They could definitely play mad, but the way Temple defended them, it could also be a sign that you can guard them. They are not an overpowering team offensively. If we can hit a few shots and play defense, I think we have a good chance (two big IFs). I would be surprised if that team can run us out of the gym like early in 2018.
24 hours from now we will be riding a red hot start and be up by 12 at the 1st TV timeout. It will pretty much stay that way for the remainder of the contest. Coogs Win By 10. GO COOGS!
Their backcourt went 0-15 at Temple so maybe they are shaken or come out for redemption.
Rose was 0- 22 before making shots against us
That bum for tulsa was 0 - college before making 3 against us including a 4 point play at the end of the clock to keep them in the game.
What I do believe is we have guys who can make threes with Sasser, Mills, Hinton and Grimes. As long as we play Cougar D we have a chance in any game
I look at it from a different POV: excluding Hawaii, the Coogs have not played great away from FC except for the 1st half of Temple. Hawaii, to me, has been their best stretch. Hope they start an even better stretch tomorrow.
I think we will play hard and go nose to nose with them…bottom line if our shots are following we can win anywhere…right now WSU is the best team in the conference coming off a road loss…they will defend their home court with everything they have…
Should be a great game…
