Post play. We are going to need a big game inside the paint if we are going to win this game. Need another 20+ point night from Myles.
 
Will the REAL Jake Odum show up in Nashville? The one that hits most of his free throws (and gets to shoot many of them), the one that makes twice as many assists as turnovers & the one that controls the game?

If so, put it in the WIN COLUMN!
 
Can we play a solid 40 minutes? Can we avoid the 7-8 minute dry spells that have plagued us this season. If we get a lead, can we keep it and finish a team off.

^^^^ That's my biggest worry. 40 minutes of solid basketball. Just ONE of those 12-0 runs against us, and we probably can't fight our way back in..

Not the biggest question mark, but I'm curious....how will the ISU fan contingency be down in Nashville? I'm not able to make it there, but hoping we'll have a nice little section of blue and white.
 
Does our lack of size show up again against a BCS team. Im getting tired of stating it but it just makes no sense why we never even try carl at the 3 when we are getting owned on the boards. It would solve a lot of our problems.

- People think RJ and Gant should be getting more minutes and having Carl play some 3 opens more minutes up for those two.

- Richard playing the 3 moves steve or jp to the bench and therefore strengthens our guard depth. Also probably means less minutes for Eitel (which is probably a good thing, kid plays hard but he is probably getting more PT then he deserves at this point in his career)

- Helps our rebounding with Carl, Walker and another big on the floor at the same time. Also the fact Richard can score inside and out could present matchup problems for teams at the 3.


The main argument for him not playing more at the 3 is that he cannot handle the ball well and does not make great decisions with the ball. Well Lathan is the exact same way almost. He handles it a little better but commits just as many dumb mistakes with the basketball. Also Richard is a more consistant shooter than Lathan and provides more of a post up game. People see Lathan as a fit at the 3 and not Carl and I just dont really get why. Not trying to change the subject but if Vandy kills us on the glass like i'm fearing they will and Richard is nullified by their much bigger front line then I think its time to start thinking about switching it up to help us compete against bigger teams
