Any good spots to eat before the game walking distance to Carver?
One of the biggest changes in the Birds game since the last time these teams matched up is defense. ISU has gone to playing more match up zone, which in theory, should eliminate getting beat on back cuts. However, it’s a dangerous game to play if you plan on zoning with Deen out there. The kid made 9 threes on Wednesday night. If they are going to throw the zone out there, it better be fully extended so that any 3 ball is from 25+ feet.I hope for a great contest and fingers crossed that our D will respond to backdoor cuts from 1st contest. BU is very good as their athleticism seems superior especially the 2 bigs with their length.
I do expect we'll see the grit and fight from our guys so here's to hoping we can pull off something special in Peoria.
You can take that to the bank!Cautiously optimistic, but what the hell, this past weekend has me doing keg-stands of Red Kool-Aid.
- BU overdoes it on Johnny Cash so Mal steps up with a renewed confidence.
- Foster gives them interior fits and Chase finally starts getting some mild respect calls, resulting in Wardle's grumpy ass getting T'd up over frustration on his crash-the-paint Band-aid defense.
- Braves just keep coming back, though, as things continue to get chippy and it turns into a free-throw shooting contest.
- Goes down to the wire, where Kusubke lunges for an inbounds pass, Kinziger dives for the loose ball, feeds a baseball pass to Lewis for the two hand dunk to ice it after a few more FTs: 81-74.
Keep Spreading' the Red!
I would much rather force them to beat us with threes then watch dunkfest we saw in Normal.One of the biggest changes in the Birds game since the last time these teams matched up is defense.

Is there a form of matchup zone that basically says “man up this one guy and Zone everyone else”?One of the biggest changes in the Birds game since the last time these teams matched up is defense.

Good point ... his height could help with Bradley's length. I think his defense is probably his strength and pretty consistent.I think Jordan Davis could help us out defensively this time
4. Score first and then 4 corner their ass the rest of the way.1. Box and one or

Hah! I witnessed the longest NCAA game in history BU vs Cincinnati back in 1981 home for Christmas Break- 7 OTs before the shot clock- it was one possession per OT, whoever got the jump held it for one shotExactly 45 years ago today!!
Halftime:
#6 Duke - 7

Yes which is much taller than Burford and Johnny and 2 or 3 inches taller than Banks. Luke is the only other guard that really offers any length at all.he's 6'4.
