        Hmmm.....seems like I've heard this before.......



        The monster is coming! Head coach Isaac Brown sat down with local media for a preview of Thursday night's matchup with No. 3 Houston – a team that has consistently challenged Shocker big men with its rebounding and defensive pressure. Brown talked about what his team must do to beat Houston's double teams and looked back on a six-year rivalry with the Cougars that will soon draw to a close. Read on for the transcript:




        … The thumbnail on Houston:
        "Very good basketball team, ranked third in the country. Great coach in Kelvin Sampson. Veteran basketball team. The best defensive team in the country. The best backcourt in the country. They've got a really good freshman that's probably going to be a top-15 pick in the NBA draft. Those guys are really defending at a high level. We've got to do a good job of rebounding, taking care of the basketball, especially offensively. They're doing things that our team hasn't seen this year before. The way monster the low post -- I say they ambush the low post -- like nobody else in the country. You've got to be willing to pass it back out in their ball screen coverage…. It's just different. You've got to be ready to make quick passes to get it to the other side of the floor. Then you've got to make some jump shots, because they protect the paint. They make you make jump shots.

          Kleenex? Check.

          Cry towel? Check.

          Anal Lube? Check.

          Wife's dog with big bullseye taped to the side of it? Check.

          I'm prepped and ready for the first half!

                  I am no way expecting a win. However I have a feeling we will play as good as we can. I realize that is all relative.

                  We have not seen any where close to the level of Defense that Houston plays. That being said, I think we will cover the spread. Is that a moral victory? NO! But I have a feeling we put out our best effort tonight.

                              Have Houston -7.5. Would be shocked if we keep it closer than that.
