That being said our first 12 games were all better than their 2nd best performance all year. And we have 9 games more impressive than their best. Nova's offense is still elite and forces tough matchups but they're not going to be able to stop us. They don't have rim protection, they don't rebound well, they don't force a poor shoot %, and they don't force turnovers. In the words of Office Space, "What is it you say you do here?" Since Whitmore's return they're ranked 57th by BartTorvik. Shooting 38% from 3, both shooting splits for (barely top 50) and against slightly better (but still mediocre), low turnover rate for and forced, mediocre to bad rebounding, no fouls given on D (like Butler), We should be able to generate some easy baskets through Sanogo and offensive boards and then just have to lean on home crowd to help force a few turnovers and should be able to out execute and play harder (using depth) than them on both ends.
