keys against Cincy?

[pnkranger]

I'm going to say:

Rebounding
Balance on offense
Perimeter defense

I'll add limiting turnovers and transition defense to your list.

Cincy has been playing with four guards in their starting lineup and scoring a lot of points. That tells me their game plan will include pressure defense to create turnovers, and a run and gun offense designed to score quickly off of the opponent's miscues.

This will not be an easy game by any means. Our kids will have to match Cincy's intensity, and keep their composure on the road, to have any chance of coming away with another victory.

If we can keep our rebounding edge that we've had over other opponents, then we should win. If they want to run four guards out there, then we can just play good solid D and limit their looks, while scooping up offensive boards on the other end to give us extra trips.

Perimeter defense
Pound the ball to Fitz and Osby
Not be afraid to get transition baskets (preferably off of turnovers and long rebounds).

 

[NormanPride]

Think we'll see Pledge post up more since they run with so many guards?

Keys?
Avoid the left hook!

Fitz is the key. We need him to exploit their small lineup.

Start a fight. If we can keep the ratio of players ejected to even, we will dominate them with the players left over.
