prevail even if nothing I've said holds true. On the other hand, let's kick their ass from the tip with Sanogo 14pts, Whaley 14pts, Josh 8, and Akok 6.
