Anyone have any clue what the plan is?
Looks like Reynolds and Frazier are the top guys to shut down. I think putting Whaley on Reynolds is an easy call, but the guard matchups are really weird. The shortest guy on the starting lineup is 6'5" so that will likely make it tough for us to go with the three guard lineup unless they are terrible ball handlers.
Crazy stat, Frazier is shooting 59% on 174 attempts. I haven't seen a guard shoot with that efficiency for that stretch. It may make sense to throw Larrier on him to try and get some length against him but Larrier probably isn't our lockdown defender. Jalen is our tallest guard, but giving him that matchup on D will be a tough 40 mins. That means Vital may have the key matchup today.
If I were Tulane I would look to hedge hard on the high screens to try and neutralize the PnR, and give heavy help in the post. Given they have size all around they should be able to put reasonable help on the post against our poor scoring big men. I would have the wings crash hard to the post on help and force Uconn to shoot 3 balls.
