-Thoughts on Cincy: Remind one of a Huggins/Martin team. Offense starts on an offensive rebound.
-Their emphasis is defense. Play man to man and match up zone.....and can't tell the difference a lot of times.
-Do a lot of unconventional things on defense....turn their back to their man, inconsistent switches, etc. Nothing will be easy against their D.
-On offense, nothing fancy. Power offense. Analogy would be three yards and a cloud of dust. Philosophy is get ball to rim and hit the boards.
-How has travel been? Little difficult. But, got the extra day. If we would of played on Thursday, would have got whipped....because of late game, early departure and extensive travel. Kids were not where near prepared to play at high level yesterday.
-How about K-State? Yes, WF defense was not good, but high shooting percentage was everyone....not just one guy. That's a good sign. Brown is starting to hit those tough shots like he's capable.
-Main thing is everyone step up tonight. Won't be many open shots, so can't be turning them down when you get one. So, everyone has to step up and take the shot when there.
-Only thing that might succeed against Cincy is driving and dishing. Cincy will not allow an open shot. Therefore, when guards drive, due to switches and so forth, there might be three guys determined to stopping the drive.....leaving someone open.
