Who is the x-factor for Florida?

[caw]

St Joes - Brimah with 9-6
Nova - Samuel/Kromah with combined 23
ISU - Daniels with 27
MSU - Nolan with just fantastic defense
UF? - I think Giffey might be due

Boat and Napier are my givens, even Daniels around 12-15 is a given.

 

[UCweCONN]

Giffey for sure.

Giffey may not be having big shooting games but his hustle and grit this postseason is amazing the amount of tough offensive and defensive rebounds he gets have made him big for us all post season

 

[amory]

Yeah I have to agree with Giffey. He's been pretty off the last 2 games, though he's done a good job contributing in areas other than scoring.

He's due to shake off this slump and drain some big 3's.

It has been all season, and it will continue to be DD. Niels will get his points here and there and some good rebounds; that's what being a glue guy is about. If DD can just hit his season average of 13 and 6, I have to like our chances. We'll get double figures from Boat, Bazz, the 5, and LK/Niels.

Love to see NG knock down the open 3's. DD is a strong key to our success, but Amida has to stay out of foul trouble and Nolan needs a good performance. If we can keep Patterson from being dominant we can do this again. I think the FL needs to look out for the Boat.

 

[Kitaman]

I say Boat. He's playing 2014-2015 (preview) basketball right now in a positive way. He's more vocal, showing leadership and playing heady ball. He's stepping up his D, maturing as the point and playing at the top of his game. I have never seen his confidence so high and he looks like he's having fun. Bazz has shown him how to do it and he's taking notes. He's due for a 20+ game with all the Bazz focus. I think he will get big points, perhaps 25+ against florida.

The Chicago baller will deliver Saturday.

I agree and I seriously considered him for the Nova game but Samuel and Kromah overshadowed him IMO, bc their contributions were more surprising. Similar to how Napier, Boat and Daniels have to do something crazy (Daniels doubling his season average and then some) for me to consider them, Giffey would have to do something above expectations, against Memphis in the AACT for example. Or a double double. I think he shines against Florida with them keyed on Napier, Daniels and Boatright.

 

[Dove]

Anyone who doesn't say Brimah is wrong.

Need him out there giving 18 to 24 minutes. 6 points would be great. Along with 7 boards and 5 swats.

Its Brimah

Our X-Factor is Senhor!

Our X-Factor is Senhor!

I actually think this is the truth. To my surprise, this team has found a cohesive, determined will to win, and it has become fearless. I think that is what makes us the most dangerous team left.

 

[Horatio]

Niels on offense. T Sam on defense. Still waiting for a Tyler moment when he hits a 3 , hits a jumper and makes a couple of vital hustle plays with limited minutes.

 

[BoatShow]

Impossible for Niels to miss shots like last game. I think he'll hit at least 3 threes.
