So you know personnel, scouting reports, etc., and a walkthrough for a reminder is all you need. In these tournaments, you can’t have a practice to prepare for an opponent. You just have to play. It’s the same format for both teams - but it’s different than any other game the rest of the year. Ironically, during our swoon in January of 2023, I felt like the Alabama and Iowa State wins lost their luster a little bit for that reason - feeling like we just took advantage of an unusual format and maybe got wins we wouldn’t have otherwise gotten. But we got things straightened out and looked more like that team again. This time, we have to try to not look like that team again. [/QUOTE]
