I was rooting for Oregon to pull off the comeback upset. I think we would smoke them by 20+ had we played them.
Arizona seems structured to give us more trouble and they have more talent. Sometimes teams play to their competition. So I think we will get a tough shot from them. They will be psyched. This will by no easy group with Alabama looming. But Arizona will be a battle.
We have to play well and we will need to shoot well. I would really like to see Slim get in there and get an open 3. He seems to force the ball too much of late - sensing I think, that his playing time is predicated on his hitting shots. But I want him to simply play the game and let it come to him. Flagg has done well with that the last half of this year. Even Knueppel has matured in that way from early on. But defensively we have to focus for 40 minutes.
We should win this game on paper, but it won't be as easy as Oregon would have been. Everyone needs to bring it.
GTHC, GTH.
