Originally posted by Bluzrover View PostIt will be interesting to see how our young guards handle the size and length of the Tigers and their press. I re-watched the Ole Miss game last night and there were times that our guys still lofted lazy passes that were close to being picked off. That won't cut it against the Tigers who are much more athletic and probably more so than anybody we've faced yet. WVU had the bigs but I don't think their guards were nearly what we'll see tonight. I'm not sure Memphis has come up against a defense quite as good as the Shox but on the same hand, I'm not sure we've faced an offense anything like what the Tigers bring to CKA. And I sure would like to see our bigs be more aggressive under the basket when they get the ball, especially Mo. He seems to always hesitate before going to the basket and he's not the greatest leaper. Don't think he has much of a vertical because it sure seems his shots get swatted away quite a bit down in the lane. The Memphis bigs will swallow Mo, and AM for that matter, should he get in the game, with their timidity in the lane and in traffic. And for God's sake, pass the ball out to the open shooter you guys, especially when the defense collapses on you in the lane!

yes, the bigs have to be quick and decisive. Slow movements, double pumps, and slowly backing guys down won't cut it against Memphis.

Memphis has good size in the frontcourt, and about average on the wing, i think our guards are bigger than theirs.
Regardless, I'm hoping the Tigers will be at full strength. I want to see just how good we are. And I think we're good.
