What's everyone's thoughts?
I know we are home after 2 games away and its a good time to get a sweep against a good team.
3 keys to the game for me.
Rebounding: Baylor has made a living rebounding the ball as one of the nations best. Gathers is the arguably best in the country at this. He has something like 66 putback backets this year. We have to drive him out from getting easy shots.
Attacking the zone: In the first meeting our first half was extremely poor at figuring out the zone. The 2nd half we attacked the middle with Mari, and high ball screens which opened up a lot of things. Now that Cliff is starting expect us to put Ellis in that same position and hopefully our passing and aggressiveness will find ways to break the zone down.
Turnovers: Lately our value for the ball hasn't been what it could be. Oklahoma St, especially, 1st half Texas Tech.
I think its a very close game because of how hard it is to beat teams twice no matter where it is. Allen gives us 5-10 points with the atmosphere and I'm banking our players will play with good energy at home. We need to compete with the rebounds, limit the bad turnovers and attack attack the zone. I'm predicting 72-67 win!
