Yes you are right, they have a tall front line. The physical traits we have is meat on the bones and this is what our defense not only are muscular but quick. We have given all SEC teams a fit and I think we will be tough on their offense. Oklahoma, played them with all out defense and made a lot of shots which is the key for us is to get good shots and make them. I am concerned we can get blown out with a slow start and shooting only contested forced threes. I am hoping we are still hungry and will play our best.
I feel like both teams, while capable, are also very Jekyll and Hyde in their 3 point game. Right now we are ranked 47th in defending the 3, while Bama is ranked #2. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/basketball-men/d1/current/team/518 In 3 point percentage they are ranked 146th: 238/683 34.8% We are ranked #265: 156/482 32.37% Would love nothing better than to see our guys catch fire on the 3's tonight but based on the stats I posted above gonna be a tough row to hoe.....
Hope our players are loose on offense and tight on D tonight.....attitude and poise really makes a difference!!
Might start a little late on TV . . . 8:00 left in the Iowa State 60 at West Virginia 63 game. Update: 62-63. Watch it go to OT.
