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.

I have a good feeling about this game. Watched them play Memphis. I was not impressed. Now watch them come out and play the best game in school history.

Tulane is one of the most average teams I've seen. If we're better than average, we should win.

The over/under on Carlton's first foul is one minute. Three minutes without a foul is eternity.

Chief is from the school that you scout the other team - who are their best players and how do they score, learn what defense and offense they play.
BUT, at the end of the day it’s about YOU - how good you are, how hard you work, how tough you are, how you can exploit the bad guys!

The plan is to drink copious amounts of beer and either celebrate what surely must be the long anticipated beginning of our resurgence or channel every bit of repressed anger I've stored up since birth cursing Kevin Ollie's very existence. There's no middle ground.

Gonna be tough with all their starters 6-6” above , we have to stop them from driving and rebounding will be crucial... so I wouldn’t go with a 3 guard lineup in this game, Polley should see the court more today

Did you let Calhoun in on this inside scoop way back in the day? No wonder he ended up in the Hall of Fame
