Good lord we are even a bigger underdog going into this than in '93 vs Miami in the Sugar Bowl.

NOBODY is giving us a chance.

Not even our own fanbase really.

I mean I kind of get it because UConn is awesome.

But they have lost 3 games this year on nights where they were off a bit.

Anything can happen and especially if our guys are hot from 3.

Well, they do look completely dominate. After we won the clemson game, one of my sons said "it'll be an honor to get crushed by UConn".

I do hope we can somehow keep it close.

I saw on Twitter where we had first practice today at Grand Canyon University. I wonder if the team got mugged during practice? Did Wrightsell get another concussion?

Someone said that when Creighton beat UConn they left the big center Clingen/Klingon get his. And shut down the others.

kept their bigs out of foul trouble and they wore them down.
Good strategy. You have to disrupt the flow before a big like that gets the ball. Once he gets it it's all but too late.
I actually think this is in our best interests. But it'll take us shooting our way past them from 3 land.

But, from what I've seen of our bigs VS. UConn's and Purdue's, we don't stand a chance of actually stopping them consistently. And, by all means, if they get the ball, don't foul and just let 'em shoot it over you for 2.

They actually would probably prefer us to double their bigs to be able to kick out for their shooters at the line.

If we can do this on defense, it'll come down to Bama's offense executing and hitting the 3 ball.

Nate has figured out that 3 > 2 100% of the time!

They agreed to let us use their gym if they can video tape our practices because the offense they used against us was laughable.
