Keys to beat OSU
Break the press away from Smart.
Route the half court offense away from Smart.
Deny Smart his 5.5 steals and OSU cannot win.
Deny Brown the ball. He is the real key to OSU's offense.
Get the ball to Joel first three trips, get the ball to Wiggins first one trip. Repeat.
Prepare for pressing, especially the 2-2-1 but expect fewer types of presses.
Prepare for switching Defenses during possessions.
In summary, play like we did the first half at home vs. Texas. Not many "talking heads" are picking us to win as this is desperation game for OSU. Keep the crowd out of it -- swinging momentum our way is key. And NEVER leave Forte open.
@RockChalkinTexas who did we put on Forte last game? I was thinking he had most of his 3's first half and then we did a better job, 2nd half? I was at that game and the refs let that game get out of hand. Do we win an ugly game?
@RockChalkinTexas Crowd shouldn't be an issue as the arena has been half full all year! Surely they won't sell out tonite cuz the Jayhawk/Game Day show is in town?
Oops I phlipping phorgot about Phil Phorte!!!!
He is a dead eye that needs a close shadow.
