re: Tide Hoops | 25-12 (13-5)

I think we will come out and play good and acquit ourselves well. Don’t know if it will be enough, but I think we will be ready.

What I think will be keys to the game.

1. Shooting. I do worry about the sight lines and the threes. These stadiums can be tough to shoot in. But I think we need 15-20 threes to pull it off.

2. We have to get off to a good start. Start we like we did against Clemson and we will be buried. Just hang early and don’t get blitzed out of the gate. We’ve been dynamite second half in the tourney.

3. Have to limit their runs. Nate will have to use his TO’s smartly and efficiently.

4. Have to try to stay out of foul trouble. Their big man is a load but Nelson and Pringle have to stay on the floor. I think, if we pull it off, we look back and Wague and Dioubate give big minutes and fouls.
