Yesterday with Texas Tech. They hung in with them for about 30 minutes and then Texas Tech flipped a switch but that is going to be a tough road contest for the Sycamores.
They really struggled with Tech's athleticism and physicality around the rim. They have a pretty good big and a couple very nice guards with good looking strokes. They also employ a ton of screens to get their shooters open so our guards and wings will need to be ready to attack that properly. The other thing I noticed is they seem to have nice length with most of their guards 6-2 to 6-5 and bigs all seemed 6-8 or 6-9.
If our bigs came out and set the pace by knocking those guys around, I think we could do some serious harm. This is a game where I've like to see extended minutes for either Rickman or Kessinger as I think both attack the glass better than Murphy and Bell.
