Looks dead even on paper.

81-81 or 82-82 going into OT just finish my heart off…lol

I'm glad to see our 3P% has increased over the season. Seems like it was sitting around 30-32% for a while. We're gonna need to rain em Thursday.

I haven't looked at the data but I think Youngblood had an impact on improving the 3-point percentage. When he started playing, his early games were frustrating but after a few weeks, he seemed to get in his groove.

I wish he could get more playing time. Seems like he and Stevenson sub each other a lot; offense for defense, which is CNO coaching characteristic.

But like most good shooters, Youngblood is streaky. Sometimes I just wish CNO would leave him in longer, especially after he's made a couple of 3s.

I expect this will be a tough game. However, it is our game to win or lose. If we play to our potential, we win, no matter how well they play. But if we are off, then it will be a tossup.

Either scenario is possible. I'm not selling them short.

Should have pretty easy time getting the opportunities... they don't defend the three well at all. If either time is "off" from three, it could get dicey quick.

I agree. We are more highly ranked for a reason.

But, we haven't played a great game since beating AU.

In the Dance, we've basically won on being more talented and playing slightly better than the opponent.

This is the kind of game (and will be from here on out) that if we don't play closer to our A game will go home a loser.

We might could win with a B+ effort, but it'll be too close for comfort.

If we get by BYU, it'll likely be Duke in the EE and then the FF awaits. Those games we better bring our A games!

Good news (in a way) is we haven't played close to our A game potential yet this tourney!
