So did the question of who didn’t make the trip, get answered?

There are no Jay Huffs in the MAC. Let Daddy feast, then Sam and Trey can pick the bones.

I am concerned that instead of abusing the lack of height on Ohio that we will try to go small with them. I’m hoping McKoys presumed absence will push us away from that

Damn Straight Dragon, I’m pumped and ready to go. Your the Man!

This seems like a good time to repost this. Getting ahead of overflowing passions for tonight’s game and hopefully the tourney run ahead.

I assume you mean making use of our height advantage on the offensive end, which usually means post them up or crash the boards. But when have we ever done either? It’s just not the makeup of this team for whatever reason. Murphy seems to have gotten a little more aggressive in the last couple of games. I hope he is today.

10% Hoos win comfortable, 45% Hoos win in Cardiac cavs fashion, 35% Hoos lose in Cardiac cavs fashion, 10% We are cold from 3, not aggressive, can’t match Ohio’s march madness nothing-to-lose/leave-it-all-on-the-floor energy and they start chucking out of confident desperation, get down early and panic leading to the kihei hero-drives and no touches for Hauser or Huff leading to a 30 point blow out. Nothing to base those odds on. Tonight will be glorious regardless

That’s partially my point but from a lineup perspective we also tend to match our opponent

HGN saw my post in the beer thread

We have but not as much since we really shortened the bench. I hope Jay’s outside shot pulls their big guy out of the middle and disrupts their defensive positioning. It really screwed with UNC. But UNC is pretty easy to screw with.

fun fact: their shooting guard, miles brown, is number two on new york’s all time leading scorer list. joseph girard is first

Do we know who is calling our game? Couldn’t find it online.

Carter Blackburn/Debbie Antonelli/Evan Washburn

Comment on Borzello tweet says online sleuths seem to be pointing to McKoy as the guy who’s out. Anyone who can confirm?

that was the word the day of the covid positive announcement. Bench big. We have only one who played vs Cuse.

I’m surprised one of those guys didn’t watch our shoot around and report it.

jason preston is only 58.5% from the free throw line yet he’s above 40% from three. pretty small free throw sample size though and he’s shot them better every other year but still interesting

Okay so we’re going to need some Papi and hopefully Kadin tonight? Kadin should be healthy by now.
